It may be a surprise to some that the common household ‘triangle posture’ has surprisingly so much in common with how to lift up slowly into a handstand, starting by leaning into the palms with your elbows straight, your shoulders over your fingers, with your heels raised and your toe tips initially on the floor.

* Push the sitting bones down
* Move the top of the hips backward to lengthen your lower back 
* Move your lower front ribs inwards and lengthen the upper back
* Inhale into the abdomen
