How to BALANCE in a HANDSTAND | The Art of Handbalancing

[@malindarayallen]

"Take responsibility for your balance. Fight for your balance." Great advice in handstands and in life.

[@NatalieReckert]

Thank you :) it's about wanting to make it happen I guess. All the best for your life and balance

Most of the time I fall, but sometimes I can balance for a few seconds. What episode of your course would you recommend?

[@NatalieReckert]

Hi, The trial and error is quite an important part in the process of learning a handstand. You can try the couch to handstand course and if that is too easy try the 7week vimeo course. That course really focuses on building and strong base for handstand training, every part of it will probably challenge you and also teach you something new.

@@NatalieReckert Could I just purchase episode 7 since I'm comfortable being away from the wall?

[@NatalieReckert]

@@brandonx19 yes you can do that. Even though they build a bit on each other. You could try 6 and 7. I also do sales sometimes then it is cheaper :)

My balancing is not going perfect it falls in 2 3 sec again it does not remain stiff pls reply for solution

[@NatalieReckert]

Hello Parag, what you describe is very normal when learning a handstand. In the beginning you can only stay up for some seconds and as you fight for more balance every day your seconds in a handstand improves. Also remember that balance is about being strong and soft not about being completely stiff.

Love your channel, if possible, could you make a video about handstand walking (if that makes sense)? Thank you

[@NatalieReckert]

Yes thank you :) Here is an ancient one but should def make a new one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faLWopWfhr2db9E

[@perfectblue8443]

​@@NatalieReckert thank you so much, this is great!! you're an inspiration, thanks to you I also understood and experienced how satisfying it feels to learn and do a handstand, it is so much more than just an exercise or a work out

[@millsxoxo7593]

this really helped me to do handstand... thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@danien8222]

Thank you so much! This is a fantastic explanation of finding balance. Only 4,700 views? More people need to see this!

[@NatalieReckert]

Thank you :) Recommend to friends or people who may like it that is the best way to give the KZbin algorithm some motivation to recommend me more ;)

[@alexebenoit]

Natalie! Thanks again! How many times/week should I train handstand? Do you incorporate mobility training in your week?

[@NatalieReckert]

I think if you practice handstand 4 x a week for 45min-1hour that is a good amount. But have a focussed training session, short breaks. Than add mobility to that, as much as you need as well as some conditioning 2x 20 min a week. The key is to find a training routine that you can sustain for years!

[@alexebenoit]

Danke (:

[@alexebenoit]

@@NatalieReckert in your 7 weeks program, do you talk about that topic? I mean, what exercices to prioritize everyweek, etc.?

[@CWTHenrik]

Nice video. I am trying this fr Singapore.

[@NatalieReckert]

Waving to you from London :)

[@starkindustries8154]

I can only do a handstand against a wall and when I try without the wall I am not able to do it. So I wanted to ask what should I focus on first, the balancing or kicking up to a handstand without the wall?

[@NatalieReckert]

I would say do endurance holds with the wall and also practice the kick up with the wall behind you but not touch it with your feet. This may help you: Kick ups kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZjGg2Bsra-pd9k

[@promimanohar6930]

very interesting

[@karunsoni2762]

I do handstand with help of wall so there is one problem that whenever I kick up my feet it always moves to wall and whenever I try to move my leg to balance Idk why I can't do

[@NatalieReckert]

Have a look at these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZjGg2Bsra-pd9k kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5e5ZaSFZt5napo

Me seeing videos how to do a hand stand it dosent work bruh

[@gracerichards9520]

I’ve been trying to do a handstand for 3 days and I’m really improving

[@greenjake3518]

Natalie hi 👋 Have you heard of Sanchin Kata? It said it helps much to control weight balance. Some people say it's the core, the most important on balancing, 😉 feet/one foot stand balance.

[@NatalieReckert]

Hi Jake, no I have not. I just looked it up :) it seems very interesting! In fact most forms of martial arts emphasise the importance of the core as the point where all movement originates from. It is a very wise insight. Thank you for this.

[@HeriaXYZ]

I agree with you plz make shorter video like this

[@amanicassiem6898]
