Handstand – Slide Away

Cues:

  • Secure handstand alignment against wall
  • Allow shoulders to drift forward to close the shoulder and slide the feet down the wall
  • When you slide far enough the feet will naturally float off the wall
  • It can be helpful to hang out in this planched forward position to build strength and awareness
  • Stabilize at this point then push tall into a stacked position
  • Tilt back to wall – it is ok if you lightly flop against it
  • Only the shoulder joint should have movement in this exercise

Mistakes:

  • Sagging in the back
  • Shoulders sinking down
  • Piking at the hips
  • Pushing off with the feet
