Hi, right now all spins are shown on static pole. Timing, finding out when to push off and when to swing the leg is important for static spins. Sparrow had some great tips……also remember, not every move will come quickly and what seem crazy difficult to one person, might seem simple to another. Don't get frustrated with yourself. You don't have to be able to do every single move in order to move on in the lessons. As far as inverts go, If you can do a reverse handstand and an elbowstand you'll be able to work on some inverted moves without needing to invert!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Watch and listen at 4: 38 ish https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cc97c20-7e0c-47ee-8303-49360ac37250 I talk about directing the hips slightly to one side, this changes your balance. You can see I can then bring the pole into my shoulder. Take a look at how in the Basic butterfly my shoulder/chest area is touching the pole, but my butt is sticking out like I'm doing a squat.

AdministratorFebruary 29, 2012 at 9:30 am in reply to: elbow/forearm grip butterfly lower arm?Ok, so go back to the cat lesson and watch where I place the pole along my upper body as I cat up. It's not right in front of the body, you need to move over slightly. https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cc97c20-7e0c-47ee-8303-49360ac37250 Because you're so flat against the pole with the torso, It will be hard to remove the leg, you can't pull with the back leg, if your so close. It will feel like you're trying to hold the whole body up with just your arms and straight up and down at that!
You don't have to caterpiller up very high, but you do need to get away from the pole so the upper body can properly engage.

AdministratorFebruary 29, 2012 at 9:06 am in reply to: elbow/forearm grip butterfly lower arm?I suggest you learn to caterpillar before you butterfly. When you caterpillar are you using BOTH arms and your legs too? The pull from the legs play a very big role in the cat. Do you have the lessons? I ask so I can refer you back to certain points…..

You have a resource for stretching and splits right here as well. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifI suggest working on the individual stretching lessons first, to learn proper technique, then move on to the routines. Train no more than 3 times a week. Unless you've been stretching regularly for years. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/
