Back-to-wall handstand line
Handstand supported-alignment
•
42s
THE WHAT:
The back-to-wall handstand line should be considered an ACCESSORY variation to it's wall-facing counterpart, which is more effective at both reveling and developing breakdowns in optimal straight-line alignment.
Whilst it can be a valuable tool for developing fundamental strength & conditioning in the inverted position, in the absence of pre-established optimal alignment the back-to-wall variation carries the danger of sustaining the inverted hold with poor alignment and/or a lack of desirable 'rigidity' through your form.

Wall-facing dorsiflexed HS alignment
THE WHAT:
A wall-supported alignment & balance context which initiates from a STRAIGHT-line, albeit with the ankles in a dorsiflexed position. Key to optimal practice here is ensuring that, from the beginning, the hands are not too far, and not too close to the wall.A measure has been recommend...

Wall-facing 'diagonal' HS alignment
THE WHAT:
A wall-supported alignment & balance context which initiates from a STRAIGHT-line, albeit leaning against the wall in a more diagonal position. This requires the hands to be placed slightly further from the wall than in standard 'wall-facing' alignment so that there is some gravitationa... -
Wall-facing 'tuck-HS'
THE WHAT:
A very accessible wall-facing context to develop an understanding of the shoulder & hip position for optimal "stacking" in a 'tuck-handstand' form. At the same time, however, the position teaches the sensation & patterning of optimally extending from the UPPER-back (thoracic-spine) for ...
