Here's how to do a hand stand? You will need a wall and some determination. Start with hands on floor about three feet away from a wall (looking at the wall between your arms). Soften knees and walk your feet up and down the wall - about 10 times every day for about a week or longer. (This will build scapula awareness and shoulder strength). As you progress, instead of walking up the wall, take a  large step up and down from the wall. Eventually practice moving your hands in closer to the wall, step up, brace the core, and float one leg away from the wall over your hip, alternate with one foot on the wall and one floating leg, then try bringing both legs away from the wall. Stay focused on your core strength and pressing into the fingers.  Allow patience & perseverance.

Yoga Pose of the Month

Reverse Warrior  
​(Viparita Virabhadrasana) 
​

1. From mountain pose step both feet wide (about 4-5 feet apart), and align the heels.
2. Turn front foot out to a 90-degree angle (bend front knee directly over the ankle and line up with middle toes). Pivot back foot slightly forward to a comfortable 45-degree angle, soften back knee.
3. Raise arms to Warrior II (palms down, chest proud, shoulders aligned with hips.) Press your back foot into the earth and distribute your weight into both legs by pressing your heels away from each other connecting with the inner thighs.
4. Exhale and lower your back hand to the back thigh. Inhale lift front arm palm up fingers to the sky. Keep front knee bent and hips sinking, lengthen through your side waist as you look to your fingers, start to slide your back hand further down your leg with each out breath.

5. Relax shoulders & keep the chest lifted as you release into this beautiful heart opening asana, smile and enjoy for 5-7 deep breaths. (repeat on the opposite side)
Add reverse warrior to your regular practice and reap the benefits of solidifying  your core, improving your balance, challenging your mind and strengthening your legs. Namaste... Barb
