forearm stand
Upside-down elbow pose
A forearm stand is a yoga or gymnastics pose in which you balance your body upside down, supported on your forearms with elbows bent and hands flat on the ground.
The legs extend upward, either together or in a split.
It's considered an intermediate inversion, easier than a full handstand but requiring significant core and shoulder strength: I'm working toward a forearm stand but can only hold it against the wall.
