In this brief instructional video, the instructor guides beginners through a wall‑assisted handstand. The key points include: spreading the fingertips wide and pressing down through the hands because they now bear the body’s weight; positioning the wall behind you and walking the hands forward to find a comfortable distance; placing the feet on the wall and optionally lifting one leg at a time with control; rising slowly to avoid dizziness; and choosing a gaze either toward the wall or down at the thumbs. The segment ends with a call‑to‑action to follow for more beginner yoga tips.

The most important thing to remember when you get upside down is that now your hands are doing the work of your feet. So make sure that you spread your fingertips wide and really press down through the hands. Come with the wall behind you. Bring your hands onto the ground. Spread your fingertips wide. And then walk as far forward as you need to. You might need to come pretty far from the wall. You can always walk closer. Bring your feet onto the wall. Once you get on the wall, you can play with just bringing one leg up at a time. And then with control, bring it back down. Slowly coming up so you don't pass out. With your gaze in your handstand, you can either look back at the wall or look down at your thumbs. Either way works. Light up the follow button for more beginner yoga tips.
