Upside Down Straddle - Online Class

Hi everybody!

This week's online class is The Upside Down Straddle.
The Upside Down Straddle is a very move when doing aerial of all kinds.
We use this move to go on an element, but we also use it as a shift between moves (especially on silks and pole dance).
The Upside Down Straddle has some levels of difficulty (as i show on the video). If you are a beginner, you might find it hard to get into the position right away, so the best way is to find a way to put both legs on the bar first (doing The Ball), put you hands on the bar between your knees and slowly get into the position you want to end up in. This will help you understand where you want to end up.

The location of the hands in The Upside Down Straddle is different than The Ball position. This time your hands are holding the bar next to each other and between your legs.

On this video I put 2 levels of difficulty. I know The Upside Down Straddle can be a bit hard to learn for beginners but don't give up. It is a very good workout for your abs (even just trying to get into it) and a very important move in aerial.
I also use it as an aerial workout by doing sets of 10s going up and down slowly.

So here it is, hope you will enjoy it and please if you have any questions - don't hesitate.
