Description: 3️⃣ Strength 3: Down Dog Push Ups

Going through these on Mothers Day with my kids and husband at church and me at home with a really tired napping baby— it almost made me cry hearing your sweet kids and tv in the background. Loved so much that you’re doing this video w them right there. That’s what it’s about Mama— happiest Mother’s Day to you Kenzie ❤️

Definitely true with the “use it or lose it” statement. I lost SO MUCH flexibility since I had kids! It’s hard work getting it back! I will do it though!!

✅Flexibility Focus Intro

Drills…Eeek!! Super pumped 🤸‍♀️ practice makes perfect

✅Drills Intro

loved the kicks at the end. great quick warmup

Kacie Martin

This was great! A good stretch after a workout as well as a great warmup for handstand practice!

I find the exercises and the explanation really great, but there’s — to my taste — a lot of talk before and after and sometimes in between which I find redundant. 
As feedback, totally subjective of course, less (talk) is more (focus) 😊

Jessica

Universal Handstand Warm Up

Kelsey 

Definitely harder then expected on the last set of push ups! 🔥🔥

Katie

1️⃣ Strength 1: Push Ups

I’ve been passively practicing yoga for years and I’ve never had anyone explain what extending through your shoulders should feel like and wow! It made a HUGE difference for my down dog. 😍 Excited to learn more!

I thought my downdogs were really good before; so happy to be perfecting it!

Dani

1️⃣ FF1; Downward Facing Dog

Laëtitia

I really enjoy coming back to these basics!! Sometimes I get caught up in movement that I don’t remember to keep correct form. Holding downdog was definitely challenging for me!

Alexandra

1️⃣ Drill 1; Holding Down Dog

Man these videos are great! I exercise daily and in pretty darn good shape one year after my 5th but shew! 😂💦💪🏼

I love the bear crawls! The shoulder extension feels great I can really tell the difference.

GOT SOME HANG TIME TODAY!!!! Yeeessssss!!!!

3️⃣ Drill 3; Donkey Kicks

Gah so good!!! Love military push-ups!! 💪🏼💪🏼💜

Stayed at this set of drills and exercises for the past 2 weeks and today I feel soooo much stronger.  Those 3 sets of 10 chatarunga push ups today were “cake” when they were very hard when I started on Day1 of the handstand habits.

I’m grateful I’ve been working out with you for the past 2 years because these strength videos have been a breeze! Thanks for helping me be stronger!

Dana

4️⃣ Strength 4; Chatarunga Push Ups

4️⃣ FF4; Puppy Pose

This was a great beginning point to feel that balance in a hand stand. Very well taught.

Stephanie

I am LOVING this handstand habits program! I’ve always wanted to master a handstand but I never built in consistent stretches and drills that would get me there. I would just throw myself into them constantly and hope I would eventually get hang time…now I can proudly say I am hitting some good hang time with these L hops, and I know I’ll be in a full handstand soon!

Becca

Love how much hang time I’m getting already! I’ve been working towards handstands for a while but these drills and things are helping me actually see progress now. Thank you!

5️⃣ Strength 5; Hollow Body Core Holds

5️⃣ FF5; Pyramid Pose

6️⃣ Strength 6; Plank holds

6️⃣ FF6; Dolphin Pose

I’m catching some major hang time these past 2 weeks and I’m SO excited!! The strength is there, I just need to be able to feel that balance on my hands each time now. Thank you!

I do love this one a lot. It’s longer in time but there is so much to cover as far as positioning and warnings for our wrists.

6️⃣ Drill 6; Wall work; kicking up & holding

cindy

Getting some really awesome hang time now days. This is so helpful, thank you!

I really liked how challenging this felt in my body. I’ve never regularly incorporated these like handstand static holds and I enjoy how much the body needs to work together to keep
This pose!
