Elevated Headstand Push-Up

Begin in a handstand on a slightly elevated surface with proper body alignment.
Bending at your elbows, lower your head to the floor, touching it down just in front of your hands.
Be sure your head is all the way on the ground before pressing back up to handstand.
Maintain a steady speed and proper posterior pelvic tilt as you repeat for reps.
Your goal is to gradually increase the depth of the elevated headstand push-up by increasing the height of your hands as your strength allows.
