Aerial Pole Split
This move requires a high level of flexibility which is why it’s placed in the Advanced section. You will also need a solid Side pole climb or Star.
Also Known As: SPLITS ON POLE / POLE SPLITS
Strengthens: HANDS / ADDUCTORS / HIP FLEXORS / HAMSTRINGS
Gorgeous move! If only I could do the splits!! 🙂
LOL, i was gonna post the same thing 🙂
Me to!
This move gave me fits today but I think I see what I was doing wrong. Back at it tomorrow!
lol well shoot me a message if you need help 🙂
Pretty!! I guess from side climb would work, too? If only I had more than 8 ft ceilings!!!!
What a beautiful way to get into this! Love it Veena.
So basically you need to have your split for this one right?
Yes
I’m having a hard time shifting my top foot over to the pole after I straighten my top leg, it’s always to the side and I can’t seem to move it over – any pointers?
Do you mean you can’t fully get the top leg on the pole?
Veena would you consider creating a splits and back bend section with other movement in the routines besides Back Routine, Side Splits, and Front Splits L&R. My body seams to get used to the same movements/routines. It would be nice to have like 3 different ways to practice each of these routines with different body movements in each that support the same goal of getting the splits and back bends.
I’m not planning on adding any more sections but I am planning on a lot more routines both strength and flexibility once I get settled in my new house. We leave in 5 days and it will take me a while to get everything set up.
For now have you tried my other flexibility and splits improving routines?

Thank you. I have not yet seen the hip and pelvis routine! I will add the other active ones more often and see how it goes 🙂
Sounds good
I will also suggest using different methods for the stretches this will help prevent the body from becoming accustomed to stretching. Each individual stretch has a demo for multiple methods.
Also, since you updated your system I can not find how to save tutorials to my favorites list?
I can find my list of favorites although I can not find an option anywhere to save them to my existing list.
-Thank you
