@polebird: 🌟 Pole trick - Ayesha aka handspring - Demo video inside 🌟

Angles, lines, and balance are some of the essentials of pole. This is one of my favorite "advanced" moves called Ayesha aka a handspring.

The top arm pulls while the bottom arm pushes (making a triangle shape) in this particular variation, which is called twisted grip. The triangle is a super important shape in pole. In this version, the triangle made with the legs and body assists with counter balance, which helps with stability. This was a dream trick for me when I learned of it a few months into pole, and I definitely had my share of repeated drills and failed practice attempts. Once the basic Ayesha shape and feel is learned, it opens a world of possibilities of different variations.

Thanks for stopping by - I truly enjoy sharing about pole with you all! Any Steemians tried or do pole or other aerial arts?? I also enjoy silks and hammock as well, and I would love to learn lyra and rope.
