Yesterday I spent three hours alone in the studio with lots of motivation, a list of moves I saw in videos and a tango song inspiring movement... And here is the outcome! Four moves on my list failed because I am not flexible enough to oversplit (yet) and one move failed because it used the incorrect hand for my grip and the rest of the move wasn't worth switching sides to compensate. But I am proud to have accomplished what I did.
Here is just a simple knee hang, but until yesterday I haven't actually tried hanging behind my knee in this particular pose.
Here is a beautiful split move I have seen other people do. I really wish I had the flexibility required to bend that bottom leg and reach it with my arm. That really creates a beautiful image. But I can do the split quite nicely and managed to create a nice line... and can come out of it very nicely thanks to a video from Deb Riley's UK studio launch!
Here is a video of me going from a descending angel pose to a superman. It's a pretty cool transition I haven't tried before. It's actually pretty comfortable.
Here is a video of me going from a descending angel to a twisted grip. It definitely is not smooth yet. The main problem in this video is that I forgot to put my hand the right way and had to switch it. And I don't have the distance between my body and the pole yet, so it doesn't look as dramatic yet... I love work's in progress!
