When it comes to a press handstand, one of the things to really pay attention to is the starting position...that doesn't mean you need more core strength. That doesn't mean you need more arm strength.
Ever felt like the press handstand is an unattainable feat? Brian Aganad, the seasoned yoga teacher and host of 'The Asana Academy Podcast', is here to debunk that myth. In this episode, Brian dives into the crucial roles that hip flexors and compression play in mastering this challenging pose. He makes it clear that it's not just about brute strength; it's about leveraging your body's natural mechanics.
Many yogis mistakenly focus on core or arm strength, but Brian explains that the secret lies in the hip flexors. Weak hip flexors can create a disconnect between your upper and lower body, making the press handstand seem impossible. By building strength and improving compression, you can achieve this advanced lift with more ease than you thought possible. Brian’s engaging and supportive teaching style offers practical tips and insights, helping you see the press handstand from a new perspective.
Whether you're a seasoned yogi or just starting out, this episode provides valuable advice to enhance your practice and tackle new challenges. Tune in and discover how to work with your body’s natural leverage points to make the press handstand a reality.
