Hi everyone,
i’m a relative beginner and have been slowing getting into practicing headstand for a few months. I read some useful discussion here (and in class) about going into a half headstand first by drawing bent knee to chest one after another.
Somehow I got stuck after drawing the first knee in, and the other leg stay glued to the floor. My teacher taught me to lift the buttock up, then tilt to the back to lift the other leg up. This action did lift my second leg but at the same time made me flip backward.
How do you keep the torso up at this point when both legs are hugged into the chest? I was told to use my core but i have no idea which exact part of it I should be using and how to balance the upper body in the inverted position.
Any advice? Thanks a lot.
