[@jailajones2469]

This was the perfect video for a beginner like me unlike some others I have seen. Using your mom instead of like an equally fit (to you) model really helps because if your mom can do it, anyone can! She's so funny and you do such a good job of being understanding of the fears of beginners who have never stood on their hands before and patient. So thank you!

[@YOGAthletica]

thank you, Jaila Jones! so glad it hit the right spot for you...and hopefully took out the fear. my mom was a bit of an unwitting victim in this...she came over for my birthday and i'm like, "hey, mom! we're shooting a video!" no prep or anything. luckily she's a really good sport...and model. ;)

[@meccomputer77]

I agree form the future

[@MissWhitneyCouture]

Wow your mom looks incredible for 68!

[@YOGAthletica]

thanks (from her)! :) i hope i get some of those genes!

[@pacipaniagua6497]

shana meyerson m

[@randomthings5383]

68????????????????? but............she looks like 40 :(

[@YOGAthletica]

well, i was 41 at the time, so if she was 40, we'd have a lot of explaining to do. ;)

[@randomthings5383]

shana meyerson this can't be :( xD

[@CarsonCheearsXO]

Your mom looks so young!

[@YOGAthletica]

+Carson Tucker :D

[@mamumimo1602]

i c devil!

[@kimbolton9082]

[@alisonmacleod1]

This is the best handstand tutorial I've had at home or in class. As someone who is scared of handstand this is a great way to practice it. Thank you! (And your mom :) )

[@YOGAthletica]

that is so awesome to hear, alison! thank you for sharing! i always try to make every pose accessible...from the hardest to the easiest. hope you enjoy the entire channel. :D

[@payalsarin3158]

Never managed a hand stand until - I watched this video. Now my daughter and I have been doing the handstands every day. Thank you!!

[@YOGAthletica]

so great to hear, Payal Sarin! and so cool that you are doing this with your daughter...it's a mom and daughter thing! ;) check out my whole handstand playlist for more cool things you can do from here. :) kzbin.info/aero/PLEk7dn2pk4QWlT2x6f6Sxejxc3boJnrvg

[@gopdeep]

wow.. I really admire you mom ... I am 47 years old and its been one year that I have started yoga ..for this pose I was thinking I can never do it because of my age. By seeing this video , I think I should try .. Thank you for sharing this video ...

[@YOGAthletica]

mom and i say go for it! :D

[@shaunmasi2185]

The best instruction I've received on this subject. Most people teach you and don't understand the fear attached to being upside down for the first time. In short, thank you, Shana!

[@YOGAthletica]

you are welcome, Shaun Masi! so glad i could help you to overcome the fear!

[@agent008chico]

Your mom is absolutely beautiful. Mesmerizing.

[@YOGAthletica]

...and single, too! :D

[@claire-uf4yn]

Ok y didn't I find ur channel before.... I'm kinda teaching myself gymnastics cuz my mom won't let me go to real gymnastics so I thought I could teach myself, I'm starting off with stretches and the basics, I watch alot of gymnastics youtube channels and most of them don't give enough steps for a handstand cuz obviously I don't wanna fall on my head but I love ur channel! Thx so much u just earned another sub

[@YOGAthletica]

Risse aj that is so awesome that you are teaching yourself gymnastics! you should be very proud of yourself! keep me posted how things go and let me know if you have any questions. :) and once this video is easy for you, let me know and i can suggest which videos to do next. rock on!

[@claire-uf4yn]

Thanks! I'm stikl teaching myself but my mom just agreed to sign me up for real gymnastics!! I am just so happy! I will still watch these vids though cuz they arw just so helpful

[@YOGAthletica]

Thanks for this! You make it seem so easy! And you and your mom are adorable and inspirational!

