Journey to one leg bridge| ...
Part 2 of the combo is up on the platform ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐check out it out and give me a shout if you need some help! ๐
Well done to you all for attempting the pole assisted forearm stand ! Itโs not easyโฆ there is so much to think about in the position and it requires quite alot of bravery especially if you havnt trained forearm stands so much so please say WELL DONE to yourself for your efforts and please allow yourself NOT to be perfect ๐คฉ ! It would not be challenging if it came easily and the little bits of balance would not be as satisfying ๐I trained forearm stands for years over and over until I could finally found balance on all surfaces with no fear. In one of my first ever competitions I put one in and really thought it was going to be solid and I fell out of it on stage . I was heartbroken but it made me try even harderโฆ. Learning and growing and trying is the key not looking for something quick, shiny and perfect ๐ ๐ช๐ผ ๐ฑ Look forward to teaching you guys the next part on Thursday ๐
Hellooo!
Today's practice๐ค i haven't had that much power today, i also felt a bit ill. But before the end of our short vacation i asked Mum to train once more. In the end I was about to try if i can scorpion but i'm still scared. And decided to fall ๐
but the day will comeโบ๏ธ๐ฉท
Hi all!!
I haven't had the chance yet to try the scorpion on the pole yet, I will tomorrow, but I had a go at it at my friends.
In the second photo she was spotting me (I made her the catsuit she is wearing and in return she is helping me with arm balances haha). I did the forbidden thing though - I did not warm up my back very well ๐ซฅ
The second try I could hold it for a second myself. I have this issue where my elbows always keep splaying out (also with forearm bridge for example). I'm not sure how to keep them from doing that - is it a shoulder mobility thing?
Can't wait to try on the pole! (With a properly warmed up back ofcourse!!)
Thanks ๐๐๐
Hiii!! Today i attempted this forearm stand with the pole and oh my god was this hard. I tried soooo many times ๐
this was my best attempt haha.
I have a hard time keeping my hips high and standing on the toebox, as i feeel i slide away.
Is it maybe also better/ ok if i keep my shoulder behind the pole? I tried to keep it next to the pole now, but i feel like it made it a lot harder. Usually i jump up with my shoulder behind the pole.
Anyway after all that i did almost grab my heel in an inverted eagle hehe.
I will keep trying!! The fore arm stand from the wall feels easier now ๐ฌ๐๐
Thanks xxx
Hello Guys!
Let me share what I celebrate today: no matter what, we go on! Working on fears...
As i mentioned on our last meeting my Mum super scared of my trainings. Even if she is just watching. Although she is my biggest support always and ever! I know very well how much she is terrified of handstands and any acrobatic stuff. So today I've asked her for helping and work together on our fears. She understood that her fear can block me as well. I don't lie if i say this training was in my top5 trainings in my whole life! So magical. First times i fell, she was crying :D Than with her assistance i was able to switch off my automatic reflex to fall and in the end i entered by myself. She just put her hands but didn't touch. Than I asked to hold my hip to try to bend the leg. And also in the end she cried just a little bit and both of us reliefed so much <3
Thank you Felicity for giving homework as well and for the chance to work on skills everywhere even without pole! Try to attach video, if i can not, here are some pics.
This is the combo we will learn this month! ๐โค๏ธ๐ hope you like it! If you are looking at this and thinking โthis is impossible โ โ I will ever be able to do thisโ please change your thoughts to โ I am ready for the challenge โ or โI am ready for my body to surprise meโ I will be demonstrating different variations and modifications to suit everyone ๐๐ I am excited to teach you all ๐๐ป First session is this Thursday x
Hello all!
I'm happy to be the first abd share experiences๐คญ those of you who participated in last Accountability meeting, you already know i'm not just scared from handstands but dread. I'm really terrified...
But after some falling doen and maybe hundred of handwashing i completed (i don't joke i was my hands more times than when i do tricks. My hands are sweating so much because of scare...)
So in the end i got the Stag. Scorpio i didn't plan to do for first. However it almost happened but just because i can not control because of scare ๐
Felicity could you check on the position of my shoulder on the pole? I just noticed on the recording it's getting to the front of the pole. I tried to keep it after i saw but there has not been more power for today.
Somewhy I csn not attach video but try with a videocapture.
