Caitlin

Great! I’m learning a lot. Just need to conquer fear of falling

Sarah

Sherise

So hard!  But I can see that slowly and over time these will help me build muscle

Cierra

Good content, excited to get started! Not sure if you control this, but videos automatically rotate to the long ways though, annoying when I’m holding my phone vertically and also can no longer see the informative text.

What can I do if I can t come into the L-shape ?

Caroline

I am so excited for this! You wouldn’t believe. My handstand journey is a long one and I was sort of stuck. Super happy to get some new drills I can work on.
You should be so proud of yourself for launching this app. All the love to you and your perfect little family from Germany!

Angela Brenner

Very difficult. Got to keep at it and i’ll improve

Alana

While also working flexibility add these into your daily routine as often as you can. 2-3 reps for 30 seconds so you’re working a total of 5-10 minutes a day! Without proper shapes and strength, holding a handstand efficiently and one that won’t lead to injury over time because of poor form. If you can’t hold yourself up with proper shapes, we need to work on those intrinsic muscles so you can hold your handstand efficiently with correct posture.

What is diaphragmatic breathing?

Great explanation of diaphragmatic breathing!

Cristine

Diaphragmatic Breathing in depth

It was great - but one question - does this mean the diaphragm breathing is all the time or just while working out?

Charissa

Diaphragmatic Breathing Tutorial

Yes! I found myself yesterday holding my breath (always have, especially when I was trying to keep my core engaged) but I kept catching myself and telling myself to breath.

Saving up to buy the core guide but found this tip helpful! Need all the breathing tips while I have pneumonia 😅

Tristian

Needed that clarification!! Thanks, I still feel lost with this but I’m trying very hard to figure it all out. I have you core guide and healthy mama, healthy baby! I want master this so all the little bit of info and explanation I can get is so helpful💙thanks for taking the time to explain!!!

Courtney

Breathing Tip

What a great way of providing feedback to better understand and reinforce diaphragmatic breathing!!! I can’t wait to do this daily for a few weeks/months to see if it really can help me reprogram my normal breathing!

Meaghan

Great tip! I was completely unaware of this breathing exercise and will give it a try! I have large rips so I want to be conscious on corseting them in naturally with my muscle strength. 
Thank you!!