[@YOGAthletica]

[@safaamilg702]

[@aaliyahraks]

thanks Shana .... my almost 6 year old wanted to learn how to do handstands .... i could do them when i was young but am 50 this year with spinal damage so couldn't show her, so looked up on youtube and found your tutorial. It was very helpful; she was giggling as she could see her progress. I told her lots of practice now each day until you get stronger and stronger in your arms and tummy (core). Your mum does look amazing! x

[@YOGAthletica]

thanks, annmarie, for sharing! i am so glad to hear that she enjoyed it and is getting stronger. and thanks on behalf of my mom! :D if you are interested, i also have a yoga for kids channel at kzbin.info that she may find even more enjoyable. ;)

[@aaliyahraks]

oh thank you ... i will head over there now x

[@lenoremeyerson6681]

Sweetheart ❤love…I can’t believe I did this about 10 years ago, with your incredible encouragement and belief in me!!! Thank you for ALWAYS BELIEVING IN ME…I wonder if u could do this again! What do you think 😅??? I adore you! Happy belated birthday !!!

[@YOGAthletica]

yesssss! i think we need a sequel! 💯 💯 💯

[@rebeccakathleenmusic]

THANK YOU. I've been practicing yoga for almost 2 years and have never ever gotten as close to a full handstand as I did thanks to this video. You have such a great way of explaining things and I am so grateful to you!

[@YOGAthletica]

that is so great to hear! practice a little every day and it will also get a little easier every day! you are so welcome! over time you will be able to start kicking up and playing with other aspects of handstands...and i have a lot of handstand videos to help. ;)

[@taleoftillie4167]

This helped so much, thank you :) I was honestly about to lose all confidence that I would ever learn a handstand but this helped a bunch! :D

[@YOGAthletica]

awesome! so glad to hear! :D

[@jennifercrouch3126]

Great for core! Thanks! Feel stronger after a few days. I hope to try do this type of thing little, but often! x

[@YOGAthletica]

Jennifer Crouch awesome, jennifer!!! stronger every day! :D

[@taylorjanemaimoun721]

Ever since I saw this video I can't stop doing it I love doing yoga handstands me and my cousin's made a routine with the yoga handstand in it

[@YOGAthletica]

i love that, Taylor Jane Maimoun! want to take your handstands further? i have a whole playlist of handstand videos, beginner to advanced. :D kzbin.info/aero/PLEk7dn2pk4QWlT2x6f6Sxejxc3boJnrvg

[@sophiakean-chong6692]

Great memory of workout with mom n family, for many!!!

[@YOGAthletica]

yes! I love this one! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Kimmy_Kim_]

Wow, your mom is so strong! She looks so young too!

[@YOGAthletica]

She is pretty amazing! ❤️❣️❤️ thanks!

[@andarielscase]

this is such an informative video but in such a fun way! I love it! :) Thankyou so much! :D

[@YOGAthletica]

thanks, andrea! :)

[@PoetDoc8]

You are both so adorable and the energy between you two is palpably congenial and warm. Good instruction too!

[@YOGAthletica]

thank you! 🤗 now you know where I got my adorable-ness from! 😅

[@anneweprin]

I appreciate how you had another person (perfect that Mom was willing and she must already practice yoga -- she was so calm and poised!) demo while you explained and helped her with alignment/position; helpful because the cues you were able to give her are probably things that would normally occur, but might not get included were you to be talking and doing, such as the overarching, or being too close in the initial down-dogs (just naming a couple). Your video was adorable, fun AND gave good instruction. I will definitely practice today! I love the family aspect! Thanks for posting!

[@YOGAthletica]

thanks, anneweprin. it's not that often that i can rope in a willing victim like my mom to help me out on this stuff. :) glad the alignment cues helped!

[@elShowdeJosefa]

Really good tutorial

[@YOGAthletica]

thanks, el Show de Josefa!

[@PhuongNguyen-sv8lo]

Your mom looks really fit and stunning at that age!

[@YOGAthletica]

thanks, phuong...from mom. :D

[@PhuongNguyen-sv8lo]

:D

[@carolynlyons7845]

Wonderful team...Mom is a great inspiration especially since I am now 51 years old started my teaching of Yoga when I was 50 ...she lets me know I can easily have another 17 years of teaching if I keep up my practice ...and you are a very informative, wonderful teacher yourself Shana....Thank You both for your inspiration!

