Description: 5️⃣ FF5; Pyramid Pose

Grab two yoga blocks to help!

BENEFITS
increase hamstring flexibility so we can kick up less, and maintain more control in our handstands

GOALS
Be able to lay your rib cage down on your thigh to achieve good flexibility (consistently) in the pose- on both sides. 

PRACTICE
Stretch this pose when your legs are warm, post-workout! Put it into your yoga. I also give you a good sequence you can use. Do before you practice kicking up.

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!

Cate

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.

Jessi

2️⃣ FF2: Wrists & Fingers

I finally cleared push up drills !! After that I felt so good this strong vinyasa!! This program is awesome!!

2️⃣ Drill 2: Strong Vinyasas

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 ❤️

This was amazing! So helpful and to the point. Really enjoying Handstand Habits!

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!

Who knew a hollow body hold could be SO hard?!

5️⃣ Strength 5; Hollow Body Core Holds

5️⃣ Drill 5; Falling Out

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!
