A short video demonstrating Handstand Splits at the wall. I originally made this video to supplement episode 33

I will be publishing the second video for this class next week!

omg! I finally did a handstand. I’ve always been too shy to try it in class and my ego rages around about it, but here in my house, I just hopped right on up. THANK YOU.
Yipee!!!! I’m so happy for you!!!! great job!!!! I love handstands
Thanks for the video. I have been working on handstand for a couple months. Building strength. I can kick up to a wall and hold for a minute, but I lack balance (over or under kick) without the wall. Any tricks other than alot of practice? Because of this “issue” I am approaching it from a strength method. Trying from crane or Uttana Salabhasana (locust) without the wall.
Thanks again.
Hi Andy! I gotta tell you that when it comes to steadiness and balance in handstand, and of course consistency, the key is not strength, but softness (if you can believe that one!) Handstand is not about will, but surrender, the will is already inherently built in the pose.
When you kick up, think about keeping your arms strong and your heart soft, feel yourself kicking up from your back body, especially the area where your kidneys are. Imagine those guys lifting you up to get to the wall
It’s a tough concept. I find that everytime I put all my energy there, the liftoff is so much easier and balance is often ‘gifted’ to you, even though it may only be for a moment 
Rising from Bakasana and Uttana Salabhasana, same thing, thing the lift off comes from the kidneys, from them expanding so much that you just raise up, not so much from the strength of your arms (which of course plays a big part) but the kidneys make it oh, so much easier! (mind you, I’ve never done it
but when I’ve been spotted to do it, it’s seamless when rising from the back body! )
