Handstand prep against the wall! Using the wall in this way is great if you're having a hard time kicking up against the wall, and if you've never done a handstand before but want to get the feel of balancing your weight on your hands in a safe way. Also, it's a great way to build strength in all the right places! Begin in downward facing dog with the edge of your heels against the wall. Walk your feet up against the wall slowly, one leg at a time. Then walk your hands closer towards the wall until your body is in an upside down L-shape with your wrists right beneath your shoulders (this is a lot of work already!). Once you are here, draw your shoulders down the back body (very important here not to crunch your shoulders up towards the ears) and keep your gaze between your index fingers. Relax your neck and make sure your fingers are spread wide, index pointing forward. Extend one leg up towards the sky (ankle, knee, hip, shoulder in line), pull the low belly in towards the spine and pause here. Focus on drawing the lower ribs towards the pubic bone and firming the triceps in. Lengthen the tailbone towards the heel of the lifted leg and energize all the way out into the tips of the toes (toes are flointed - mix between flexed and pointed!). Alternate legs (keeping the other leg in the L-shape) and work on breathing into this position and finding your alignment in this "half-handstand". If you want an extra challenge, extend one leg straight up towards the sky then draw the knee in towards the chest while keeping the collar bones spread wide. It's a tough one! Try three on each side - super duper mega killer ab work. Have fun with it... And make sure to keep space around the neck! #AlignmentDamnit #yogaeverydamnday
