Hand Stand
|
At first be near a wall. Bring your hands to the floor about six inches from the wall. Your hands should be shoulder width apart, fingers spread wide, index fingers parallel. On a deep exhale kick your legs up to the wall. Kick the legs in a controlled manner so that you land at the wall gently. Look towards the floor. Straighten your elbows all the way. Straighten your fingers and press your hands firmly down. Tuck your buttocks and make sure your ribcage is kept into your body. Your legs remain active, knees and feet together. Extend up and up. The goal is to have your body as straight and long as possible. Hold for as long as possible, breathing deeply. Then slowly come down and rest. Very energizing. Builds upper body strength and stretches shoulders. Benefits digestion. |
