POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I stumbled into this little elbow split situation back in 2021 while piecing together a combo from one of my signature classes, SHAPESHIFTING

For those who weren’t around back then, SHAPESHIFTING was our high intermediate/advanced class built around the concept of one base shape =endless possibilities.

We’d take a single shape and explore all the different ways we could build into it, transition out of it, and piece together an entire sequence without ever losing that foundation.

One of my favorite things to tell my students is, “Take what you want and leave what you don’t.”

And that’s what made this class so special. Not every trick is meant for every body, and that’s okay! You could skip what didn’t feel good, explore what did, and still find your own way through the combo.

I’m not claiming I invented this shape back then but ..I’ve never seen it before so on the rare chance that it hasn’t been done before and does not already have a name,I thought I’d start calling her

#PDScissorSplit

But I’m calling on my pole community! Have you seen either variation? Do they already have names?

Because I’m fully prepared for someone to come along and say, “Girl, we’ve been calling that something else since 2012.” lol

Until then, meet Scissor Split ✂️

And perhaps it’s time to bring SHAPESHIFTING back to the schedule. What do you think?

Thank you to everyone who showed up and out on this very hot (&sweaty) day. You did amazing!

3 key tips for practicing your #pdinvictussplit safely:

1. Start from the ground.

Try the shape from a fully supported position first to make sure you have the mobility and strength to access the position safely.

2. If that feels good, take it from #pdgenie.

Your top hand will be in cup grip. Thread your inside shoulder through and establish a really strong point of contact before releasing the legs. This gives you a good idea of the strength it takes to support the shape before fully committing up the pole.

3. Try spinning into it backward.

This can help make the shoulder thread feel a little more accessible. You can also play with this cute little variation as a stepping stone toward entering the full shape.

As always, practice with a crash mat and/or spotter, and make sure you get in a full, proper warm-up before trying this one.

What’s on your -To Do- list this week? 🤣
.
Got to the Stu to get in some training…
Realized I forgot shorts…
Had to Pivot…

And honestly, I’m not mad at it.

Here are 3 #pdlevergrip #poleflips to try!

That first one is from a video I found saved in my “ things to try”folder but somehow must have deleted it. If you know it or have seen her do this flip, please share her handle ✨.

This is the first half of the full combo. 📝

Next week we will revisit and refine these shapes and introduce the second half… Pegasus, Threadie & Dangerous Bridge

There’s a pretty big gap between Levels 2 & 4, and this class is designed to embrace that entire range — with everything in between.

That means your journey that day might look different from someone else’s. Maybe you’ll spend the class working on individual shapes, and getting comfortable with them before focusing on the element of flow. Or maybe your body is ready to explore the full sequence of shapes and transitions.

And a gentle reminder: our bodies feel different every day. 🤍

For my girls who were in class with me Sunday while we learned this combo — you saw firsthand that my body was really struggling that day. It’s frustrating and definitely feels defeating in the moment.

We all go through it. Give yourself grace (easier said than done. I know ) Meet yourself where you are that day. And keep moving forward because those tough moments are part of the journey, too. 🩷

See you next Sunday!

3 Key Tips for #pdvortex🌀

✨ Inside arm a little higher than you might think. It gives you more support

✨Think less about sinking down into the move -instead Really twist away from the pole and open your hips as much as you can

✨ And this one could be your GAME CHANGER… try spinning into it backward! 🙃

Sometimes the smallest adjustments can completely change how a shape feels

And remember — shapes are going to look different on every BODY. Different proportions, mobility, strength, flexibility… all of it changes the way a shape can look.

Find the version that feels good and works for YOU 🩷

PS we are currently in Instagram jail so if you think someone could benefit from these tips, please share!
