I've needed this advice for years. Always been too afraid of breaking my neck to try a handstand. Maybe now I can finally break through the anxiety.

[@gmbfit]

Glad to hear it helped. Being nervous about training the handstand is a huge barrier and why we always start off with overcoming that.

Why not just start against a wall? I think the biggest fear people have is toppling over backwards and landing very hard, not having their arms foldup and landing on their heads.

[@gmbfit]

You should. But you still need to know how to control a fall. Having taught many, many thousands of people to do handstands, I can assure you that almost nobody lands on their backs :)

@@gmbfit You've got some great tips in the video, however lots of fears aren't reality based. When a newbie starts tipping backwards they definitely experience fear and if they possess 'deer in the headlights' reflexes they just might land on their back. ;)

@@TheWayofKen Thanks for the advice. Again, my recommendations are based on what has actually worked for a great many real clients. It's not hypothetical.
