In a kneeling position, the head and bent arms are supported on the floor; a triangle is formed on the floor with the head and both hands. The larger the area of the triangle (i.e. the further apart the corners are), the greater the stability. This basic position is also the starting position for getting into the headstand. Now lift your knees off the floor and stretch your legs so that they are only resting on the tips of your toes (the position roughly corresponds to the letter "V"). Then lift one leg at a time off the floor and bend it (lower legs/soles of the feet pointing upwards, thighs pointing diagonally downwards); now the body is supported only by the head and hands (maintain balance). From this position, the legs are pushed out together at an angle backwards and upwards, while at the same time the arms are stretched, finally landing in the push-up position (high support, face/gaze downwards).
Attention:
When landing in the high support position (push-up position), consciously tense your torso so that you assume the position immediately (without sagging beforehand).
Lighten:
Lift and bend only one leg off the floor, the other leg remains stretched out on the floor (tiptoe position), making it easier to keep your balance. From this position, push yourself into a high support position.
Harden:
Additional weight (on the feet if necessary)
