Forearm Stand Beginner’s Tip

The most common mistake when learning how to move into this pose is to let the elbows come out to the sides. When this happens you lose the strong frame of the upper body and the chest will collapse, straining the neck and making it very hard to balance. A great way to learn how to keep the elbows in and find more support is to use a strap! The strap needs to be tight enough to keep your elbows shoulder width.
