thAnkh you for class today ! see ya next week -lol !
You're welcome! xoxo
This workout was hard, meaning I was exhausted from it. Also fun. Learning to do the Gemini was a lot of fun. I couldn’t get into the invert crucifix but in time I’ll get it. There’s too much going on in my head at the same time when I’m learning something new. Here’s what I did: https://t.snapchat.com/mNt2iKZA I can do the handstand invert crucifix but it’s been a while since I’ve done it. I got to the invert crucifix but couldn’t hold it. By the time I got to it I was too exhausted ? And for some reason when I do the handstand I always push against the top of the foot and I get a bruise. I need to stop that bad habit. I’m going to watch reverse elbow handstand and practice several times to get better. Here’s a link of today’s attempt https://t.snapchat.com/nOnOMuuK I didn’t bother doing the other exits but I did watch how you do them. I noticed my balance is getting a little better with the invert lift. Woo hoo ??
That no invert gemini is a really tough way to get into anything, as mentioned it's not my preferred method of getting into an invert...or anything lol The reverse handstand is common to use the foot too much at first. Try wearing a sock on that foot because it will make it less grippy so you'll have to start to rely on the shin instead, which is what you want. You're doing great. This is a hard class for someone who's at your level :)
Thanks for your idea with the sock…I’ll definitely do that. Thanks for the encouragement too.

The gemini thing was a fun challenge! I could feel myself freaking out while figuring out the hands. I had to psych myself up to hang from the hand/knee but I really enjoyed giving it a go. I will definitely be sliding down in future as an exit from inverts. It's more intimidating than it seems being upside down lol. Great class as usual, it's such a great retreat from my day x
I find the no invert entry to Gemini feels the most cumbersome. ?
Loved this class ?? The no invert Gemini loved it both sides twice ?yes and sliding down, now the handstand crucifix first time yes I did it second time , stories came in about falling ? so I panicked got to get over this , Loved the class sooo much an the squeeze is working perfectly xxx ????
Great work! You’ve got this. If you have time, write down the fears you had, then see if they’re true as in facts or if it’s a story you can reframe. If it’s a story write down a positive version. If it’s fact, write down steps you can take to overcome it.
Ok I will definitely give this a go thank you xx ??
