INTRODUCTION
Getting the right alignment whilst upside down and using your hands like feet to balance in a handstand isn’t easy if you’ve never done it before.
If like us you, don’t have a gymnastics background and no prior handstand experience but you’re excited and motivated to learn, there are a few things that get in the way… often being scared of falling as well as technical things like your alignment and finger control.

In this article and video tutorials, we look at two ways to use the wall to help assist you in your handstand balance. Neither is right nor wrong but if you understand the principles, both can be very effective in your handstand training.
Once you understand the principles, it’s then over to you to use one or both variations, whichever feels more comfortable for you when you’re upside down… or maybe you’re confident enough to use the benefits of both!
option one // wall walks
OPTION TWO // WALL KICK UPS
