@catbradleyyoga on Press Love ❤️ — It’s tentative, its shaky, it's a little scary, its uneven but damn it feels feckin amazing! I have developed spaghetti arms 🙈 I cant for the life of me hold a handstand. Getting up there seems to be ok but staying there is a slight issue at the moment 🤣..... I know its strength and it'll come back so I'm not bothered, quite the opposite, I'm beyond excited!!!!!! 🤪🎉🤸‍♀️🙋‍♀️ I don't know about anyone else but the key cues that work for me here are : shoulders depressed (until fully inverted) and retracted, arms bent, thighs to ribs and pelvis is in posterior tilt until it is high enough to send into anterior tilt to balance the weight. I also imagine I'm dipping under something. (That probably makes no sense to anyone else but works well for me, it means I don't need to have flexible hamstrings and arms bent for now🙈) #questforthepress #handstandpress #handstand #yoga #yogatutorial #yogavideo

PRESS HANDSTAND PROGRESS Tada!!! Look what I can do!!! Sort of! May not be perfect form but it definitely feels like a breakthrough. It’s amazing how quickly you can progress when you set your mind to something. And the power of saying it out loud on insta -making me accountable to put the work in has definitely given me a kick up the 🍑 Thanks for all your help guys!!! Actual out loud woos and cheers for myself! 😂 - #questforthepress #missionaccomplished #mylifeiscomplete (at Manchester, United Kingdom)

How to : press to handstand using blocks 🤔 Before I begin i should start with one major disclaimer; I am nowhere near ever being a handstand press expert so please don't expect this to be the yoga bible page! Yoga police can chill out now 😉 What I am trying to share here is what I've learned through learning these skills myself. If you want expert advice then go read a book. 😜 Straddle press to handstand was and still is a struggle for me. I swear I can do it no problem once a day at the very beginning of my practice when I'm not warned up, if I'm remotely warmed up then it just won't happen. To be fair I am a very lazy presser I don't give it the time it deserves.... I love when it happens and I couldn't give a hoot when it doesn't. 😩 Anyway someone asked me what my thoughts are on using blocks under the feet and my honest answer is it never worked for me. I know why it didn't - because I lack flexibility. I rely on upper body strength for pressing. You can even see when I press that my hips aren't as stacked as some tutorials would make you bekeiev they need to be. If I was flexible then they would stack. Hence why I prefer the strap for learning to press. My advice is if you're flexible then this is a great approach and if you're not then give the strap a try. 1. Using a block or even something higher under each foot. I have my blocks about shoulder width apart. Squeeze thighs to belly. 2. I have a weird cue that helps me here, I dip low with my arms and pretend I'm going under something first and then scoot hips as high as I can coming on to tippy toes. 3. I round the upper back as much as I can and then I try to stuck my butt out behind me as I get as high as I think I will get and as far forward as I can go without falling on my face. 4. I take a big inhale and then exhale to lift up. You'll always see me catch my breath about halfway up. That's me saying holy crap I'm up now relax and get all the way up now 😂 Hope this helps someone out there. L❤X #catspresstips #catshandstandtips #yoga #questforthepress
