How To
Begin in a wide legged forward fold. Ground your palms underneath your shoulders, keeping your arms straight.
Keep your legs strong by extending them outwards rather than attempting to sweep the legs in a circular upward motion.
When you start with this variation, it is best to go from a straight handstand and move out slowly because the slight change in hip position will make it harder to just kick up into.
Tips
Tip 1
Hips go forward, belly tucked in, while you open up your shoulders at the same time.
Tip 2
Point the toes and lock the legs out the entire time as you drive them outward.
