Invert Class Day 7
Mantra: I can trust my body. Let me elaborate on this one! We can trust our bodies, they naturally know what to do. We don’t have to tell our heart to beat, or lungs to inflate and deflate, the body knows. It’s our mind that come in with stories of inability or fear. Let your mind get out of the way so your body can do what it already knows.
Tips: Now that we’ve been putting everything together, timing, breath, leg placement and controlled exits. It might feel overwhelming, that’s ok! Please don’t worry if you can not yet invert, this class is not about “getting” your invert. It’s about building a better relationship with the invert, your pole and your body. You may want to do this class a few times, or you can also try my 30 day Invert program. Another option is to simply be comfortable with your level of skill at this time, relax and enjoy the journey!
Question: How are you feeling about your invert practice at this time? Understand I’m not asking if you can invert yet, I’m asking are you seeing or feeling an improvement in strength, skills, confidence?
Homework: If you’re having mostly negative feelings, do you have any insight as to what’s holding you back? You can journal about this and if you want or share your feelings privately with me or share with everyone in the comment that’s fine too. If you do journal make sure you take some time to write about the “stories” you told yourself (what your mind is telling you) remember it may or may not be true. If you’re feeling positive overall, take some time to write your feelings of gratitude. Anything you are grateful for, write it down, this might be three things or a whole page of things.
Thank you for going on this invert journey with me. If you enjoyed this class please let your pole friends know. Have a beautiful day!
If you need to pause the video at anytime to practice more or have a look at a related tutorial to learn more tips for an exercise or trick go for it.
Here’s a list of direct links for some of the more challenging tricks, exercises and stretches used.
I had so much fun with this tutorial. I had to take a break to learn the proper way to do the reverse handstand invert but it was worth it. I learned so much from this class. even though I am at beginner level for pole dance I still got a lot from this class. I can’t do an invert from standing but that doesn’t bother me bc I know it’s a learning curve.
I went from this on 6/9

So excited to move on to beginner Level 2 and interchange it with the 30 day invert program.
Thank you so much @Veena
That’s fantastic! I’m so glad someone who at a beginner level had a chance to go through this because while it’s not technically for beginners. It’s interesting to see that one could use this as a way to understand the invert without fully needing to do an invert! Thank you for sharing!
