Want a Straighter Line in Your Inversions? Try this!

Want a straighter line in your handstands and headstands? This short session is designed to complement your in-studio practice by focusing on the "invisible" work: lower body engagement. We’ll learn how to move away from a "floppy" lower back by mastering deep core tension and a specific "drawing up" sensation through the pelvic floor and transverse abdominis. This video is intentionally kept short so you can use it as a powerful primer before practicing your favourite inversions. Equipment Needed: Yoga Mat A Bench (a couch, chair, or wall also works!) What to Expect: A progressive series of drills that move from the floor to the wall. We start with feedback-based drills on your back to feel exactly when your core "pops" or lets go, then translate that awareness into an active inversion at the wall. Key Highlights: [00:00:00] Intro: Why the lower back "flops" when we go upside down. [00:01:21] Heels-on-bench drill for immediate core feedback. [00:02:41] Understanding the "drawing up" sensation vs. "pushing out." [00:05:05] Hollow body progression: Testing your limit with leg lowers. [00:06:54] Wall Drill: Using core tension to float the feet off the wall. Practice with us: Join a class at Yoga Strong: [   / @yogastrongsg   ] Found this helpful?
