When ever we get upside down into a handstand we have 2 goals. 1) we want control so we don’t fall & 2) we want to make our line efficient so the inversion is easy and we don’t get tired fast.

Basically, we want to stay up for as long as possible. When we first learn to handstand it is completely unthinkable that one could ever be fully in control or that this drill could ever become easy but just like with everything: over time, with practice and the right focus your specific coordination for the drill will improve and you soon see handstands in a completely different light!

Where you shoulders are in relation to your hands and hips is ultimately what indicated how much control and how efficient your handstand is.

In an ideal case scenario your shoulders should be right on top of the center of your hands with the hips and feet aligned on top. Your scapula is elevated and your back straight and the hips in a neutral position. Any changes from this ideal position happen in 2 points simultaneously as 1 part of your body always has to counter balance the other. When attempting to regain control and to safe your handstand you will have to move slow without any sudden, drastic corrections. Even if your position is off, as long as you are still standing your handstand balances itself out. All corrections will have to happen at both ends of your handstand simultaneously in order not to break this balance.

Keep in mind that the visual examples here are all rather drastic to show the mistakes properly and for you to understand how they work and what they do to your control. Most of the time all of these misalignments are very small and barely visible.
