I completely understand your frustration. I live that life.com. But girl, don’t beat yourself up. There’s 1000 other beautiful things that you can do. You seem like me: we just want to get better and do the right thing in our practice.
I walk around literally doing reversed twerks trying to strengthen and work that pelvis tilt that’s holding me back. In the video that I recommended: she does say to kick just a little. I believe that you don’t need to do this (at this point). I know that I have enough strength not to kick into it, but LIFT my inside leg and lean/lay into it.
When I teach people, I don’t even use the “K“ word. I’m completely against that because newer polers may rely solely on momentum instead of understanding how to control their weight on the decend. I’m sure you know, This could lead to major injuries.
But please, let me know how it works out for you!

This is the only way that I was able to confidently achieve my inverts: https://youtu.be/y9RNxcSVc9U
And my struggle has been for YEARS, too. I just could never put it into such great words ðŸ‘ðŸ¾â¤ï¸â¤ï¸

That’s why I love the site. Things are archived. Your past experiences will probably help me out. I’m having a difficult time with these.

Yes… A year in feb. I reached out to webmaster last night.

Hey. The link is not opening for me. Vienna, could you please repost a link to the exercises you are advising for the tuck invert? The struggle is getting real!

Member forever. Can you send me a link as well?

There are different modifications that can help you with upper body strength. Have you tried modified push-ups on bent knees/on the wall? Also planks, really engaging your back and core. Bridges, scapula push-ups… Veena lessons can be viewed online, and they all don’t require poles (if you don’t have one @ home). There’s so many onl YouTube too. Dakota Fox has so many… Hope this helps!

Thanks for the information and encouragement. Of course I managed to do this when I have so much going on (as to say anyone makes time for an injury, lol!). I’m hoping it is a pull vs a tear. It is sore mostly at the top of my hamstring, and feels tight and (almost a dulling pain like a headache) thought the back of my thigh, and behind my kneecap. I’m so hoping I popped an air cushion, but it doesn’t feel that way.
I will get I checked out tomorrow. Thanks again for the tips, and encouragement.

I was seeing a lot of progress when I was doing Veena’s lessons… I’ll be getting back to that tonight!!!!

Yes!!! How exciting!!!! All levels of pole welcome!!! Were all working on different things 🌱 I’ll be inboxing you all my info tonight.
And if our schedules don’t permit, we can surely chat here!!! I’m just happy to have the connection.

Congratulations!! Hang in there!

I am a believer in repetitive practice. I would advise you to give Veena’s lessons a try. This way you have the option of learning different things, under good (safe) advice, at your own pace. The direction is amazing!
But be patient; and expect it to feel awkward 🙂
