Pillar 1: Mindset & Meditation

Handstand is a concept that we must mentally & energetically understand, just as much as we physically practice. Through connecting with the breath, we become more present. When we are present, we are truly in our bodies. It is important that we become grounded before we begin playing with gravity. 

Energy flows where attention goes. Creating an intention for your handstand journey & practice is essential. What do you want to focus on? Strength? Confidence? Fun? Empowerment? Balance? Setting an intention is what we must do consistently to achieve the goal.

Do you believe you can fly? This is the first step before we enter the physical practice.

Core principles we cover in this video:

• Belief/Mindset – addressing limiting beliefs
• Intention (focus)
• Breath (ujjayi / ocean breath)
• Grounding/centering/rooting
• Tapas – stoking the inner fire (breath + discipline)
• Play (leela): fitness needs to be fun!
