Handstand progression with a wall

[First stage; keep your knees bent and touch your toes. Second stage: stretch one leg up straight. Third stage: loosen your toe touching the wall a bit. Fourth stage: loosen it even more until you almost don’t need to depend on it. Fifth stage: lift your toe away from the wall. Sixth stage: stretch the other leg. Give some weeks per stage and get comfortable holding for twenty seconds before advancing to the next.]

The more my practice is an own connection with body, the less I need to take classes or achieve a standard. In this sense I may never need to take another movement class. My progress can be personal and infinite, adapted to my context.

Capoeira movements as drawing the form of their body through your movements. Maximize awareness of your self with surroundings. Maximize control (!) of your gestures.
