Sharon Czarnek Susan Papp Mlodzienski vortex video :))
Tips:
- it’s important that if you’re right arm is the inside arm (the one wrapping around the pole), your LEFT leg is in front for your climb (or vice versa)
- After hands are clasped, the back leg slowly straightens, both legs still squeezing into the pole, and hips are pressed forward
Susan Papp Mlodzienski your setup was on point in your video. Have you tried to straighten your legs?
Sharon Czarnek let me know if you try!!
Other members seeing this, have you tried vortex? Do you like it? Let me know in the comments!!

Hi students!! I've added an additional twisting drill to the library. I've attached it to this post. I specifically filmed it for subscriber, John Flynn, based on a question he asked me, however I encourage you to try it if you have shoulder flexibility & twisting goals! It's a recent personal and student favorite 😀

A great drill for training the active flexibility in the back leg of inverted pole splits (jade, dragontail, pegasus, etc)! It's a progression the active flexibility drill in the Jade Tutorial where your butt is on a stack of blocks! I specifically filmed this for subscriber, Vanessa, based on a question she asked me, but I hope many of you can take advantage of it. If you don't have a bench, a folded pole mat, or even a bed works great! https://youtu.be/OYqCGqI8LEA

Your Weekly Challenge! REVIEW TIME!
July 1st & July 8th: Butterfly and manyyy variations
July 15th & 22nd: Tangled Split, Flamingo (upright & inverted) & combos with other move like upright mermaid, Remi sit, and poisson
What does Review Week Mean?
-Revisit a challenge that you missed OR
-Revisit a challenge that was especially difficult for you OR
-Revisit a challenge that you freakin LOVED OR
-Pick a different move that you are already comfortable with and challenge yourself to flow in and out of it as smoothly and cleanly as possible
Why?
Often times in pole, we bounce around to the "next cool Instagram move". So I love having review weeks in my personal practice too, which gives us a chance to further connect and explore different moves and sequences that we've already done in the past. Our bodies LOVE consistency when learning new things. I hope you enjoy this week!!
