This is not the twisted version of the Ballerina. For this trick, the back of the armpit is against the pole and you're bringing the opposite hand to foot while keeping the hips squared. This means the same arm and same leg are gripping the pole. I'll cover different variations and spinning pole as well!
You may find one of the Ballerinas easier than the other, so work on whichever is most comfortable for you at first. If you'd like a week-long plan to follow to improve on your ballerina poses, check out my VIP plan for Ballerina.
Shoulder and upper back stretch
Strengthens: ADDUCTORS / HAMSTRINGS / QUADRICEPS / GLUTES AND ERECTOR SPINAE (THE BACK)

Thank you Veena <3
If you look at the little lesson thumbnails below the main lesson. Those have moves, exercises and stretches you can do to improve this trick. These are not random "you might also like" videos 😁
This one has been a challenge for me! I can get into it, although I am goaling for more flexibility while doing the hold. Can you please give me feedback on how to gain more flexibility to get more comfortable while in this hold? Thank you❤!!
Hey Veena! This is a good one! I know you say not to worry about not being able to grab the back leg, but I'd like to get it since that is the full move. Any tips?
Practice it three times a week and work on the related videos each time you practice as well. Theres no magic tip for this other than practice and time. ? You can also try the flex warm up before working on this pose https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/flexy-warm-up-live-lesson-1320/
