We’re in week two of Vlog-A-Week, and I’m talking about my handstand-a-day resolution this Wednesday.
It’s very apropos that this was the Striking Truths image that landed in my inbox as I was editing the video:
“Fall seven times, stand up eight” – Japanese Proverb
Not many people know this about me, but I can actually do a reverse handstand. It’s pretty spectacular if I do say so myself…
I have never heard of the bolster idea. Funny how these tips are out there but you can go to all different classes and never hear them!
I am on/off with the idea of handstands. I’m not really confident my upper body strength is there. Mostly when it comes up in class I try to hide. Haha.
How come you’re not talking about overcoming your fear of vlogging?
Seriously, I needed this. I’ve been practicing at a new studio and have yet to try an inversion because I don’t feel like I know the people there well enough to either (a) fall down in front of them or (b) ask for help. I need to get past that!
Ahh I love this message behind your vlog today! AND seeing your face, you are a great vlogger
I too loved that message from striking truths and think it is SO true. the fear of falling – literally or figuratively, WHAT is the worse that can happen, right? You are amazing.
Love this vlog! Love hearing how you’re progressing with your handstands. Inversions and arm balances are so challenging to me because I’m totally freaked out by them! I know that it’s a lot of negative emotions and feelings and fear that gets in my way. I finally feel comfortable in headstand and really love that feeling when I’m in the pose and inverted. Forearm stands and handstands? Not so sure
You are so cute. I love this and your handstand goal.
