I think this is like the 6th handstand video I've watched and it's the only one that is actually helping me!!!!! So thank you! + I do circus and I can do a handstand but I'm just trying to hold it longer to I think this will really help!!!!
@@harmonymarie253 I also damaged my spine and rib cage while trying to do handstand a year ago. Now I'm really afraid but starting again after a year ._.
Your charisma and personality complements with your teaching style perfectly! :D You are such a great teacher because the way you explain and transmit your knowledge to us is amazing. Love you!
Thank you Celest, You are telling exactly right about the point what I looked for. First I've learnt it in yoga way and recently I learnt the gymnastic way. I was confused and asked one yoga teacher but could't get clear answer. Thank you so much!
OMG!! I am amazed!! I have been stucked trying -and failing- to achive a handstand! I felt your video as an epiphany. I can't wait to arrive home and try this new version!! Thank you! It was a really nice explanation.
thank you so so much my love! If you ever have a favourite video please share it. It helps me tremendously to grow my channel and i will be very grateful! If you have any requests for future videos let me know x
Very very helpfull I come out of fitness and I naturally was used to the gymnastic version I guess but I thought I had to be wider. This is a great explanation! I'm so excited to keep practicing.
OMG thank you so much mam I don't believe this that I have just learned handstand in less than an hour and all because of you my boxing trainer always used to scold me for not doing that properly
wow these are actually some really good tips!! I have been trying to get into handstand 'the yoga way' for 4 years now, and even though there's a tiny bit of progression I still can't seem to find that balancing point. So, thank you so much for sharing these tips with us! Also, do you offer any online workshops? I have got my 200hr yoga teacher certificate about a little over a year ago and you seem so knowledgeable, so I'd love to learn more from you :-)
Silke I have online classes on Grokker and Yoga Download but no workshops :( Send any questions my way and I'll make a youtube video for you my love. Most of my workshop stuff goes on the channel all for freeeee :)
I would love to meet you for coffee some time! :) I actually come to London quite often since I have to travel through London to meet my boyfriend who lives in Oxford. I usually have a few hours in between arriving in london and my coach to oxford. I'll send you a message through instagram :)
Thanks Celest, tried this after watching and worked by propping up my shoulders after I get my body up the wall. Tried the yoga way and yea.. I kept losing it. I feel more hopeful that I will make it! My goal is do it w/o any wall. Anytime, anywhere.. wish me luck
This is the first time to see your channel. I think this really helped me . I see rybka twins to learn gymnastics but I think you are helping me more than them
I think she did a great job explaining it, between the break down from yoga peeps and gymnastics. It has helped me lots I’ll be good in few more weeks 😀
Emphasizing the shoulders up and activating the legs was helpful for me. Thank you! I'm a month into handstand training. I've held for 18 seconds once but consistently hold 4-8 seconds.
thank you I just found it really helpful words are less for you I tried it first time and I got my handstand , by the way can you do an video on kick over or Areal
Excellent video. Very practical tips with clear explanation. I've been trying to get a handstand for over a year. Against a wall I can hold it for 60+ seconds. Without the wall I can only balance for 2-3 seconds at best. I'll definitely be trying the tips in this video later today. I think my hands have been way too far apart.
Great video. One main area you didn't touch on (because you probably don't even need to think about it yourself) is how important shoulder mobility is to this movement. For your less flexible viewers, like me, we need to start out with learning a good "hollow body" position laying down on the floor, and also standing fully straight up against a wall, and raising our arms straight up above our head against the wall. If you can't do that, you will end up with a banana handstand. Thanks.
Yes, this is such a good point. Thank you for sharing. You will find some of these exercises in my newer handstand videos but it is also super helpful if you already know what works best for you x
really helpful! the whole put your shoulders down thing never made sense to me anyway so i'm happy to hear that i was accidentally doing it right! haha
@@ok-xo6nh control is in the fingers. I've been doing them for 20 yrs, on the beam, bars, & floor walking up stairs, around in circles. Tight bum & everything else will align.
thank you so much it was so helpful . i have a suggestion: design a handstand daily practice challenge ... like holding it for 1 minute or... something you find that is very effective
I cant do hand stand in the middle of the room yet . I practice it against the wall. Some practices such as holding it for one miute every day halps me to build strengh.. i just thougt maybe you can show me some daily practice to help me do it in the middle of the room❤❤❤
Well this video talks about all the techniques you can practice that will make that possible. The kicks, the wall with the push and then putting those together in the middle of the room. It seems like a simple answer but it works! The other thing you can do is ask a friend to help spot you or get an arm balance teacher.
Thank you so much for your help. Infact this video changed the way i practice and is very diffrent from other toturials . I just love you ❤💙💚💛💜💓💔💕💖💗💘💝💞💟
I just followed you on IG😀 great advise and loved your other vids I've seen too❤️❤️❤️ can I ask where your from? I'm very bad with accents so can't figure out if your English American Australian or somewhere else😂😂😘🙏💕✨
Thank you very much, I learned a lot from this today. I never did a handstand really, and the last time I tried was like 10 years ago. Now its time to develop myself and do new things.
no but often people align to the outside of their shoulders and my teacher explained that that is too far apart when you are learning handstand in the beginning. Where the glenoid fossa is is much closer in terms of hand positioning than most people put their arms in yoga :)
Celest Pereira Yoga I appreciate how kind you are to the haters! love all people unconditionally and learn to accept them for their flaws and find improvement within yourself.
ok tomorrow is day one of my mission to do a headstand then to move to a handstand...please wish me luck!! you are my chosen on line teacher as I think my daughter will look like you in the future...she's 12 at the moment aha xx
+Celest Pereira Wow a reply!! Thank you :) Well, since I messaged you, I have pulled a neck muscle, so no practice for ten days now - so sad - but I'm still determined...I did get to do a couple of (very wobbly) headstands so I'm soooooo pleased...just been doing my pilates to strengthen my neck (and everywhere else too aha) xxx
It works! However, all the yogis I have every spoken to insist on pushing the shoulders out for the handstand, never down. Like pushing the ground away from you. I do hope to be able to hold the handstand longer now! xx
I think this is like the 6th handstand video I've watched and it's the only one that is actually helping me!!!!!
So thank you!
+ I do circus and I can do a handstand but I'm just trying to hold it longer to I think this will really help!!!!
It's all in the fingers. The locus of control. Tight bum & you're in alignment.
Video Starts at 2:18
Thx!!
thx
thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
ty
Tysm!
mine worked as soon as i put my hands closer! awesome 👍❤
What!!!??? This is such good news
Amazing
The problem isn't that I can't manage to stand in that position, the issue that I am struggeling with is that I can't cet my legs up
Thanks normal. I think you need to get stronger. Maybe ask someone to help spot you. I wish I could meet you and help you :(
Yeah ! Me too , so i dont do that accurately but i push myself while i am standing so it gives more effort to raise my legs .
do a headstand! I’m working on that too and I noticed headstands help me improve my legs to get up
Me ttoooo!!!
Me too I fall down
I'm just scared of falling & my parents will end up screaming at me if I hurt myself😂🙁
@Michael Jackson I have no strength in my arms, I can barely do a push-up, so I'd probably end up breaking my arms if I tried
@@harmonymarie253 I also damaged my spine and rib cage while trying to do handstand a year ago. Now I'm really afraid but starting again after a year ._.

