Description
Handstand (Adho Mukha Vrksasana, downward facing tree) is a full arm balance that builds great upper body and core strength. The shoulders, triceps, and forearms work to support the body’s weight, and the core (especially the abdominal and back muscles) engages to prevent arching or collapsing in the lower back. The legs and glutes remain active, reaching upward, which helps stabilize the pose and maintain a straight alignment while upside down.
