CLE Handstands.

Several years ago I committed to a fun handstand project on Instagram called #365daysofhandstands

My intention was to have fun everyday and investigate, explore and promote local CLE businesses, organizations, iconic locations and people! Each day I found a local CLE spot that I loved and threw down a handstand right there and asked some unsuspecting stranger to capture it on my iPhone! I got out and found new places to explore and discovered businesses and their owners and met so many interesting people!

It was a challenge each day to find someplace new and figure out a way to kick up to handstand right there in the middle of it. It gave me a chance to promote local businesses as well as highlight some of CLE’s best spots. There was an uplifting frivolity about the project that I loved. If you are interested, the year is still chronicled on my Instagram @tammyatinnerblissyoga.

I’m a believer in handstands. There is something pretty magical about getting your hands on the ground and your feet in the air. There is something therapeutic about getting your head below your heart and turning things on purpose, upside down.

The benefits of practicing handstand are compelling… build core strength, improve balance, strengthen upper body, mood booster, improves circulation, breathing, and bones. I even read one study that indicates due to the increased blood flow to the head, handstands can help with hair health.

In reflecting on how much fun this project was, I decided to try a new version of it this year! #CLEhandstands2022 and invite you and everyone to join me! Simply get out and explore CLE, kick up to a handstand, capture it and post it with the #CLEhandstands2022 and tag me so I can share it!

I am not committing to every day this time around, just when I feel moved to get my feet in the air!

I hope you will join me in the FUN! Remember, you can always use a wall! PLEASE be safe!

Big love,
Tammy
