How to do a pike handstand - The Art of Handbalancing

[@tepaguilar2019]

I didn't know you have a pike press tutorial! So glad I found this. Btw, I'm 10 months into my handstand journey and can now kickup into a freestanding handstand and hold it for about 20-30 secs! Your tutorial videos were extremely helpful! Thanks to you! I remember just watching them back in May, processing all the information and trying to apply it during practice---and failing, falling and struggling countless times. But I kept at it and never quit. Hah I'm now gonna try and learn press to handstand. Thanks Natalie

Hello, thank you for your lovely comment and that sounds really great! struggling countless times is an important part of the handstand journey :) you progressed a lot congratulations!

You didn't mention the third option - shoulders closed with a forward lean. This one requires a lot of strength, but it's a realistic option for people who don't have the back, shoulder or hamstring flexibility to do the positions you've shown.

[@NatalieReckert]

Yes! :) I hope it is helpful. Also check my three ways of backbending video if you want to learn more about the 7 shape.

Hallo Natalie, ich bin Tatjana . Es hat nicht geklappt mit deinem Workshop, dafür hast du viele neue super-super tolle videos! Ich danke dir ganz herzlich und arbeite alle durch. Und hoffe mit deiner Hilfe mich zu verbessern. Ich muss glaube ich noch meine Handgelenke stärken, da auf Ellenbogen etwas zu machen ist mir leichter. Ganz liebe Grüße

Das freut mich zu lesen, vielen Dank! Vielleicht nächstes Mal beim Workshop.

Can you show a more detailed techniques how you get into press up 7? “Lift” as you mentioned towards the end of the video.. thanks!!

[@NatalieReckert]

Hiya, thank you for the suggestion. I will soon publish a Vimeo library with more advanced videos that will cover stuff like the pike press.

[@karfeelye9942]

Natalie Reckert thank you. Can’t wait. Your video are always so helpful

[@theamazingofhumanbody3847]

do we have to engage our butt too while we r doin pike hs? or tuck hs?

[@NatalieReckert]

Mhh, I dont think that it is essential, focus more on what your upper body is doing and on finding the correct position.

Love you so much. I'm trying for handstand. Thanks a lot

[@NatalieReckert]

@@NatalieReckert I only hold 10 second and only kick up to handstand, maybe my shoulder is not good, however I still practice every day. Because I really love handstand, it was so much fun. I can do press armstand,. Straddle armstand, hollow back armstand..... So handstand is so bad.
