How to Do a Handstand
Rachel leads you through this intermediate practice where you will move to a peak pose of handstand, working step by step through the stages you need to do to practice this playful inversion safely. Note: You will need a wall to do the practice.
This can either be done as a stand-alone class or as Day 3 of Rachel's 7-Day Inversion Challenge.

To be honest, I thought this series might be too rudimentary, but I was wrong! I am gaining precision and confidence in poses that I love, as well as learning new tricks to make inversions safer. Thank you Rachel!
Rachel cues the entrance into headstand/inversions precisely and in great detail. This is such a wonderful way to learn a new pose and to learn how to journey through yoga in a safe and mindful way. I agree with Rachel that the rush is like espresso coffee.
As always, Rachel is wonderful at teaching, guiding and cueing.
Thanks for this great class Rachel, love the way you guide us to the poses. This session was good on the shoulder and neck opening. Loved it.
Rachel, thank you so much for this series. Phenomenal and NEW core work...that one where you're pressing against the knee on one side and extending the arm and leg of the other side is killer. Didn't manage to kick all the way up, but I felt like everything was approached so thoroughly that with another month or so of practice it seems like it would be totally achievable! I'm definitely noticing muscles working in my wrists and shoulders and hands that I doubt have ever been awake before. Thank you thank you!
