Handstand is an action that every yoga practitioner wants to conquer. It can not only exercise the balance ability of the body, test the physical and psychological limits, but also effectively promote the blood circulation of the brain, strengthen the memory, eliminate fatigue and relax the body and mind, which is a great challenge for girls.
However, most girls can't keep their balance when practicing handstand, and even some girls give up after trying many times. The inverted three-dimensional pose needs the core strength of the arms and abdomen, and the instability of handstand is the core weakness that leads to poor balance, mainly because they don't focus on the center of gravity and stress points when practicing handstand.
Today, I will take you to experience the next three inverted poses, from simplicity to change, and fully feel the charm of handstand respectively!
1, handstand
Handstand, a classic handstand yoga pose, allows practitioners to bend their elbows to the ground, touch the ground with their heads down, and straighten their legs perpendicular to the ground, which can effectively stretch the spine and back areas, promote blood circulation in the brain, enhance memory, eliminate fatigue, release pressure and relax.

Practitioners kneel on the ground, legs together, legs close to the ground, elbows bent on the chest, body bent forward, hands on the ground, head touching the ground, center of gravity on arms and waist, legs extended upward, hips tightened, knees off the ground, legs extended backward and upward until straight. Adjust your posture, keep your spine straight, and stick to this action for 30 seconds.
2. Inverted variant
A variant of handstand, one of the variants of handstand three-dimensional pose. Practitioners start from the inverted three-dimensional pose, with their hands close to their sides, stretching to support the ground, their heads off the ground, their necks raised, their hips slightly sunken, their spine bent back, their knees bent, their legs opened to both sides, and their hips and abdomen retracted as much as possible.
