Often times when we do handstands in class, it's been a long time since a student has attempted one. Being upside down can be disconcerting, to say the least. The best way to get over that feeling, though, is to practice. Find a wall you can get up against and spend some time upside down. Before long, your body will realize you're doing this on purpose! You will start to acclimate to being inverted and the head rushes won't be so bad!


Push, Devin!

I love doing handstands. I only wish that they were natural to me. I wish that I could do a 30 second handstand, walk on my hands, pirouettes and even read a magazine while I'm up there... The only problem is that I haven't been able to hold a handstand longer than about 10 seconds. And all the work that goes into becoming better at them is fine and dandy, but it just seems to take forever to get better.

Well, as I like to say - "The walk of 1,000 miles starts with the first step."
