Upper body strength

​35 minute dynamic practice aimed to strengthen the upper body - prepare the shoulders for handstand preparation and handstand kick-up against the wall. 


This is NOT a beginner practice. It will also not have a whole lot of vinyasas in it - I invite you to create strength more through static holds, in that way both strengthening and stretching the shoulders. I do give options, as always, so that you can safely work your way up towards more demanding poses. 
It has been a while since I have posted something more dynamic - my own practice ha slowed down a lot and therefore my focus has shifted in my teachings as well. But here it is anyhow - something a bit more challenging perhaps.
There is not a whole lot of warm-up to this practice, so you might want to go through a few Sun Salutations before you start on your own or follow my
Sun Salute clip  
At the end of the clip we will be moving our mats against the wall for handstand preparation, so you might want to pick a suitable wall for that before you start.  
This clip was filmed during my annual spring retreat lovely Diano Green in Liguria, Italy.
