Someone asked if there were lessons specifically for transitioning from a handspring into an Ayesha pose, and for preparing to deadlift into one, avoiding a twisted grip. They clarified they were looking for handspring *to* Ayesha specifically.
What the replies say: Replies confirmed there aren't dedicated deadlift lessons, but suggested using cartwheel or handspring lessons as a base. Several members discussed building foundational strength, like a butterfly stretch and inverted D shape, before attempting the full move, and shared a lesson for entering an extended butterfly.
