@polebird: πŸ’ͺ Acro flips and my first time in the scorpion handstand πŸ’ͺ

in fun β€’Β  7 years agoΒ  (edited)

I had a fabulous time at the park with my acro friends this weekend! It was finally a beautiful 70 degree F day outside after it had been freezing cold (for Texas standards at least) for the past couple of weeks. This was a really fun acro flow that incorporated a bit of flips (similar to the flips in country dancing) and back into scorpion pose. First time I successfully completed a back bendy acro handstand on my base Jake in such a manner! I was super excited! I hope to learn more of these acroyoga movements that incorporate a bit of flipping- it is so cool to fly! :)

thank you!! It is a lot of fun playing with everyone. I don't do it consistently (maybe once every 2-3 months haha I devote a looot of time to pole) but its been a year and half I believe since @karensuestudios introduced it to me.

Scorpion attacks!!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

hahaha yeah I suppose so!! :P you know watty actually got stung by a scorpion once!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

easy to watch difficult to do. may be you have a wax body to do this stuff. amazing @polebird

thank you :D I've been working on my flexibility for the last two years! Still more progress to go tho.

You are so ridiculously bendy!

Your base looked like he'd be so good at the aerial stuff, so solid and strong, totally looks like he's not going to lose his balance anytime soon... must be totally reassuring, especially since bigger guys tend not to get into yoga at all.

Love the casual way he just flips you into a supergirl... Jake is so strong. Arrrgh, I want to play with this so bad, gotta get on it!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

hehehe I believe he used to cheer and base acrobatics there! :) This was such a fun little combo - I always love the floppy stuff! Did you go to acro yet? I bet you would be a great base too!

This really takes me back to the days when I got my friends to spot my back tuck on grass.

I was mad scared at first, but got over the fear eventually.

Being able to do a standing backtuck felt like... super awesome.

But I can't do it anymore though lol. These old bones and brains can't take it.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

oh man that is pretty cool. I have never been able to do it, don't think I've attempted lol

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Get a spotter if you want to start. It's pretty easy actually. Physically, you should be able to do it.
