Handstand

So I can do a headstand pretty readily but I'm having trouble with handstands. I can do it against a wall but without support I can't keep it up; my legs go past 90 degrees and I lose equilibrium.

These videos are giving me inspiration. The first video displays yoga practitioners doing impressive backbends and some handstands as well. The second video focuses exclusively on headstands but are captioned in Czech, Serbo-Croatian, Polish, or some other E. European language (I'm not sure).





In the meantime, I'm going to try and strengthen my shoulders and core.

My ultimate goal is to be able to to slowly and gracefully raise up my legs into a handstand — like in the second video — without kicking up into it.
