Didn't read all the posts. . .but I'm a yoga instructor. . .bla, bla, bla. . .

1)Place your palms on the floor with your fingertips touching the wall. Bring your elbows to the floor. This is the distance you should be from the wall--where you should place your palms.

2) Place your palms firmly on the floor where your elbows were. Take a downward dog position, spread your fingers a little so the your middle finger is straight forward. Check to see that your hands are shoulder distance apart so that your weight will be supported by your bones.

3) from the down dog position, rotate your triceps toward the floor. You'll notice your shoulder blades moving together and toward your pelvis.

4) Lengthen your spine and breath freely. Let the blood move into your head. This will lower your center of gravity. Lengthen from your firmly pressed palms, through your arms and spine.

5) Now walk your feet in toward your hands a bit. Quiet your mind, and only envision yourself in the handstand. Let the chatter go.

6) some recomment to push off of one leg. this is easier at first. But I prefer pushing with both legs, so that I can catch my balance in the middle of the floor easily.

7) Pushing with both legs (if you choose), take an in-breath on your way up. THis will give you a stiffer and longer spine with a deeper lumbar curve. Keeping this lumbar curve is key.

catch yourself on the wall. . .
