Inversions, Safely

Forearm stand, headstand and handstand, learned at the wall over months rather than weeks.

This is the most cautious inversion course you will find, and deliberately so. Necks and shoulders get hurt when people kick up before they can hold the shape. Everything is built at the wall, with strength and alignment benchmarks you must clear before the next stage. It also explains who should not invert at all.
