We were shown how to invert maybe in my second month of lessons. Every time I tried I got my toes to the pole, then about the fifth go I bashed my ribs and possibly cracked them. I spent the next two months not even being able to try inverts as it hurt my ribs too much. All the people in my class carried them on and learned a few poses while all I could do was learn to climb. It got me down at first but I soon realised I was fab at climbing and could do all this other stuff that the others couldn’t, then last week out of the blue I realised I had built up the strength i lacked in the first place ( why I got injured), and low and behold I felt comfortable and brave enough to invert. Guess what…. I did it straight off, with a few poses, and best of all I could even do it on my other side. So don’t get down about it, listen to your body, try some other stuff, work on some strength and it will come, then you will be even more proud of yourself cos you really earned it!!
