Comment on Fear of Kicking Up to a Wall Handstand by Sonja Marina Smith-Novak

In reply to Ea Ancher. Yeah, that's super common as well! I'm not sure if you've seen my video on getting comfortable facing the wall. If not, check it out here! Generally, when it comes to chest-to-wall handstands, there are two possibilities: either you lack physical strength to hold yourself upsidedown, which is making it scary. Or you might be strong enough, but lack the specific awareness needed for a handstand. I'd love to welcome you in our handstand beginner class at nook to help you!

For me it’s totally the opposite – I can kick up to the wall without any fear but the drill ou showed here scares the living shit out of me. Just looking at it makes my hands sweaty! That’s how I feel about every kind of chest to wall drill :-/

Hi Soundschi,

Thanks for a really helpful video. I would love to see the video that you mentioned on the entry to a handstand. Keeping straight legs on the kick up to a regular handstand and not moving the shoulders forward on the tuck jump entry are two major struggles for me.

Oh my God, this is the best tutorial on pancake split I have ever encountered. This method works immediately for me! I was able to go from not being able to bend forward at all to my elbows on floor! Thanks so much!