[@YOGAthletica]

17 or more! stay young! :)

[@cassandrazaina]

I just love your humour, and hope that your mum got a date out of that as well as the handstand practice!

[@YOGAthletica]

i wish i got her a date! still hoping someone will heed the call! ;)

[@YOGAthletica]

she's in awesome shape! :D

[@hetalaiya5031]

Ur mom is just awesome

[@YOGAthletica]

i know! thank you! :D

[@francine5207]

It’s my 41st birthday today! I woke up today and decided I want to learn to do a handstand! This is really helpful!! Thank you :)

[@YOGAthletica]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎂 🎁 🎉 How did it go? ❤️🤸🏻‍♂️❤️

[@francine5207]

Not great! I need to build more strength and flexibility. But I can do a head stand and I’m pretty stoked about that! Will that be helpful in achieving my goal of doing a hand stand?

[@YOGAthletica]

@@francine5207 that's great that you can do a headstand! ❤️ it will help to an extent because a lot of the dynamics are the same, but because of the addition of the straight arms in handstand, the two poses are really quite different. 🙏

[@LadyLucienneWedo]

Shana, I am just starting out on my yoga journey and really appreciate your humor and candor in your teaching! Oh if I live in LA I would so be at your classes! You and your mom rock! Thanks for eliminating any potential fears! Keep shining your humorous light!

[@YOGAthletica]

thanks, TQSEP13, for this awesome sweet note! you made my day! i do lessons over skype, too, and have clients all over the world. :) if you're interested. otherwise, stay tuned, there are more youtube vids plus a new full-length class channel on the way!

[@pattheticc]

Your mom looks amazing :O

[@YOGAthletica]

thanks, Pat Thetic! she sure has a lot of fans. ;)

[@AProducerA]

Hey lady, I just discovered your video, going to check out some more. I would love to learn a handstand but I had a pretty back neck injury while I was training martial arts. One guy literally dropped me on my head. Now I cant push myself to do a back or front roll because of that. I am still going to try a handstand and I was wondering if arm strengh plays a biggest role in it(apart from balance of course) Thanks for the video

[@YOGAthletica]

wow! that sounds terrible! see if this walking up the wall handstand is okay on your neck and shoulders and if this is all manageable, i have kick up, press up, fly up, float up, and everything else up videos to follow. in time, hopefully your injury will heal completely. :/

[@marjorieazcune9065]

wow...salute to your mom!!!she is awesome!!!

[@YOGAthletica]

i know! i'll pass your message along! :)

[@tonianita1]

I have done yoga at a beginner level on and off for a couple of years. I have a number of health issues - osteoarthritis being one of them, but I have just (finally) mastered the headstand and am trying for the handstand. I'm 55 years old and thank you for this video. It's great! and you and your mum are an inspiration!😃

[@YOGAthletica]

congratulations on your headstand! i hope this video helps you on your handstand quest! :D

[@polisherci]

your mom is more attractive than me (I'm 24) haha also thumbs up for the birth scene where the roles had changed lol

[@YOGAthletica]

polisherci, she's more attractive than i am, too! :) thanks for the thumbs up. roles are so interchangeable sometimes!

[@karinamurcia391]

shana meyerson your mom looks like 45

[@nakaylabarlow9074]

Thank you so much! But I'm afraid that I will fall because I don't have much arm strength and I'm afraid of being upside down. Any tips?

[@blackflierful]

5 years late, but for others with the same problem, you can start learning the crow first. Then you're not upside down, but still putting all your weight on your arms. This gives you the strength and confidence needed.

[@pujagokul4736]

well shown. Thank you to both of you for all the different ways to build strength and work towards a full handstand.

[@YOGAthletica]

Puja Gokul thank you! I hope it helped! If you check out my Handstand Mania playlist, you can find tutorials for all levels of handstands. 💗

[@robin12379]

I love the way she explains it..

