A few weeks ago I posted a video showing 3 ways to aerially invert with this way being the easiest way. Because this move also stands alone I thought it would be appropriate to give it its own video. Pay special attention to the aerial leg on/leg off switch that allows for me to hook the leg to complete the move. This was not shown in the '3 ways' video. As always if you have questions feel free to leave a comment either here or on the actual YouTube video.
I am available for private lessons in person and video conference. Genie: it's the knee hold without the pain. No, it stands alone and is transitional as many of these moves are. For me I need this move for the Pegasus (I think that's one name for it--side saddle I think some call it). Think of this move as a double hamstring curl and squeeze for all you're worth. But unlike that hamstring curl where you can flex or point your feet, with the genie (and 90% of pole moves) it is really important aesthetically to point your toes. Why would you want to climb up the pole side-ways like a crab? Well it's not really like a crab and there are many uses for side climb. Not only is it a cool variation but it sets up many other moves. This is the first in a series of tutorials that use the side climb or can use the move to set up the next pole pose. Try to remember to point your toes by engaging the muscle running the length of the front or your leg (anterior tibialis) all the way down into your foot. This will make the foot pointed as well at the toes. |
