The 3 Biggest Mistakes I See New Hand-Balancers Make

When people decide to start training handstands, they get SO excited! But many sabotage their success by doing one (or all) of these three things:

1) They only focus on practicing handstands and forget that strength training and flexibility training is just as important as practicing the actual skill.

2) They don't record themselves during their handstand practice. What we think we are doing and what we are actually doing are often quite different when we start our handstand journey so recording yourself can be so valuable!!

3) They rely on the wall exclusively. In order to improve your handstands, you gotta practice away from the wall! In order to get away from the wall, you need to learn how to exit a handstand safely through cartwheeling out. You might need a coach or spotter to learn this skill but I find that my clients learn this skill very quickly.

If you identified yourself in any of these 3 mistakes-- don't get down on yourself just make the necessary changes so you can reach your goals quicker!

YOU CAN MASTER YOUR HANDSTAND no matter your skill level or age! You just need to put in the work and stay committed! If you're looking for help, the power of having a one-on-one coach cannot be overstated. I would love to help you hit your handstand goals quicker, safer, and more confidently!
