New Month, New Movement

Every month, we work on a new movement. Learning to move your body into odd positions, things you're not used to, help give you a better feel for your body and what you can do. For February, we're concentrating on
H A N D S T A N D S.

Handstands help develop better strength in the shoulders and give us a feel for body position, even when upside down. Luckily, we have a good location to practice, with padded floors and free standing posts to allow you to kick up without worrying about hurting yourself too much on the fall.

I surprised myself a little bit by easily getting into a pretty straight head stand on the first try. Of course, the next move in the progression will be a Frog-Stand (for balance) and some kick-ups (for strength and balance).
