Base: holds his thumb parallel to his other fingers, with his arms positioned vertically. Flyer: keeps her body straight and vertical, with her arms fully extended.
In three videos, the shoulder stand starts from the “bird” pose, while in the fourth video, it begins from the ground..
VIDEOS
In this video, it starts from bird. The base bends his legs and lowers the flyer until her shoulders make contact. Once the base has a firm grip on the flyer’s shoulders, the base extends his legs to help the flyer achieve a vertical position.
Shoulderstand Tutorial Video – THE TEAM
The shoulderstand position originates from the bird pose. Watch in the video how the base transitions the flyer from a horizontal position to a vertical one with an extended leg.
This is a tutorial video with many subtitles, worth watching several times. The base tilts the flyer here as well, with dynamic, continuous movement.
