i Have just moved onto doing the forearm stand and can’t seem to get up without falling to my back. Any advice?

HI Nick, can you post a video, please? the common problem is that students tend to kick into the position, on the other side you need to lean on forearm and head and at one point the feet will come off from the floor. this is possible only if the hips move in the opposite direction. from here begins the second error of the students. they tend to lift the legs and extend the hips before moving the hips back into the correct position.
