Each level comprises detailed directions that teachers, therapists, and parents can understand.
Why is full extension necessary?
Full body extension is significant because, in our culture, we sit often.
They say, "Sitting is the new smoking."
The Handstand Flip encourages hip extension with arms in full extension and palms facing the ceiling.
The variations facilitate
Controlled breathing
Bilateral integration skills
