Master Headstands and Inversions Safely

This is my 8 step guide to learning a headstand. Each step builds on the last, ensuring you develop strength and control. Remember to get comfortable with one step before moving to the next.

Do you kick up into your headstand? Using strength instead of momentum is key for control. This video shows how to work towards a half headstand first, bringing the knees to the chest to build core awareness.

If tight hamstrings make it hard to align your hips over your shoulders, using a block or a stool can help. This video shows how props can help you find the correct alignment to lift off with control.

The fear of falling can hold you back. In my workshops, we learn how to roll out of a headstand safely. This drill helps your body remember how to relax and roll, just like we did as kids.
