HW: Arm Balance Series
Pose: Handstand Hops
A good way to work on getting used to activating the muscles you need for a handstand or arm balance pose is to do the following excercise: Press into a forward bend and place your palms flat on the mat in front of you. Keep your legs as straight as you can as well and start by rocking forward on the hands, shifting the weight to the hands, and then rocking back onto the feet. Make sure you maintain a grip through the fingers and keep strong steady arms. Then, rock all the way onto the hands and put all the way onto the hands, lift the heels and then the whole foot for a second and then come back. Continue this lift and lower and create a hop when you lift forward. Do this up and down your mat. Exhale when you lift and stay strong in the abs.
