How To

Place your hands on the floor, and kick one leg then the other.

One leg goes forward, extending over your head, and the other comes back down towards the ground.

Keep your hips over your shoulders and your legs split. This helps a lot for understanding the balance (counterbalance).

Tips

Use momentum

Once you're in the split position, use momentum to help you lift your legs up into the handstand. Swing your legs back and forth a few times to build momentum, then lift them up into the handstand position.

Work on your split flexibility

Flexibility is key for achieving a split handstand. Practice stretching your hamstrings, hip flexors, and inner thighs regularly, and incorporate split stretches into your routine.

Engage your legs

To maintain balance in the split position, focus on engaging your legs.
