Hey :) So I answered a similar question recently, so, if you don't mind, I'm going to copy and paste with a little bit of editing. If I were you, I'd start with a press headstand to get the very basic motion down. It takes very little strength but will help you to understand the leg motion, at least. Do that once or twice. Press handstands take a lot more upper body strength and have different mechanics than a press headstand, so keep building up your arm and ab muscles by doing V-ups, push-ups, plank holds, etc. Basically what you want to do in the press handstand is lean your shoulders forward, slowly putting all your weight onto your hands as you lift your feet. It is similar to a cast handstand in that way - if you don't lean your shoulders, you won't have the balance you need to complete the move. When you're first learning your press handstand I would recommend using a wall to help you out a little (when you lean your shoulders forward, press your upper back against a wall for extra support. Your hands should be placed down about a foot away from the wall before you begin). Good luck :)
One undemanding thank you to get the feel for them is to place your palms approximately 4 to twelve inches from and lean forward until eventually returned touches the wall ( verify your head is tucked in ) then straddle and press up. this might help get the sensation for the flow besides as enhance shoulder potential so at some point you're able to do it with out the wall.