@@exposericedtea2145 gymnast. My 7 yr old has a perfect handstand & has never had a lesson.
It doesn't take 10 yrs or there would be no gymnasts!!
Your charisma and personality complements with your teaching style perfectly! :D
You are such a great teacher because the way you explain and transmit your knowledge to us is amazing.

Thank you Celest, You are telling exactly right about the point what I looked for.

You’re so honest. Really a yogi . No ego. I will give this tips a try. Because I am so fearful of falling. Thank you for sharing Celeste

Excellent video. Very practical tips with clear explanation. I've been trying to get a handstand for over a year. Against a wall I can hold it for 60+ seconds. Without the wall I can only balance for 2-3 seconds at best. I'll definitely be trying the tips in this video later today. I think my hands have been way too far apart.
Most peoples are my love! Keep up your practice and let me know how you progress :) x
oh I never did before for first time I am doing 😊😊😊😊😊... I hope it will work.
Fingers. That's how to balance.
i absolutely love your videos!!! im new to yoga - just finished my TTC! this is so helpful !!! thank you so much my Yogini

I've been doing them for 20 yrs, on the beam, bars, & floor walking up stairs, around in circles.
Tight bum & everything else will align.
Try to rotate when falling so you land like a cat 😉
This helped me in doing the handstand. Thank you whoever you are because I forgot your name 😂
Hey big C.... really good tips, helpful for my Capoeira, was worried when you were doing a handstand against a window ;D Neil x
Thank you for explaining the difference in the approaches so well.
Thank you so much! I was just wondering if you were supposed to push into the ground or kind of pull up to get you feet off the wall?
Thank you for this video. This helped me so much!
Thank you so much your tutorials really helpful ❤️
Awesome I am so happy x
OK I CAN ONLY DO A HANDSTAND ON A WALL BUT U HELPED ME DO IT WITH OUT A WAL THX THX THX THX SOOO MUCH I JUST CANT STOP THANKING U
Omg I could do a handstand right after this video thank you so much!!

The shoulder push is a very good tip! I'm gonna try it out 😁
Excellent video thanks.
Thankyou so much this really helps me I'm still practicing 😘😘
Thank you you helped me a lot
Since I don't have a yoga mat, would it work if I practice against a wall in my room, and put my mattress in front of me in case I fall forwards?
That should be okay!
Thank you very much. It works😁
Woohooo! Happy it helped x
thank you so much it was so helpful .
i have a suggestion: design a handstand daily practice challenge ... like holding it for 1 minute or... something you find that is very effective
+Mona Darabian Ooo good idea! Wow 1 minute is a long time

I’m too scared that I’m gonna fall

Don’t worry when doing a handstand ur less likely going to hurt yourself if u stretch but if u don’t a split it will hurt
Try doing it against a wall
Thank you very much, I learned a lot from this today. I never did a handstand really, and the last time I tried was like 10 years ago. Now its time to develop myself and do new things.
Yoga NEVER EVER said you had to put your hands so wide apart, it has ALWAYS been shoulders width apart!!
no but often people align to the outside of their shoulders and my teacher explained that that is too far apart when you are learning handstand in the beginning. Where the glenoid fossa is is much closer in terms of hand positioning than most people put their arms in yoga :)
lydia VICENZI I agree with u! Yoga never ever said that..
Awww thank you so much. They are also trying to help me see a different way. Maybe how i explained it wasn't the best :)
Celest Pereira Yoga I appreciate how kind you are to the haters! love all people unconditionally and learn to accept them for their flaws and find improvement within yourself.
