Handstand
I’ve been working on handstand for a bit of late but I can’t stop my self from falling backwards( like the side I kick up from) abd I don’t know how to balance that out for th times I don’t kick high enough or put too much pressure and force my self back on accident. How could I fix this

You’re likely not kicking up far enough and are too loose. How I personally got over it was thinking about how I need to initially “kick up,” but then halfway up, tighten my core and glutes to “ease” into the motion. To be able to do this, you should practice hollow body holds, leg raises on your bottom (like what you do to learn the L-sit), and frogstand/crow pose to learn balancing with your fingers. Keeping your scapula protruding and elbows not flared is also vital, and I’d recommend working on resistance band exercises and scapular pushups to strengthen your shoulders and upper-chest.
Dull Shoulder Pain
I’ve been practicing my press-to-handstand from the crow pose and have been making good progress, but recently I’ve been feeling this tingling, numbing pain above and behind my left shoulder. Could it be from overstretching instead? Recommendations on what to do next and how long to rest for?
