The Power of Inversions:
In Handstands you're defying gravity! And they bring your hips above your heart and your heart above your head.

Inversions have long been the postures that have terrified people at yoga classes… but they are to be feared no more. Inversions like handstands and forearm stands can be exhilarating and heat building, and they can activate the sympathetic nervous system (i.e. your flight-or-fight response). Although practicing inversions can bring up a lot of fear and anxiety, they can also build confidence.

With ProHandstand, the first & only device worldwide that allows you to achieve your handstand within a few days, you get that feeling right away. The training motivation that comes from this joy is an incredible benefit to staying on track and practicing regularly.

Aside from looking pretty awesome inversions have so many unbelievable benefits to the mind and body that I’m hoping once you’ve read this you’ll be hanging upside down every day.

Some of the many benefits include:

Improves circulation – When you are upside down, you reverse the blood flow in your body and it encourages venous return – the return of blood flow back to the heart.

Increases mental functioning – you’re concentrating and processing how to get your body to stay upside down – it all takes focus – increasing the mental functioning in the brain.
Increase flow of lymph – Inversions in yoga encourage the flow of lymph back to the heart. Your lymphatic system is a key part of your immune system. It’s like a big drainage system in your body, collecting extra lymph from body tissues and helping to fight infection. However, the lymph system relies on movement and pressure to move the lymph fluid.

Improve balance – as it helps to create better body awareness and helps you to learn to sense your body space in a different way.

Builds core strength – When we stand, we can get away with being lazy in our posture. You can’t really do that when you’re upside-down and you have to engage your core in order to stay upright.

Forces you to focus – because it’s really hard not to focus when you’re upside down.

Provides a new perspective – As you hang upside down it helps you to start to see things more clearly, giving you a fresh and new perspective on life.

Over here at ProHandstand we love turning our world upside down and today we want to share five reasons why YOU should join us and do handstands every day:

1. They'll make your upper body super strong
In order to stay upside down for any length of time, you'll need a massive amount of shoulder, arm, and upper back strength.

To build up strength, start by holding a handstand with our device for three sets of 5 to 10 seconds. Work up to holding them for a minute or two at a time. Practice often, and watch as your upper body strength skyrockets.

2. They'll increase your balance
If you've ever tried a handstand, you know that besides needing to be strong to do them, you'll also need to have substantial balancing skills as well in order to be able to hold yourself up. Freestanding handstands, especially, require you to be able to have full control over your muscles and to constantly make small adjustments to avoid falling.

Practicing handstands with our device for as long as possible will help increase your balancing abilities like no other exercise can.

3. They can boost your mood
Not only will handstands make you strong and help improve your balancing abilities, handstands may also make you feel happier, since the blood flow to your brain has an energizing and calming effect, especially when you're feeling really stressed out.
Another way handstands can help your mood is by reducing the production of the stress hormone, cortisol, which can not only de-stress you in the short-term but could also help relieve feelings of sadness and anxiety.

4. They build core strength
There's no need to spend hours focusing just on your abs—you can have fun doing handstands and build core strength as well.
Since staying upside down forces you to stabilize your muscles, you're constantly working your abs, as well as other key muscle groups such as your hip flexors, hamstrings, inner thigh muscles, obliques and lower back while in a handstand. Training handstands every day will get you a well balanced, super strong core.

5. They help with bone health, circulation and breathing
Since handstands are technically a weight-bearing exercise, they can help strengthen your bones, making you less prone to osteoporosis. Handstands are also beneficial for your spine, and help aid bone health in your shoulders, arms and wrists.
Not only that, the upside-down nature of a handstand can increase circulation to your upper body, while relieving pressure on your feet and legs and stretching your diaphragm at the same time, which in turn can increase blood flow to your lungs.
Bottom line
Start building handstands into your daily routine, even if it's just a few a day. You'll not only be benefiting your health; you'll have a blast while doing it.

Pike Press & ProHandstand™

By using your forearms, you have the perfect support structure to begin building strength in all the relevant key muscles for a Pike Press. Until now, the solution has been to press your head or upper back against a wall. However, by doing this you reduce the training of stabilizing the shoulders. These must be locked to perform this exercise. Even reducing the angle by a few degrees makes it impossible or much more difficult to successfully press into a handstand.

ProHandstand™ is the definitive standard when it comes to arm balances of any kind. Period. Another factor is the fun factor: you enjoy the feeling of a free handstand even though you're using the device, right from the get-go.

prohandstand.com is finally online! Checkout this exciting breakthrough technology and join the elite club of inversion athletes. With this invention your handstand is at your fingertips.

It all started with a traumatic accident that led to a loss of my left hand. As a keen Ashtanga yogi I needed to find a solution to the problem of doing inversions with one hand. The idea was "just" a new yoga block in the beginning, but something much greater was born out of this simple tool. See what I have created and what you will be able to achieve with it!
