Technique

How to perform Ring Shoulderstand

1. Set the rings with space for your practiced entry, vertical leg position and controlled exit.
2. Begin in stable support, then bend your elbows and bring your knees toward your chest as your hips rise.
3. Lean into the shoulderstand so the shoulders and upper arms are supported at the rings and straps, keeping the elbows bent.
4. Bring your hips above your shoulders, then extend your legs upward into a controlled vertical line.
5. Hold that supported position with the rings steady and without loading your head or neck.
6. Tuck the legs and reverse your practiced entry to return to support before placing your feet down.
