    What’s the windshield wiper spin / move? I’ve heard of it several times, but not sure what it looks like. I believe StellaBella performed the spin to the song My Immortal.

    Thanks everyone.

    The windshield wiper is when you continuously switch from gemini (or scorpio, it doesn’t matter which you start with) to scorpio (or gemini) without hands. Each time you make the switch, you "lose" a few inches as you travel down the pole, so it’s very exciting to watch. So basically your legs are going back and forth around the pole quickly and you are sliding down the pole in an inverted position. And yes, StellaBella does an amazing one in her Immortal video!

    haha I was trying to figure out what the heck a windshield wiper would be. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif I was thinking it must be a floor move or spin. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I’ve never heard that name before, makes sense though. Thanks yogabeachbabe

    Thanks.. never really had a name for it. Yes, you are switching your right and left leg hooks. Make sure the side of your body is on the pole. Pole will rest under your arm, so you need some skin to keep you from slipping too far down. try it with straight legs, mine were bent in the video cuz i was so tired from teaching a 2 hr class and having a sprained groin.Either way it is a really fun trick
