Ask Toronto yoga teacher Donna Wilding what her favorite yoga pose is and she will answer with Handstand. For Donna Handstand, Adho Mukha Vrksasana, “offers new challenges and rediscovery every time it’s practiced“.
Kick Up To Handstand With A Bolster
Donna hosts various inversion and handstand workshops in Toronto and the GTA where she shares the tip that has helped so many newbies kick up. Place a Rectangular Bolster against the wall before you rise up in to handstand!
Many of the students in Donna’s workshops feel more comfortable and have more confidence with a bolster between them and the wall when practicing their handstand.
