I did my extended butterfly again!
Five years after falling from it, injuring myself, giving up pole, having a baby, miving continents, leaving all my friends and family behind, gaining and losing 35lb I did it again! From a proper caterpillar/bat (instead of my usual cheating gemini to butterfly)!
I was so frightened to get back on a pole last October, didn’t start to invert again til Christmas, only got my gemini back last month but today I crashed through the fear barrier with my teacher and I did it!
Ok wonky arm but I did it.
It’s bizarre that I can do quite a few advanced moves (and have toenail polish marks on my ceiling to prove it lol) but anything from inverted crucifix/caterpillar/bat/nose to pole upside down and I go into a cold sweat of fear.And here’s the pic to prove it!

Thank you my 3 awesome teachers and Veena and community here for getting me back safe and strong.And thanks for sharing in my self indulgent post of joy: only other polers get it and the few friends I have here don’t pole.
