The v chopper isn't a good beginner option for inverting. Using a controlled sweeping of the leg is a good way to start. Here's an old video I made talking about controlled momentum...more

I completely understand how frustrating that must be, both the limitations and the continued unexplained pain. I feel like at this age (43), I go from injury to injury too. But no way I am giving up...more

It took me a year and a half to do a straddle invert, I NEVER thought I'd get it. And I practice hard four days a week. I started with no upper body strength . . so I guess I'm proud I can do it no...more

So, I’ve done both silks and hammock at a studio but have silks, pole and hoop at home. I want to hang my silk hammock between 3 studs (permanent vaulted ceiling mount for pole between) ...So...more

My previous pole was on carpet and it is limiting. For base work (grounded pole flow): If you dance barefoot, you will need socks. If you wear heels, they will not slide and you will feel unstable. I...more

To get rigidity at 15' feet the pole needs to be dual lined i.e. have a second pole/rod inside the original. Usually the combination of the two poles gives an overall wall thicknees of 5mm +/-. and is...more

I'm pretty sure when I called them about 9-10 months ago when I moved to a place with 17' ceilings they said they could do up to 12' but after that it had to be a permanent mount--though I wouldn't...more

Thanks so much, lovely! Some of my favorites (in no particular order) are: Gemini Bomb/pike hip hold Butterfly Extended Butterfly Iguana (just got very comfortable with lowering into it -...more

I guess even iron x, ayesha etc are classed as 2 POC moves... ? As you have 2 hands on so one POC on each... I guess a true 1 POC move would be a one hand spin with no other part of you touching the...more

Thanks for all this great advice! I admit that I’m guilty of just repeating the invert obsessively, rather than doing specific conditioning exercises. I’ll definitely work on those tucks,...more

I'm always shocked at how "psychological" pole is. When I first started learning to invert I used to psyche myself up for it so much, and then I was up there for, like, 2 seconds before I had to come...more

Woohoo! Thank you! I'm going to give this one a shot. I always get busy and have trouble finishing challenges but I really want to participate! I'm going to try and do as much of this as possible on...more
