I've been trying to get into this pose for quite some time but couldn't really get the hang of it. I finally managed to do it with your excellent instruction! Thank you, Cathy!
Out of all the instructional videos on "how to do a L-Pose, yours is the best! And although it might be out of my reach at the moment, your video taught me a few technique to make it less challenging and to keep practicing. Namaste ❤
Will be trying this. I can get not exactly this 90 degree but perhaps 100 or 120. So Will try harder. Really want to finally get to the hand stand. Thank you so much for wonderful crystal clear instructions.
If this is the gateway to handstand, I'm stuck! I've been working on this about 4 times per week for 16 months, but I've made no perceptible progress. I can't get my wrists, shoulders, and hips aligned, even when standing upright. And I certainly can't bend 90 degrees at the waist with straight legs. Your downward facing dog at 3:18 makes my jaw drop. I've been working calves, hamstrings, and shoulders with active and passive stretching plus foam rolling (ouch!), but again, no perceptible progress in more than a year. Any suggestions for those of us who are not, and may never be, flexible?
sounds like you need someone to spot you? It's tough for me to know without seeing you. Are you on IG? You can DM me a home video of what you're doing and I can give you tips. @cathymadeoyoga

Great tips. This has greatly helped me understand how to stabilize in this posture. Still working towards handstand.

anatomically correct , we’ll described, illustrated & cued
Thanks
Love it when yoga teachers explain alignment and what we’re aiming for
Great! Thanks to this video, I've done L-pose at first try!
It forces me to be so more aligned than whenever i am handstanding, that Infeel immediatelynthe rhomboids activated so hard. Underrated exercice.

thank u Cathy for all the useful tips....
Brilliant explanation. Helped me realize I need to work a tad bit more on upper body strength. This will be great to come back to on a weekly basis
Your video is super helpful! Thank you 🙏🏼❤
Thanks Cathy for getting me into this pose. Namaste
Yay! So glad it helped
Amazing tutorial. Thanks so much as I've done many L shaped handstands, but is always great to re-educate oneself. 🙏
Indeed! Thanks for watching🫶🏽🙌🏼
Thank you so much 🙏 God bless you 🙏😘🤗

I call that pike handstand. Happy to make a how to video on that if you like. In yoga we call this L-Pose at the wall. Many thanks for stopping by.
