@shaktishambhala: ⬇️ Stop kicking. Start lifting — here’s how to build your press. 🤭 If you’re still kicking into a handstand, it’s time to level up! 📚 These 4 exercises will help you build the strength, engagement, & control you need for your press. Go slow -focus on form rather than height or getting a (sloppy) handstand. You should have no pain. Stop if you do. 1. Malasana Press: Start in a deep squat, feet slightly turned out, heels grounded or lifted. Place hands firmly on the floor, shoulder-width apart. Shift weight forward into the hands, finding hollow body position. Engage the core and lift onto the tiptoes. Hover only if you have the strength & control to do so. Keep the shoulders active & only float if you feel strong & stable. 2. Pike Float-Tap Drill: From forward fold with hands on ground, shoulder-width apart. Shift weight slightly forward onto hands. Engage core & hollow belly. Depending on your ability, float feet (this may be more hop-like at first) towards hands. Then compress back to starting position. It's okay if you can't touch your forearms yet—focus on controlled compression & float. 3. 7-Up Compression Prep: From forward fold, place hands shoulder-width apart on the floor. Rise onto tiptoes & shift your weight slightly forward into your hands. Keep one leg low & bend the opposite knee into your chest and compress tightly — you’re mimicking the handstand entry position with one leg tucked. Hold briefly, then return with control. Switch sides.Think of stacking your hips over your hands — even if your feet stay down. Keep control—no jumping. It’s about compression and balance. Stay active through your shoulders to protect your wrists. 4. Double-Leg Tuck Press Prep: Same start as #3. But this time, engage your core and bend both knees tightly into your chest, staying compact. Hold the tuck shape briefly, then lower back down with control. Repeat with slow, intentional movement. Keep shoulders active. Focus on control - not height. Avoid jumping - lean then lift from your core. Once your strength & stability improve, attempt to come up higher into a handstand. *Always check with your healthcare provider before starting any exercise program, to ensure it’s appropriate for you, your body, and your unique situation.