[@YOGAthletica]

Thank you! 🙏

[@nelacebela8490]

90% of the comments Your mom is really beautiful

[@YOGAthletica]

Ina Rey Loki Lovrić she is! And she really is so touched by the comments! 💗💗💗

[@latinvanity]

Wow, this video was so fun and funny to watch! Thanks!! :) Ive been trying to learn how to do a handstand and surprisingly enough Ive been doing the same first pose you showed with both legs up... However, I am going to try to do the others. You made the pose where your leg and head touch look sooo easy, but when your mom did it, it looked more realistic for a beginner haha (which would be me trembling like she did haha) and I really enjoyed the last pose, your mom is a good sport! Thanks for sharing :-) I am going to go try them now... hihihi

[@YOGAthletica]

thanks, latinvanity! mom is pretty realistic...and fun. i'm lucky to have her and i'm so glad that her video has helped so many people! :) enjoy the rest of the stuff!

[@latinvanity]

shana meyerson Thank you for sharing!! I did the poses and they were a bit difficult to do! So I'll continue practicing them. Thanks again for the time into making this video:) we all really appreciate it.xoxo

[@YOGAthletica]

the best part about the video, latinvanity is that you don't have to be able to do it all the first time around. :) gives you something to work on for a while. ;) and when that while is over, let me know...i'll show you what comes next! :D

[@stephaniephan152]

it is ok it took me a month to learn how to do a perfect handstand

[@latinvanity]

Thank you so much for your support shana meyerson and stephanie 123 ! I will continue practicing and let you know when I can go further! Thanks again!! Much success to you both as well! xoxo

[@jayroo999]

This video was very helpful. I've watched plenty of other videos from this but they were for flexible people ion gymnastics or something. this was a big help

[@YOGAthletica]

Jeremiah Nelson so glad to hear! just trying to make it all accessible. glad it helped! :D

[@lilianatavera4999]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I’m barely learning to do a handstand, today will be my first time, but I was trying to find some videos to see how it’s done and this one by far has been the most helpful, thank you!!! 💓😊

[@YOGAthletica]

❤️ so glad to hear! so glad it helped! and i hope it was fun! 🤸🏻‍♀️

[@YOGAthletica]

ItzzKatlynx years old, but still relevant. 🙏❤️

[@CosmicAccident]

Me! Maybe time for a follow up with more exercises ? I am excited to try these ones but also still feeling pretty unhopeful that I'll ever be able to handstand - have been trying so long but generally people's tutorials assume far too much strength.

[@kenhickmott5482]

Thank you you'v really helped me

[@sinirab.6528]

I love your videos! You are a lovely person! Gonna try that tomorrow. I never did a handstand cause I'm so afraid of falling. Love how u make it look so easy

[@YOGAthletica]

Pascale Signer, thanks! :D as to the handstands, fear is your biggest obstacle. get over that and everything is possible! if you are afraid of falling, start with the first one with the leg low to catch you (just in case) until you are totally comfortable moving on. and have fun. :)

[@amandamilo3454]

I started yoga a month ago and I just came across this. Definitely subbing and I'm gonna practice these every day.

[@YOGAthletica]

itz Sheena awesome! 😀

[@beth9015]

Hi, Shana! Thanks a lot for the instructions and advices! How do you know you are ready to try it? I mean, how do you know your arms and lower back are ready for this? I tried in the past and always fell... pretty painful.

[@YOGAthletica]

hi beth9015, my suggestion is to take this step-by-step. maybe at first you only do the first exercise. then when that comes easily, you try the next one, and so on. you don't have to do all of them at once. remember that yoga should never hurt. so, always be mindful if you feel any pain. always come down before you fall down. for example, in the very first exercise, the bottom foot lifts just enough that you can easily come back down if it's too hard. do what works...and what doesn't hurt. :)

[@beth9015]

shana meyerson Thanks a lot for you kind and quick response, Shana!

[@lamiyaabbasli770]

[@Salvador_is_my_king___..]

This video is helpful I haven't used the wall for a handstand since elementary school and i forgot how to hold my body up and support myself up and I also forgot that you can't walk up the wall with your feet you have to put your leg up hold then put the other one up so I will definitely be trying this out tomorrow I have confidence it will work

[@YOGAthletica]

I am so happy that my mom gave you the confidence to restart your handstand journey! ❤️ thank you for sharing and I would love to hear how it goes. 🙏🤸🏻‍♂️

[@nakimabeck3599]

My daughter wants to start gymnastics and she just watched this video and is practicing like a soldier, lol. Thanks and I love the dynamic with you and your mom, she is more fit than I am and I'm in my early 30's lol.

