How do you do an elbow stand?

Answer 1

To do a elbow stand, go into a downward dog position. ( hands on the floor, feet on the floor, and your body should make a triangle) Move from your hands to your elbows. You can have your forearm pointing straight forward, and hand on top of the other, making a triangle. Slowly walk your feet forward. Lift one leg, and make sure that you hips are squared. With the leg up in the air, kick/push off the ground with the other foot. If your a beginner, try doing this about a foot away from a wall, so you don't go over. Once you get the hand of it and can balance, you can play with your legs, and try different things, such as splits, or stags. Have fun!

Answer 2

To do an elbow stand, begin in a kneeling position with your forearms on the ground. Lift your knees off the ground and straighten your legs overhead. Engage your core muscles to keep your balance and hold the position. Practice against a wall for support until you feel comfortable holding the elbow stand on your own.
