The 'Handstand-7' is a fundamental structural awareness drill which facilitates learning the sensation of a "stacked" structure, i.e. having the hips stacked over the shoulders stacked over the hands in an alignment which results in supporting your centre of mass (around the pelvis) over your SKELETAL structure.
