Must I invert first?
Okay…is there any way to get into a scorpio or something similar without doing an invert first?

Yes, from the floor, if you have the lessons here I show you how to start working on many things from the floor first.

2 ways, you can do a reverse handstand into an inverted crucifix and then bring the body around to the side and get into it that way, or a more difficult way if you are not bendy is to do a side V and then wrap the lower leg up the pole and get into a flatline scorpio and then again drop into it.

Climb the pole and with your forearm grip do a pole hang. Then going across the body hook your “top” knee and lower your body down into a jasmine. From there you can lower your body the rest of the way and move from a gemini to a Scorpio. Sounds more complicated than it is.

You can side climb and go into gemini too 🙂
-
@Cuwoody, what is a jasmine?
-
Jasmine is similar ti a shooting star however the lower leg is behind the pole instead of propped on it.
-
Oops…..it is the same as shooting star. Look in the gallery that Veena has on the site.
-
They are the same. Different studios use different terms. You will find that a lot in pole and there are many variations to moves as well.
-
You can jamilla/cradle mount into it too.

I knew you would get some great responses!! I’m learning some new ways, as well!

You can also do a thigh rest/apprentice, lean back and hook into a Scorpio.
