Yasssss Susan!! I am so happy you sent this right away to me in a message too! It brought me so much joy watching you accomplish this one. Well done!! 🙌

Elenaaa this was so close! I hope you're okay :) You're smiling hehe so I assume you are ❤️ This shape asks ALOT out of the left shoulder so make sure you are pushing into the floor soooo hard! Try moving the left hand forward just a little, like an inch, maybe shifting the right arm up an inch too and then also make sure the right calf and heel come to the pole as well! Update me!

Thanks so much for posting this here Susan!!! It's so helpful to see what others prefer! This is my preferred entry as well however, yes you can get into it from crucifix. That's how I demonstrate in the butterfly tutorial (around 1:49 of the attached tutorial). John Flynn keep us posted!!

One more thing Susan - have you ever done hang glider on the pole? It's the exact same position! A floor hang glider :)

2 things: I would think of it less as an Ayesha and more of an inside leg shape bc the connection point to the inner thigh at that moment (just like an inside leg hang is a really important point of contact). it would be pretty tough to balance with just the arms and no contact to the legs at that point.

2nd I say this a lot to myself too when I’m frustrated with a combo.. not every combo is meant for everybody. And good things typically dont happen when I approach a combo already in a frustrated mindset, so it might help archiving it for now, work on some forearm stand strength and conditioning over this next month and then picking it back up during review week to see if it feels different :)
