Defying Gravity: Handstand Coaching & Practice

Why handstand? For me, it has been a dream, a love, and a reason to get on the mat for the last five years. It represents the passion and dedication that drives my practice.

Defying gravity in a handstand is about mastering your balance. This split-leg variation, held against the open sky, is a beautiful expression of freedom and control.

The straddle handstand is like a light in my practice; it doesn't feel complete until I do this. It’s a pose that requires both strength and flexibility, creating a beautiful shape.

The pike press is a significant milestone in any handstand journey. This video shows the controlled lift from a forward fold into a handstand, a testament to core strength and compression.

I am always working on new transitions, like this one from handstand to scorpion. It's a challenging flow that requires immense control, but the process of learning is what it's all about.

It was a dream to flow from a handstand into Padma Bakasana (Lotus Crow Pose). I finally got it today, and now the work begins to make it even smoother.

Achieving the transition from handstand to one-leg crow pose requires serious strength and focus. This was a great achievement, and I'm proud of the progress.

Not every attempt is a success. Here I am working on the transition from handstand to Astavakrasana and failing to stick it. But I will try again.

This is my work in progress: transitioning from a handstand to Eka Pada Koundinyasana. I am still mastering the finer details, but dreaming it possible is the first step.
