As far as spotting goes, I really haven’t thought about it. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif Its very important that you have a great amount of control when you SM then you can work on the flip SLOWLY. My first SMF I was squatting and working on it from way down low. Stay tucked in a ball when you start. Also, I didn’t began working on the Shoulder flip until I had become very comfortable with all of my Shoulder moves, I have I few variations I teach in the lessons. I think the super invert is the most important to be comfortable with. This is when you SM and hold the position like so
This is the grip I use for the Shoulder Flip https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif It gives you a lot of control at the top of the move.

I don’t change my approach at all to sit on the pole……To sit on the pole instead of land beside you really need control over the descend then you can slow it down enough to do a pole sit. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif I would use the Veena grip to avoid getting your arms all twisted.

ohh that reminds me…Here an old vid of my practicing the SM Flip……I’m using the basic/cup Grip….there is slow motion for ya too. If your trying it for the first time start way lower on the pole…I was aiming for height in this video. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif wheeeee.

I use the Veena grip…I think Jenyne called it the flip grip when she saw me do it. Lower arm holds the pole as you would for a basic SM grip, the top arm is in front of the pole not behind. I do this hold often in my vids and teach it in the lessons. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Your body is warm….that helps a ton, even on a cold pole https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I would see a physical therapist….you may just need to strengthen one area and or, stretch another to keep things in working order. I have always funky hips and I have found that as long as I’m sure to stretch in all angles, I have no troubles. Remember hips have far more motion than just flexion and extension. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

As long as your comfy with your gemini, trying it from that move is totally fine, and some find it easier…I demonstrate it from the floor/standing because your less likely to fall. Also, if you look close at the lesson I’m not crossing at the ankle….just the tops of my feet lock together, by the toes. I have always had difficulties trying to actually cross at my ankles. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Yep, I teach you to keep your knees spread as far apart as you can….the crossing of the feet can help many feel locked into the position. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

There are LOTS of ways to get into many moves……I know I have just the word cheat before but really…..don’t feel there are "cheats" just different levels and variations on moves. What seems impossible to one, is easy as pie to another….. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif
