molly rudolphi You're welcome!! Keep us updated when you try again :) 

Susan Papp Mlodzienski okay great! that top arm PULL is just as important as the bottom shoulder PUSH when doing the handspring. And watch around 25:29 of this video for a quick review on the setup with a band so we can make sure band is in the correct spot :) 

😂😂😂 you both are going to laugh at this... I have also only done it once... for the sole reason that I really wanted it in the App's Dictionary! hahahaha it's quite terrible to be completely honest! but something a little more helpful (lol) it's a huge twist and side stretch on your left side, so you want to move your left arm up and open it back as much as possible (think bicep to ear). jamimah  Vanessa

This is a great question!! I'm going to make a separate post in response to this because I think it's something that will help a lot of students. Thank you Jamimah for posting this!

Looks good Susan! Do you feel the bicep working hard on that top arm?

These are all great tips, Vanessa—thank you for sharing them!! And thank you, Molly, for posting this here!

Just to reiterate a couple of things Vanessa mentioned:

Try to create more of a pendulum motion rather than a circular one—that shift will really help with your timing. You have the strength; now it’s just about dialing in the timing.

YES to pushing through that bottom arm like your life depends on it 😂 and don’t forget to pull with that top arm using your lat and bicep just as much.

Keep us posted on how it goes!! 💪🏼✨

Omg yesss so happy you squeezed this in on the last day and it's amazing!! And I know we can all relate to the "pole focus face" haha—true pole artist vibes 😂🥰❤️ Thanks so much for sharing here babe!
