Start with a clear, flat space and a non-slip surface
Wear supportive clothing and go barefoot or in grippy shoes
Practice warm-ups: shoulder circles, wrist stretches, and light jumping
Stand with feet together and arms overhead
Look at a spot on the floor in front of you
Bend slightly at the knees and swing your arms down and forward
Push off strongly with your lead foot
Place your hands on the floor shoulder-width apart, fingers spread
Kick one leg up toward the ceiling while your hands support your weight
Bring the other leg up to meet the first so both legs are in the air
Keep your body straight and toes pointed as you pass through the inverted position
Land with your hands off the floor and your feet together or in a controlled stride
Absorb impact with bent knees and stand tall with arms up
Practice near a wall or with a spotter for safety
Repeat several times, focusing on smooth, controlled hand placement and a strong kick-off
