A doorway or a wall gives you safe feedback while your shoulders and core get strong enough to hold the line alone. #### What is on this page Handstands at the wall and in a door frame, forearm stands and scorpion style variations, headstands with lotus legs and leg variations, crow pose, lifts on blocks, and some aerial silk practice. #### How inversions are usually learned Handstands and headstands are usually learned in stages: shoulder and core strength first, then wall drills, then time away from the wall. My own videos show drills like walking up the wall into a handstand and rolling back down. Blocks help with arm balances like crow. #### Is it for beginners? Inversions are something you grow into. If you are new, start with the foundations, and the upside down work can follow when your body is ready. ## About Rishu Yoga is where I rise, invert and feel alive. Most of these shapes are practised against a plain wall at home.
