What’s your most recent pole victory?

With my instructor’s help, I finally got over my nerves/lack of confidence and got a shoulder V 🙂 One of these days I’ll get his crazy shoulder-hop-up-the-pole trick =P

In general, I’m really starting to feel confident in my own strength, and capable of seeing myself learning the advanced tricks that I want to learn. Even if it is in months or years for a lot of them, it’s not a generic, vaguely hopeless “someday” anymore 🙂

I love all of these!

Twisted shoulder mount flip to sad girl drop…although its still a bit of a hit and miss at this point.

Love this thread! I just tried no hands jade for the first time this week and got it. Also managed to get into inverted bird of paradise split which I didn’t think I was going to get just yet (!!!! Super goal move !!!!). Got foot to head in kind pigeon that night too on both sides and today decided to quick try side saddle superman just for the hell of it and got that. Yay! Great work, ladies ðŸ’—

Oh my god! You got bird of paradise!!! That’s amazing!! I’m sometimes working on that one too. Getting that bottom elbow around the pole is the hardest part for me right now. Can’t get it around the pole but I feel I’m relatively close

Phoenix Hunter, I should actually say I don’t quite have bird of paradise yet. I managed to get into it but it was definitely a struggle — and I only held it for like 2 seconds because once you unhook that top leg, it is VERY intense on the mid-upper back. I will feel I “have” this move when I can actually enter/exit with fluidity and grace! Still, it WAS a huge pole victory for me, and I’m proud of it, so I wanted to share it on this thread! I have a good amount of strength and flexibility but fluidity is definitely my biggest and most difficult seeming goals right now. Practice, practice, practice…(and good restorative rest). ðŸ’œ

That is a big accomplishment to even be able to get into the pose even if for a few seconds!!! Good job!

Today I did some dancing and managed to climb the pole, do a brief wrist sit, a couple of chairs, a backwards hook etc etc
Oh and I am able to get into the “Iguana” hold with straight legs (together) which is an awesome stretch for my hamstrings and shoulders- I was having a hard time getting my arms up and back to hold the pole but figured out if I step up to the pole the right way I can do it.
I am, of course, absolutely nowhere near doing an Iguana handstand but I love the stretch and knowing I have the ability to get into the position is kinda neat 🙂

I managed to do the cupid! Now I just need to be able to hold the position for more than three seconds! :p

I’ve been taking classes for a few months, but I FINALLY made it to the top of the 12′ pole in the studio! Slappin’ that ceiling felt good!
