Description: OAH one arm handstand

Start with all fingers tented, then go to two fingers, then to one finger, then finally, bend your finger so that your hand is floating just above the ground. For each progression, you'll know you're ready to move to the next level when you're not putting too much pressure through your fingers anymore

While tilting our hips, we focus on keeping our shoulders in the exact same position. 


We also want to keep our hips in position, even while leaning. While in the handstand position, it’s helpful to think about trying to push your feet towards the ground, to lock in a tight straddle. 



Again, keep it tight! In your hips, and in your shoulders, be mindful to try and not let things start to rotate or tilt out of place, as this will eventually lead to you coming fully out of the handstand

Whenever you are leaning, one way to ensure your form is correct is to try to keep a straight line between your butt crack and your lower spine. When you lean, you don’t want that line to become curved.  



So, remember: “spine, in line, with butt crack.” You can try to work on this form cue, using your best friend the wall, and film yourself to connect what you’re doing to what you’re feeling, as well as try to make the needed adjustments.
