How to - Stalder Press
How To Stalder Press. In this short tutorial I show you 6 exercises you can do to work on your stalder press. Before you start working specifically on the stalder press, you should have a decent handstand, a normal handstand press, straddle L-sit and pancake stretch (check my other tutorials regarding these topics). Really focus on pushing your shoulders down to lift your legs up above your elbows. It's a lot easier to press from there. Exercise 4 (the stalder press cheat) helps a lot if you are not yet strong enough to get your legs above your elbows but you still want to get a feeling of pressing from the bottom up. Please make sure to warm up and prepare your wrists, shoulders etc. for these exercises! Let me know what you want to see next.

How to - Straddle Sit
How To Straddle Sit. The Straddle Sit is one of the key elements when working towards the stalder press. In this short tutorial I show some exercises you can do to work on your straddle sit. Flexibility is an important part of it but one thing that's often overlooked is shoulder strength. By strongly depressing and protracting your shoulders you will be able to bring your hips/legs up above your elbows which makes it easier to continue the press into a handstand. Let me know what you want to see next.

Shoulder Strength and Flexibility
In this 20 min video, Michal will discuss the different directions we can move our shoulders, the common issues we encounter when moving into shoulder flexibility, and ways we can strengthen our shoulder girdle so that we can move into end ranges of motion with more ease, stability, and confidence.
Hamstring Stabilization
The hamstring group of muscles can often be challenged by movement practices that involve both deep hip extension or flexion. These exercises emphasize encouraging hamstrings stability in deeper ranges of motion of both forward folds and backbends.

Hands for Handstands
When in a handstand don't overlook your hands. Your hands are the first point of connection, the first point responsible to help you balance.
