Hi, I 've recently started to improve my "banana handstand" hehe; I'm practicing against the wall right now.

Is there enough posterior pelvic tilt? Are my shoulders opened enough? Any corrections are appreciated  :)

Strange scapulae position, take another photo chest to wall.

Now I'm protracting and elevating, how does it look now?

Not visible modifications, please take a photo facing the wall and see how close you can move your hands to wall

Second pic looks much better IMO!

 

Have you tried looking at the floor? Takes more shoulder mobility to maintain alignment but much easier to balance.

I to have gotten used to looking at the horizon when in HS, and now this seems easier to me, just a habit I suppose, although it's probably not correct by Coach's standards.
