Handstand: Two Variations on Getting Up

This is a video in which I demonstrate two variations on how to get up into handstand. The first variation is kicking up with one leg. Often when people kick up with one leg they try to get the foot over the hands. If instead you focus on getting the hips over the hands it causes the feet to follow and you get up there much more easily and you start getting your balance much more quickly as a result. The second variation that I show is coming up with both legs at the same time. With this one also, if you focus on getting the hips over the shoulders then you can start working on those subtle balance adjustments that get you the rest of the way up with a sense of control.
