Welcome everyone!!! 🥳🎉😍❤️ In the beginner of my journey (in 2014), I preferred headstands because I felt the most stable. However over time as I've become stronger and have focused more time into my inversion training, I'm now a lover of handstands! I encourage everyone to incorporate a little handstand training into their journey too, because the strength and flexibility it'll help you build in your shoulders and the spinal awareness and alignment it'll teach you will be very beneficial to pole! In honor of the challenge these past two weeks, I made my handstand workshop available for free to all subscribers! Make sure to take advantage of watching it and take notes while it's still available to you for the next 48 hours! 

I'm excited to hear from all of you about your preferences!! My answer is long hehe but feel free to just drop a short blurb!

I'm really thrilled to hear this Jo! And so happy you shared your experience here on the post. Thank youuuu! I know you'll inspire others to give it a try as well 😊

This is beautiful Espi!! and yes! I like to think of an "equilateral triangle" when setting my hands around the pole and my elbows. Does this make sense? This will give you your most stable base!

Excellent Elena! Well done with this one 🥳👏🏼❤️

Susan Papp Mlodzienski i want you to try shifting the positive of your hand first and see if that helps! I drew white lines on where the hand should be placed to better support your balance. Right now the hand is coming directly to the right of the elbow and it’s going to be so helpful if it’s directly in front or a little angled in to the right (just where it would be placed for a forearm or headstand)

Yayyyyy this makes us so happy! me too!! 🥰💪🏼❤️

Wooohoooo so glad to have you back in the challenges babe! Gorgeous shape on you!

Yasss I've done these awhile back and remember them being spicyyyy!! So good for strengthening the muscles needed for allll the knee hook grabs we do in pole! Thanks for sharing here Espi!!

Solid handstand John!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Oooo freestanding!! Nice John so strong!!
