Lolasana & Press into Tuck Handstand

We are back to learning how to press into handstand, instead of kicking up. The great thing about pressing up is that it gives you a lot more control (so you are less likely to fall out). But the challenging thing is to build the core and hip flexor strength, increase wrist extension, and engage arm and shoulder muscles to hold your entire body weight off the floor. Lolasana or Pendant Pose is a great drill to help you feel the engagement necessary for a Tuck Press Handstand. Pssst: Pressing into tuck handstand is my favorite way to get upside down!
