Transition to a Straddle handstand by taking the legs as wide as possible and tilt the hips to create a diagonal and push through the base hand (the one on the block) to elevate the shoulder towards the ear and lift the support hand to the side.
Slowly close your legs back to a straight Handstand and return the support hand to the ground.
Attempt to repeat this process 10 times.
