What is Handstand?

Adho Mukha Vrikshasana is a hand-supported inversion. Entry methods vary and require upper-body strength, balance, space, and a reliable way to exit.

How should the posture be approached?

Learn preparation and spotting from a qualified teacher. This page intentionally does not explain how to kick up.

  • Do not practice alone or near hard furniture, walls, or glass.
  • Do not place uncontrolled weight on the head or neck.
  • Stop for wrist, shoulder, or back pain, dizziness, or visual symptoms.
  • Use a teacher-approved non-inverted preparation instead if unsure.

What is a lower-demand alternative?

Practice a wall-supported standing posture or a knees-down Plank variation with both feet grounded.

Common question: Can I learn Handstand by kicking at a wall?

Not from text alone. Kicking up without instruction and supervision carries avoidable fall risk.
