1. Builds Serious Shoulder & Upper Back Strength
2. Core Power & Balance
• Deeply activates deep core muscles — transverse abdominis, obliques, pelvic floor
• Improves balance and body awareness
3. Opens the Heart & Chest
• Great for releasing tension in the chest and front shoulders
• Counteracts the effects of slouching / desk posture
• Prepares you for deeper backbends
4. Boosts Circulation & Lymphatic Flow
• Being inverted helps improve blood return to the heart
• Gently stimulates the lymphatic system, supporting detox
5. Mental Benefits
• Demands focus, breath control, and patience
• Teaches you to stay calm while upside-down, which builds mental resilience
• Overcoming the fear of falling builds confidence — physically and emotionally
6. Wrist-Friendly Alternative to Handstand
• Since it’s on the forearms, not wrists, it’s often more accessible for people with sensitive wrists
• Still gives all the inversion and strength benefits
