Are Proportions Preventing Me From Pressing Into A Handstand?

🌟 Can your body proportions make press handstand harder? In this episode, David Keil answers Susan’s question about long legs, short torsos, and the real challenges behind pressing into a handstand. 🧘‍♂️ 📚 Introduction: Susan has long legs, long arms, and a short torso — and she’s wondering if her proportions are making a press handstand nearly impossible. David breaks it down and explores whether technique or anatomy is the real culprit. 💡 Video Content: 1. Do proportions matter? Yes — especially when long legs become long lever arms in inversion. 2. The lever arm challenge: Why long legs are harder to control when moving into handstand. 3. Technique over anatomy: Are you truly shifting your weight before you try to lift your feet? 4. What movement are you using? Hamstring tension vs. spinal flexion — and how to tell the difference. 5. Build the pattern: Start with bent knees, feel the tilt of the pelvis, and layer from there. 🙌 Conclusion: It might be your proportions — but it’s probably your technique. Grab onto a piece of the pattern you can do, and build from there. Most people don’t start with straight-leg press handstands anyway. 👍 If this breakdown helped you, give the video a thumbs up, share it, and subscribe for more real talk about yoga anatomy. 🔗 Stay Connected: Got your own question?
