You must have a solid Gemini!! Flexibility in the shoulders is helpful to this will allow you to extend the arm over your head fully. Pay close attention to the P.O.C.
Primary muscles used: Shoulders, Latissimus and Hands

StudioVeena - It would be helpful if you could explain what it was you liked better? I changed a number of things.

Maybe i just don't like change LOL. Maybe before it just seemed like we were in the same room giving me a lesson...this just doesn't? lot's of maybes in there haha

descalzada - I LOVE this new show & tell format!!! I can visualize and hear the words in my head at the same time when I'm trying it.
Dying to try this trick as soon as my hand gets better.

StudioVeena - Yes that is exactly what I was going for!!! I know a lot of members like when I talked to them but, I feel this will allow everyone to learned even more quickly. I tried to speak slow enough that you could try it and just listen as well. And the lessons are shorter because I don't blab away LOL then they can be watched multiple times with out feeling too long.

horsecrazy12987 - I think I might actually like this new format better. Seeing what you are doing the whole time while you're narrating in the background is helpful--for instance when you were talking about keeping the one leg in a kind of tuck until you were sure of your positioning before you took the legs out into a v--it was nice to see that done at the same time you were talking. Although I really liked the old lessons, I do think I can definitely come to love this new format. I love that you're continuously trying to improve on them.

georgiamarie - I think this new format has a LOT of benefits. It's very professional looking, and stuff like slow motion and freeze frame while narrating to describe is a great way to impart information. The slower speaking and shorter lesson length are good too. However, I also think the old version had some benefits that this one misses. My preference would be a combination of voice over narration, and some "show and tell" where you speaking to the camera. For example I think it can help to prep the student, by pointing out the P.O.C while you are standin up and before going into the move, or also simply being able to point to something while you say it. Even if you describe is off-screen, some people might not see what you are saying, unless you can highlight it or circle it post-production. Does that make sense?
In other words, I think there will be some cases in which it will be beneficial to talk "live" and others where voice over is better - even within the same lesson. I totally love the improvements in general though :D

StudioVeena - yep that makes total sense and I had thought about placing the poc over the body part so it would show up on that area of the body as I say it.....I would like to avoid the mix of live audio and voice over because it sounds odd. I do agree tho.

glitterhips - I love it! i feel like it makes more sense that youre not talking while doing the move so i can focus more on what youre doing on the pole instead of paying attention to you talking...that prob doesnt make sense but it makes sense in my head haha. and i loved the slow motion, i'm a slow learner so it makes more sense to see it in slow motion as you explain it...i love them!

Jewelwolf - I took me a moment to realize the format was changed, but I think Veena did a great job with it. I think the voice over is clearer, but otherwise I agree with everything georgiamarie stated.

hannahpc - Although i am far from being able to do this move, i just wanted to say i loved the new lesson format. I like the shorter length, and the way you keep repeating the move while your talking, before i used to have to rewind and fast forward alot.

teresawitch - love this move and new format absolutely brilliant. cant wait to try it.

Jill - Great lesson, I was trying this move all wrong, now thanks to the lesson I have a much better understanding and feel more confident! Thanks for all the effort/improvements you put into the lessons! So helpful!

HollySatine - i don't understand where the strength comes from to be able to do this move. the more i try to straighten the outside arm (while keeping my thumb up), the less contact there is between the middle of my palm and the pole, and this causes the bones underneath the webbing between my thumb and pointer to press painfully into the pole. i feel like i can't put weight on the outside arm because it feels so awkward - i don't feel like i can use my muscles in this position even though my shoulders are flexible enough to get into position.

StudioVeena - You have to have good shoulder mobility and stability otherwise this position will be very difficult to hold. A lot of weight is placed on the top hand it should not all be on the overhead bottom hand. The top hand needs to have the pole running along the inside of forearm not the outside, that will make this position more advanced!! Also the overhead hand has to be place far enough over the head, but not so far that you will loose stability in the shoulder. The thumb isn't totally facing up to the ceiling (its still wrapping around the pole) thumb up is the direction I want you to place your hand. Watch the vid and you'll see where my thumb is placed. Your using the palm to push hard into the pole, the fingers are just holding the palm in place for you really, if you wanna think of it that way. :)

PaulettePoles - I feel like the majority of my weight is where I lock my thigh into the side of the pole by my hand and on the inner portion/ back of the same arm. I feel like the hand above my head is more in place for balance and I kinda used it after opening to V to straighten myself. Anyway, that is where I was bruised the next day after repeatedly doing this, unless I have my weight in the worng place? (bruises from weight being the inner thigh of leg next to my arm that stayed locked and the inner / upper arm of the same arm) Let me know if my weight is in the wrong spot! This is where / how I felt really secure!
on Sep 19, 2011 -
StudioVeena - yes, that is where I was saying most of the weight is...not on the arm towards the bottom/floor of the pole but rather the opposite arm, the one that is towards the top/ceiling.

sparrow - I love this move, however I want to be sure I'm doing it right. The bottom arm can't have a completely neutral wrist, can it?
on Nov 11, 2011 -
sparrow - Ok, thank you. I'm learning about neutral/non neutral wrists and it seemed to me that my wrist was in a non neutral pos. when i did this. I'll have to spend more time on it.
on Nov 12, 2011 -
PaulettePoles - I have a question on the bottom hand as well- Some girls are saying to use a gun grip. It does "appear" the wrist is bent and non neutral-thumb up- but is it still "neutral" if it isnt twisted? Just curious- learning grips too and noticed this appears non neutral. Just want to understand!
on Jan 9, 2012 -
StudioVeena - Yep! But you may find that to use the gun grip you'll have to change your top arm position. From pole running along the inside of the arm to outside...it will depend on your level of flexibiliy. I still concider this position show as neutral, just because there is no twisting
on Jan 9, 2012 -
PaulettePoles - Thanks Veena- gonna try that today w the gun grip then and see if it helps to get the bottom arm more extended. :)

gingercake - is there any other way to exit out than the two shown? i'm curious, but afraid to try them myself ... ^^
on Oct 28, 2012 -
StudioVeena - I feel the Gemini, scorpio or inverted crucifix are the safest options.
on Oct 28, 2012 -
gingercake - do you recommend doing this one before trying on the ayisha? i know, it's two different moves, but i think this one may be a bit easier, and helps getting over the fear of letting go of both legs while holding with the arms only (not quite in the case of the rev. inv. v, but it still kind of feels like it)

1 people like thisprettypuff1 - i find that i am sinking when i get into this move. is that a question of arm strength... I can get into it and hold it securely but i notice I'll start sinking down into the arm that's above the head
on Apr 12, 2013 -
StudioVeena - That's pretty common. Make sure that you're bottom hand is placed in the right position with the thumb up and that you've reached far enough over the head. Keeping slight contact with the inside of the inner thigh will help too.

Saphyre - I was just going to post exactly what Storypole17 said. I LOVE this move.
