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
