Wall Handstand Hold
Step 1 - Start in downward dog facing away from the wall, about arm's length away
Step 2 - Walk feet up the wall one at a time
Step 3 - Walk hands closer to the wall until the body is nearly vertical
Step 4 - Hold position, engaging core and shoulders
Recommended Sets & Time:
Beginner: 2-3 sets of 10-20 seconds, 2 minutes rest
Intermediate: 3-4 sets of 20-45 seconds, 90 seconds rest
Advanced: 4-5 sets of 45-60 seconds, 60 seconds rest
What to Focus On:
Shoulder stability - Your shoulders should be working hard to keep you stable against the wall
Core engagement - Keep your abs tight to maintain a straight body line
Steady breathing - Don't hold your breath, breathe normally throughout the hold
Hand positioning - Keep your hands firmly planted, fingers spread for better stability
Modifications:
Easier: Keep your feet lower on the wall, creating a less vertical angle
Harder: Walk your hands closer to the wall for a more vertical handstand position
