Online Yoga Classes for Learning How to Do Handstands - büddhi

Most people who do online yoga classes have a goal of being able to do a freestanding handstand in the middle of the room. However, without consistent work and dedication it remains a far fetched dream. It takes a long time to train the body, let go of fear, and trust yourself enough to feel strong and supported while balancing on the hands. Not having the crutch of the wall supporting your body can be terrifying, but doing these classes often will help you overcome that.

Go Upside Down

Have some open wall space nearby for supported handstand.

Wall Magic

60-minute vinyasa with Carolina

This yoga at the wall class focuses on various types of poses using the wall for support. We begin with several flows and postures to loosen up the muscles around the shoulder girdle. Warm and open shoulders are important when working with binds and inversions. This class has a quick and effective warm up that uses vinyasas and warrior two sequences to build up internal heat as well as open up the hips in preparation for deep hip openers that also use the wall. Doing online yoga classes for handstands is the perfect way to prepare yourself for trying it out in live in-person group classes
