Handstand IS NOT about the kick up đ Although the top leg seems to be key, truthfully itâs the bottom leg that matters.
And if you donât set up correctly? Youâre not just making the pose harder⊠youâre teaching your body the wrong pattern đ
Let me show you the difference:
đ If your ribs are flared and your back is arched in the setup, your legs might look straight⊠but theyâre not aligned. Youâll end up in a banana back, and your body will memorize that as straight.
đ The real goal? Start in a hollow back position: ribs in, core tight, upper body slightly rounded like cat pose. From there, push through your arms, keep the bottom foot grounded, and lift that foot straight up.
Not swinging. Not flinging. Just pulling into alignment. It might not look dramatic. But that subtle difference is everything đ
Thatâs why setup matters: itâs not just about âgetting up,â itâs about teaching your body what straight actually feels like.
