One of my biggest December goals is to practice yoga at least 5 minutes everyday this month. Maybe it’s sitting in child’s pose the whole time, focusing on my breath, or simply messing around with handstands while it’s snowing for the first time here in VA❄️ - But I feel like I’ve been less consistent with my practice since we left Nashville, and I’m ready to come back now. My body’s craving it. My mind NEEDS the space. And more than anything, I’m DETERMINED to get these handstands down like it’s my JOB. (Especially because I’ve gained SO much muscle in the past few months & want to USE THOSE for this!)😂🙌🏽 - What I’ve been learning lately: 1. banana back is easier but doesn’t last long...so go for good alignment, focus on one line from your hands to your hips. 2. the faster you can get ONE leg above your hips and create that line, the less energy you’ll waste using while trying to kick up...& more you can use to MAINTAIN staying up. 3. Yes, your wrists are supposed to feel like they’re holding the entire weight of your body (cause they are) so practicing wrist exercises & stretches can actually help a TON. - Do you have any good handstand tips or are YOU still on the journey to holding one for longer than 3 seconds like me ;) ??? . . . . . #teamwholehearted #handstanding #handstandingaround #handstandpractice #handstands #handstandseverywhere #practiceandalliscoming #yogaeverywhereigo #yogilife #yogahandstand (at Culpeper County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrCDeQDB9mW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rpda4uzzpj03
