For the Superman spinners:
The spinning seems to be caused by rotation through the shoulders, due to having your hand too low and close to your body, when you’re in the superman position. If your hand is too low, and near your butt when you’re in position, your shoulder compensates by twisting your upper body back towards the pole… and your body starts spinning! If your hand is higher, you can hold the pole behind you while still having your shoulders pointing forward and this seems to reduce the amount of spinning. That’s my current theory anyway – devised last night with Sassafrassle, a couple of other girls, and judicious application of a swiss ball.
So! To stop spinning when you’re in a superman – make sure your hand is higher on the pole so both your shoulders are facing forward.

I’m finally feeling comfortable with the superman. I’m no longer spinning all the time. The last tip was a good one on how to stop spinning. I find if I do the superman while my pole is not warmed up the when I push my hips down it doesn’t hurt where as if I try towards the end of my practice its still quite painful. I’m making good progress on this and now just have to practice dismounts or transitions out of it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
