Mastering Handstands: Lessons from Driving on the Left Side of the Road

There's magic in repeating something enough to where it becomes so effortless. That shift is telling yourself: look, I'm going to try with everything I have to hold myself up.
Ever wondered what driving on the left-hand side of the road has to do with perfecting your handstand? In this intriguing episode of The Asana Academy Podcast, yoga teacher and handstand enthusiast Brian Aganad draws a fascinating parallel between these two seemingly unrelated activities. When Brian first started driving on the left in Ireland, he found his brain constantly pulling him to the right. This experience mirrors the conscious effort required to stay balanced in a handstand.
By practicing repeatedly, both driving and handstands can become second nature, thanks to muscle memory. Brian dives deep into the importance of focus and repetition. Just like a golf swing, with enough practice, your brain imprints the movement, making it almost impossible to forget. He emphasizes core strength and the technique of gripping the floor as essential components for a solid handstand.
The episode also touches on the psychology of excellence, discussing how building a routine and habit can lead to success. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or just starting out, Brian's insights offer valuable tips for anyone looking to improve their handstand practice. If you're ready to take your handstands to new heights, this episode is a must-listen!
