#Journey2Handstand - Day 18 - Handstand Tuck Kickups

1/18/2016

1 Comment

 
Welcome to the 3rd week of this challenge!  Today we start working specifically on Handstands!  Yay!  Today we are doing kickups.  The first thing I must specify is to practice this on a fairly soft surface (yoga mat, carpet, grass, etc.) and EXPECT to fall over.  When it comes to learning how to handstand, you need to be not only okay with falling over, crashing down, but you need to prepare for it.  The more comfortable you are with failing, the faster you will improve.  If you are hesitant, cautious, concerned, worried - that will only impede growth.  We all fall - no one is immune. 
Now that you are feeling humble and ready to fall down, let's try kickups!
1. Start in Down Dog.
​2. Send your weight into your hands, keep your back flat, bend your knees and lift your heels.
3. Take a deep inhale, and with your exhale push your toes into the mat, and slowly kick up into the air and bring your feet closer to your hands.
4. Plant your hands, push into the ground, bend your knees and slowly push up into the air - keeping your legs tucked.
5. Bring your bottom up over your hands, stack your shoulders over your hands, and then slowly come back down to the ground.
6.  Repeat as many times as you can.
7.  Slowly stand up and take a deep inhale and bring your hands overhead.  Exhale and bring your hands back down.

Wonderful.  Now do that three times today! Let me know how it goes, take a video, a photo, or just describe your journey with me! :)

     About the Blogger

    Haley is passionate about Raw Food and how God has used it to heal her. She loves to share what she knows with anyone who is curious, and finds herself talking to everyone around her about her lifestyle. 

    God comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.  For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us. (2 Corinthians 3-7)

    This Scripture applies to every area of  life that Haley is passionate about. In order to be grateful, confidant, and assured of anything in your life...it must be tested and proved. That testing is never easy and rarely pleasant...but it IS purposeful. She now can take the comfort that God has given her and share it with you. Amen!
