Ring Shoulderstand

Technique

How to perform Ring Shoulderstand

Adjust the rings so they hang just above waist height and press into a solid support hold with arms fully extended, rings turned slightly out, and shoulders depressed.
Engage your core and lean your torso slightly forward as you tuck your knees, lifting your hips until they begin to rise above the rings.
Straighten your legs upward while simultaneously allowing your feet to drift slightly behind you, keeping elbows locked and maintaining active shoulder depression.
Lower your hips toward the rings and rest the top of each ring lightly against the outside of your shoulders, forming a vertical line from shoulders through hips and feet - this is your shoulderstand position.
Hold the shoulderstand, breathing steadily and squeezing your glutes, quads, and core to keep your body rigid while pressing gently through the rings for balance.
To exit, tuck your knees, roll your hips back down under control, and extend your legs to return to a stable support hold before stepping off or lowering to the floor.
