    I just want to ask you all if your body need time to adjust to certain things like inverting and spinning? I just started inverting and boy my brain is taking a little time to grasp it! Anybody else?

    I definitely got disoriented when I started inverting. You have to figure out proper body placement while upside down. It throws you off big time. It will become second nature after a while.

    It will vary from person to person, but yep, it's totally normal to feel like your body needs time to adjust. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif In the lessons, I have you working on inversions from the ground first for example, elbow and reverse handstand against a wall or pole. It can also help to find a point to focus on when your inverting. For some the pole works as a point, you could use the ceiling, or even a spot behind you depending on what you're doing. I think a lot of new "inverters" tend to close their eyes and hold the breath, so that can make it more disorientating. It'll get better https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    I didn't remember this but now post partum, I am doing everything all over again and ya I get a lil blood rush. It will last til you get comfy inverting. Some spins always make me dizzy for a sec. Just take a second and regrouphttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
