Headstand Movement – Swimming

Continuing to work with movement in headstand. This breaststroke/frog swimming motion tests the core as you focus on maintaining a steady body as you increase the range of movement in your legs.

Filmed in Godmanchester, July 2018.


Headstand Movement – Cycling

Beginning to work with movement in headstand. Cycling in the air is always a good one to begin with as it is effectively a continual repeated switching of stag legs. Note the different foot positions – pointed, flexed, and alternating – for added coordination focus.

Filmed in Godmanchester, July 2018.


Headstands by River

Cycling through a selection of different leg variations – stag, twist, straight, diamond, bolt, bow and arrow – in bound headstand. Run at 1.5x speed.

Filmed in May 2018 in Huntingdon.


Handstands Winter 2017-18 Compilation

Variety of handstand holds filmed in Winter 2017-2018.


Lotus Headstand

Haven’t been able to get my legs independently into lotus for over a year but finally made headway with this half-lotus entry into headstand and making the final – most difficult – move into full lotus without assistance.

Gains filmed in July 2017.


Headstand Flow

With bound hands, this flow incorporated a pike press to headstand, into hollowback/backbend, tuck, alternating legs, scorpion headstand and controlled tuck back down.


 

One Armed Handstand (Supported)

One armed handstand work against a wall. Needs a lot of work still to strengthen further, and due to osteopenia and osteoarthritis on the right I’ll never get the same on the opposite side, but this is one move I’m loving working on!
