Quads/Hip Flexors & Funky Handstand

We are starting to get into some funky stuff...in fact, I call today's handstand variation "Funky Handstand"! But I think the rest of the yoga world knows it as "Stag Handstand." Before you start sweating, I want you to know that it looks harder to do than it is. The center of gravity is lower when the knees are bent (that's why holding a tuck handstand often happens more easily than a straight vertical line handstand). Before we get upside down, I offer a drill to set the quads on fire! It's a great way to increase quadricep strength, and much harder to do than it appears. So bottom line: today's drill is tougher than it looks, today's handstand is not as tough. It all evens out!