[@YOGAthletica]

Happy ME don't lift your leg more than an inch or two off the wall and you won't fall backwards. you can also get someone to spot you if you are afraid. ☺

[@four-cteen6534]

I will start my practice today. I had bikram many years ago. Thank you for this video, your mom is amazing.

[@YOGAthletica]

awesome! i hope this gives you confidence on your hands. :) my mom is amazing! :D

[@amandaciceroni4554]

This helped SO much. Thank you!

[@YOGAthletica]

Amanda Ciceroni oh, awesome! here's what comes next, if you want to kick up. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGGopqquiNCBgK8

[@YOGAthletica]

@nakayla barlow, youtube won't let let me respond to you or tag you. :/ anyway, start with the first one, as your foot is only a little bit off the floor and can easily catch you if feel like you will fall. and if arm strength is a big worry, maybe even start just with downward facing dog...and do that until you can hold it for 30 seconds or more. handstand on the wall has very similar dynamics to downward facing dog... then, take this video step by step. you don't have to do the whole thing at once...just do the first handstand until it's easy...then when you are ready (in a day, a week, a month, whatever), try the second one, etc. build up to this and you will find yourself stronger and less scared. :)

[@VVRAGHAVAN]

Hi, I'm from India, In how many days I can do this???

[@YOGAthletica]

Raghavan Vadlamani it's really a matter of how strong and comfortable you are with the practice. my mom hadn't done this in her life ever and she just popped up and did it. other people may have to take it one step at a time...first doing the first handstand for a few days or even weeks or how ever long until that is comfortable..and then moving up to the next handstand, etc. and after this, there is a whole world of more, cool handstands to play with! :)

[@92jenne]

shana meyerson tfh kg

[@aquafinner1505]

I DID IT FINALLY but now i need to know how to keep standing :/

[@YOGAthletica]

you mean keep standing on the wall or in the middle of the room...?

[@aquafinner1505]

in the middle of the room the wall is still pretty hard for me.

[@YOGAthletica]

first master this stuff in the video about walking up the wall. then, next is yoga handstand kick-ups to the wall - shana meyerson YOGAthletica. after that, yoga handstand in the middle of the room instruction - shana meyerson yogathletica. :) but master one before moving on to the next. it doesn't help to rush this process...

[@aquafinner1505]

oo ty ill try that.

[@buzzingtalk]

Wow good work! I'm going to stat working on this, mainly to build stregnth in my arms and wrists but also to start getting comfortable being upside down but without being terrified of falling.

[@YOGAthletica]

awesome, buzzingtalk! every time you conquer a fear, you have one less fear in your life to worry about! ;)

[@YOGAthletica]

***** i'm flattered! thanks! :) hope it's a huge (and fun) success for you!

[@30andlearningvlog93]

Thanks for this! It's always encouraging to see complete beginners doing beginner stuff vs pros trying to mimic it- more relatable, like how your mom was so shaky just like I am 🙂 that's why I started my own KZbin series where I'm documenting my process and progressions. Will definitely add some of these to the mix. Again, thanks, and you and your mom are adorable 🙏

[@YOGAthletica]

thanks! enjoy the journey!

[@n.i.5778]

Thanks for keeping this video posted, this is helpful for people like me (scared of a bad fall) , and it’s very inspiring

I am so glad that it helps 🫶 thanks for your note 🤸🏻‍♂️

[@jrex2521]

I've actually never commented on a KZbin video before :S but I've been trying to learn to do a handstand by putting my feet up against the wall and not making any progress. I watched your video and figured out what I was doing wrong (mainly not keeping my toosh high). Tried it again and it's much easier! I'll be doing it sans wall in no time :) Thanks!

[@YOGAthletica]

thank you for this awesome first comment! i'm honored to be the recipient. ;) keep me posted on your progress and feel free to posted video responses!
