 Finger flexion, not extension, helps with maintaining the balance in

handstands, and correcting when you go too far forward (overbalancing).


 Finger tip push ups. First do the Inclined version, on a table, if that's too hard,
do it against the wall, rest of the progressions are pretty much the same as
regular push ups progressions
 Think about making yourself as tall as possible by pulling your toes toward the
ceiling.
 start a few inches away from the wall (belly to the wall while in the handstand),
one foot against the wall for balance and the other leg in handstand. Then
slowly pull your foot from the wall to meet the foot that is in handstand. This is
an awesome way to find your balance.

 I would also recommend head in a neutral position, head between your arms.
You'll still be able to look at the ground, but this will help prevent the back
from arching and keeping the belly off the wall.

 think about driving the heels of your hands into the floor and lifting your
fingers off the floor.
 keeping the weight over the middle of your hands puts you in a good position
to rebalance in either direction.
