Hi, i have a question about my handstand.

Sometime i can hold it for 10-15seconds, but most of the time, my back arch and i fall in a backbend. When i fall this way, theres nothing i can do... i try to squeeze my abs, press hard with my finger, but it doesnt change anything. i dont think its a weakness in my core cause i can do exercises like dragon flag and L-Sit. can someone explain me wath the problem is? is there something i need to squeeze or an exercise/mobility i need to work on? Thx!

Hi Katherine,

Most likely you moved on too quickly from earlier progressions in the course. The early progressions will help you to build the strength and balance needed to do a freestanding handstand. I recommend starting back at PE1 and submitting frequent form checks as you advance through the course.
