[quote=inneravenue;13989]I was just going to say master the headstand first at it will allow the core muscles to develop for your handstand. I believe if you have the arm and shoulder strength it is more or less developing core strength!
Om,
Absolutely agree here and would follow headstand with scorpion before going on as well.

What’s scorpion ?
Scorpion is an armstand.
You get into this from headstand: with your hands down on the floor, bring your forehead to the floor, press up with inhalation, but only if you’re already doing headstand properly. This is a good pose to do with a spotter, holding your feet.
