Handstand is a posture that takes a lot of balance, strength and skill. I this class we focus on the strength portion of that equation by strengthening our shoulders and wrists in the overhead position.
Class starts with some CARs and then we open up our wrist extension, as well as shoulder external rotation and flexion. We create more stability with active strengthening and control work, and challenge the forearm tissue with eccentrics. You will need two blocks (four could be helpful for some people), and a blanket is helpful but not required.
