Unbelievable!! This is my challenge for 2025 and I’m off to a great start. Brilliant video Thankyou from a 56 yr old ❤

10 seconds with knees on triceps..never thought I could do that. What fun! Thanks Liv.

Hope you enjoyed this little tutorial! Good luck with your headstand practice! 💪🏼

I first wondered how others do the tripod headstand because it feels very uncomfortable on my head to have so much weight on it. At least in the "normal" headstand, the shoulders take most of the weight. But really stacking the hips over the shoulders actually DOES make the pose easier! I first tried this video a week ago and got up to the egg headstand. Today I managed to move the legs together to the tucked headstand! Thank you so much for your thorough tutorials! The crow pose video was really helpful as well

Ooh, that headstand into crow pose sent my eyebrows to my hairline 😍 very slick! Thanks for the detailed tutorial Liv ❤

[rachelbaird]

I absolutely love this tutorial, I've been doing a bit of practice every day and I am amazed by the progress possible when you have such good instructions to follow!

I'd be really interested in a similar tutorial for a supported headstand 👍

[abma]

This is a great tutorial! I can’t even do an egg headstand, but I will practice a thousand times to do even a 2 sec headstand!

[marianarocha]

Unfortunately I have only seen that one's shouldn't use a pillow at the end of the video haha
I made it though 🙌🏽🙌🏽 best tutorial ever

[skwagwok]

I was able to do an egg headstand on my first try! I find your instructions very helpful. Thanks Liv!

Update: I finally managed to do a tripod stand! Your explanations were very helpful Liv. I observed that my legs feel “light” as I lift them up, so this must mean I am using my core strength. Thanks again Liv!
