Progress Wednesdays – A Little Update on My Handstands Journey

Last Updated on August 21, 2015 by Miranda

The day I got inspired

Earlier this year, after attending a Acro-Yoga class, I set myself the goal of learning how to do a handstand. It took me a while to get started… but eventually I did (with a bit of support of course!).

So I started with kicking off a box against the wall, then moved on to launching ( 🙂 ) from the ground against the wall and most recently trying my hand at headstands (plus a variation).

I haven’t been practicing as much lately, however I feel like I am getting closer to coming off the wall (well… with headstands at least!).

Check out my progress videos below.

The beginning:

Week 1 of handstands practice – jumping off the box. I can now hold the pose for 15 secs 😆😆😆 #handstands #gym #fitness

Balancing and core work for the day done. This is the best way to test how strong your abs are! #headstand #balance #acrobatics #core #abs #fitness

Coming closer to achieving my goal:

It’s been a long time but no progress has been lost! Moving on to unassisted headstands #headstands #fitness #abs #balance
