    Try it, but stay low, I guess is the quick version. Low flow is all super trendy now anyway; the floor is the new ceiling in pole trick land.

    If not PLEASE do not try CAR on spin, especially not aerial!

    Be aware that on spin mode you have to have a rock solid exit strategy for CAR: train yourself to crunch back up using abs, which is harder with the momentum of the pole or learn how to flag grip cartwheel off. It’s definitely not a beginner move on spin mode.

    Veena I did tuck spin on spin, I can redo on static if it’s not right? I just prefer spin pole for everything.

    I recommended Tara Lee Elements of Yoga DVDs when we chatted but just popped in to say my friend who is a fantastic yoga teacher recommended YogaGlo as a great home resource, for a monthly sub you can access quick or long flows for all different levels and all different types of yoga.

    April 16, 2015 at 9:18 pm in reply to: Exiting inverts, especially on spin

    Thanks so much again Saeth and Lucca! Really great suggestions and ideas. I never shoulder dismount off, I will try to work on it. It’s funny because I have masses and masses of content to play with once mounted on pole. I’m happy to spin without dismounting for 2 minutes which is half the track. But as I never drill dismounts and do minimal floorwork (my pole space is small and carpeted so I can’t really) I look dreadful in transitions. I wish I could just stay on the pole, spinning faster and faster and never touch the floor!

    I am going to take advice of sticking with the familiar when it comes to dismounts and just drill thigh slides and mermaids over and over as that’s my preference. I just need to work out how to flip over and touch hands to floor from a flower spin or a fast, big, low Scorpio .

    Thanks Saeth! Really nice ideas 🙂 I agree re the strength and control needed.

    My go-to exits are tuck into a ball
    And slide to floor (not v tidy), flip
    Into
    inverted thigh hold, then reach hands to floor and thigh slide down, or gemini handstand out, or drop to splits. A problem I have is the exit from fast-spinning inversions like flower spin or big open shapes like Scorpio, especially when my head is close to the ground. I guess watching lots of spin dances like Ava Madison’s vids would help with ideas, and just making sure I really focus on exits because I am doing a solo at a showcase in a few weeks on a stage pole and whilst I am totally comfortable spinning round upsidedown it’s the transitions in between that are worrying me, especially on a short stage pole which am not familiar with.
