How to do it

1. Get into a handstand position with your hands on the floor or on mini parallettes, elbows locked, shoulders elevated, and body aligned with a slight posterior pelvic tilt.
2. Shift your weight toward the supporting hand until your shoulder, hip, and feet are stacked over that side.
3. The free hand moves to a cup position, supporting only with the fingertips to help you control balance.
4. From there, lift that hand briefly to hold a one arm handstand, then place it back in the cup position in a controlled manner.
5. Finish each rep by regaining stability before the next one.
6. Avoid twisting or collapsing the supporting shoulder.
