How to perform it

  1. Begin by placing a sturdy chair against a wall for stability. Position yourself in front of the chair, with your back facing it.

  3. Slowly lower your head towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping your body straight and your core engaged.
  4. Push through your hands to extend your arms and return to the starting handstand position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
