In this video I address how the staggered stance or split stance in your legs can help you with fin balance while learning how to do a handstand.
In this video I address the RING ROW from an extended body position, which naturally tends to lead into a kipping motion.

You have fantastic balance. I was watching your hands while you balanced and almost no movement there. Respect.

[@annyceday]

This movement is just what I have been looking for, this should be fun to apply. Feeling stable handstand walking, wanting to find balance and control. Perfect addition to wall holds. This should help in finding balance when pressing up from the floor.

OMG! You have given me the best advice over the past 3 years thank you sooo much

[@lifewithdelilah4917]

Thank you so much for ur Advice!

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

So helpful. Thanks

[@DDD033]

This looks like fun!!! I'm totally trying these out later

[@johnrobholmes]

Fantastic tips! I need to remember to keep it slow moving. Just joined crossfit and my younger days of breakdancing gave me a little head start on skills. But always trying to "hit the beat" put a fast tempo on my handstand movements. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast, fast is easy. Thanks for the vids, they are quite helpful.

Nice class teacher you also can speak in that posotion, awesome sensei Paoli

[@andrewbarnes8475]

Nice tips. I know a very good gymnast who always goes into her handstand like this but I've always gone for straight up. Going to be giving it a try tonight.

Been struggling to hold my freestanding handstand for more than a couple seconds. This is quite possibly exactly what I needed... Thanks Carl

[@iamcarlpaoli]

Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

[@lhoffmom]

Wow , so stable. Nice

[@iamcarlpaoli]

Thank you. A lifetime of practice.

[@gilmoredixon6527]

when I push up all the way I always hold it for like five seconds then I can't prevent my self from falling frontwards

[@giannadickinsonlife8044]

Wow I am going to go try that and I hope I can hold and walk in my handstand by the end of the day! Happy Superbowl!

[@iamcarlpaoli]

[@PohhKnight]

Carl Paoli my handstands and shoulder mobility is terrible but working on it and using your book and videos it's been super helpful so getting there slowly. Thanks again, you are super direct and it's so refreshing please keep up the content!

[@iamcarlpaoli]

Josh Vilensky that's great to hear. Keep working on it daily...it gets better

[@pahyl]

good idea, i will try it today... :D

[@iamcarlpaoli]

good luck

[@giuseppe386]

hey Carl very informative and cool video!! I've a question for you: While you do an handstand do you suggest looking to the ground for balance? I dont care that much about a gymnastic perfect line handstand, I just want to balance on my hands and hold it.

[@iamcarlpaoli]

Look at the ground. Try keeping your ears in line with your shoulders

[@gavinstrelitz1558]

Thanks mate, good advice. I am guessing you had a classic gymnastic background?

[@iamcarlpaoli]

Yes, I grew up doing artistic gymnastics in Spain

[@gavinstrelitz1558]

It's amazing how the high level gymnastic basics sets you up for future sporting/movement practices. Good channel, you always add value.

[@The-Absolute]

Hey Carl, as always great instructions...l have got few questions for you..I want to learn and perfect free handstand so i want to know
1. Can we do the handstand any time of the day Or we must not do it after having any meal for atleast 2-3 hrs as it involves inversion ?
2. If we want to practice multiple times in a day then what about warmup, should we do warmup of wrist and shoulders each time before attempting Handstand. or we can do it straightaway? Please advise.

[@iamcarlpaoli]

1. handstand whenever you want and however feels comfortable and you can maximize your practice.
2. The more you handstand the less "warm up" required.

[@The-Absolute]

thanks for the reply Carl.....i got it...
