hand balancing
Inverted body control
Hand balancing is a form of acrobatics in which a performer supports their body weight on their hands, maintaining controlled positions ranging from basic handstands to complex one-armed poses and transitions.
It requires exceptional strength, flexibility, and proprioception.
Hand balancing appears in circus arts, gymnastics, and yoga traditions: She practices hand balancing for an hour every morning.
