We got into it from brass monkey -- hook foot of free leg and sit part-way up, lean down into a split grip, and switch out the feet.

Looks like The Poisson/Russian Fish? Is lovely :)

Thanks, Tropicalpole. Hadn't ever heard of those! But it looks like these are done with hips behind the pole? Not sure if that would make this a variation of that, or something different.
You're right I am wrong it's not a Poisson. I have seen it though, maybe it was called Firebird? Will try and look to check.
No not firebird either. Sorry, don't know name but it's very pretty

Not sure either but it is pretty. You can always give it a name and make it ur signature move.

Nice! I was wondering because I am in that same exact pose in my Facebook profile since 2012 except I am only holding on with one hand. I get into mine from twisted grip then turning my body until my back is facing the pole then hooking my top leg. I like to do a low spin in that pose too. You can spin in static mode or spin mode.

I don't know the name but I think this is the same move? I enter into it from a cartwheel mount.
I love them both! Those are beautiful poses.

Thanks, all. And yes, Veena -- this does look like the same pose in your photo -- minus your crazy flexibility! :-)
In Bristol we called it the monkey fish! Because you enter it from a brass "monkey" and then work it into a poisson/fish looking thing, hence monkey fish hehe xx

Monkey fish hehe clever! 🐵🐠
lisakm ·
Yes, monkey fish is a good one! I like that. Will go with that!
veena, how do you get into that from the cartwheel? (I assume you mean split grip)
Veena ·
From a split grip cartwheel mount....I've been doing it that way for a long time...this video has it around min 2:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEd-dofBLTA&list=UUup79MtZnWP_SCAHeVlmzdQ
