Point exercises?
I would like to improve my foot point, because currently it doesn't look as good as I see on some performers, and I also tend to forget about it mid-trick and break it. Any stretches, exercises and tips are very welcome!

i found by accident that sitting on my feet with my heels on really stretched my ankles in a good archy foot point way. (does that make any sense?) i learned one where you have your knees on a foam block, you're basically kneeling on a foam block, sit down and kinda lean back. hard to get a visual, i'm hella camera shy or i'd make you a vid of what i'm talking about.
alethea austin has a great foot stretch in her 'stretching for pole' dvd if you access to that.
good luck!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

​and foam rolling for the shins https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4efb921c-4fc4-47d3-9760-60b10ac37250 if these muscles are tight pointing the foot will be difficult. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

@GingerJen, I'm camera shy as well so I know where you're coming from. But I think I saw something just like you describe in a Yoga exercise video, so I got my visuals 🙂 thanks for the suggestion.
@Veena, thanks for the detailed list of lessons. I still don't have a subscription, so I'll be bookmarking this for future reference!
