The method
How Ben teaches a handstand
The wall first
Hands close to the wall, toe taps only, until it feels familiar.
The way down next
Learn to roll and cartwheel out before you chase a balance.
Shoulders, not crunches
Ben's view: the shoulders hold a handstand. Push the floor away.

In Ben’s words
Ben Lowrey started learning handstands in 2013, came to hand balancing through yoga and began teaching at the end of 2015.
“The wall is definitely your friend.”
“I don't want you to be in any urgency to get up and balance. That will come.”
“If you walk through the door ... you already have enough core strength for a handstand.”
