In Bali, where the waves meet the wisdom of ancient yoga practices, a new acroyoga revolution is brewing, led by an innovative tool: the Elemental Handstand Blocks, especially the sloped variant, designed for h2h (hand-to-hand) training. This tool has become a cornerstone for acroyogis looking to push their boundaries while ensuring safety and alignment.
I've personally fallen in love with the sloped version of these handstand blocks. The wrist support they provide is unparalleled, making them an indispensable aid in my acroyoga journey. In a practice where wrists bear the brunt of our ambitions, finding a way to protect them isn't just smart; it's essential. The Elemental Handstand Blocks do just that and more.
Wrist injuries are an all-too-common tale among acroyogis. Often, they're the result of a combination of factors: poor training habits, a lack of attention to proper form and alignment, and the underuse of supportive gear like wrist wraps and handstand blocks. Moreover, the eagerness to advance often leads practitioners to overtrain, neglecting the crucial aspects of restoration and recovery.
Enter the Elemental Handstand Blocks, a beacon of hope and progress. Their design is not only about facilitating advanced moves but also about encouraging a safe practice. The sloped variant, my personal favorite, is a testament to thoughtful design, offering wrist support that's a rarity in the world of acroyoga gear.
Starting with push-ups on these blocks, I noticed an immediate difference in the pressure on my wrists—it was significantly reduced. As I moved to arm balances and eventually to handstands, the blocks proved their worth at every step. They didn't just make the practices safer; they made them more accessible.
For those eyeing the zenith of acroyoga practice, hand-to-hand training, the sloped Elemental Handstand Blocks are a godsend. They prepare your grip, enhance your control, and ensure that your ascent into advanced techniques is rooted in safety and mindfulness.
Mastering the blocks means not just expanding your h2h technique but transforming your practice from the ground up. It's about building a solid foundation where your body and mind are ready to take on the challenges of acroyoga, all the while knowing you're supported in every sense of the word.
