Handstands Online

Hello Natalie, the "Thoracic spine mobility" video really helps! I'm doing this now almost every day. And things are improving! (Slowly, but that's very much ok.) I actually feel like I have some "structure" in my upper back know. Which is so liberating, as it all felt like a sol...
