Caterpillar Press
The Caterpillar Press is your first step towards true inverted mobility, and a vital part of your progress towards Ayeshas and many more amazing tricks. Learning to lift and stabilise yourself in this bad boy can be tricky, but with Filly’s expert breakdown you’ll be well on the road to smooth Caterpillar success!
Outside Leg Split & Super Cupid
This elegant split shape is deceptively simple to learn, but packs a major visual punch! Filly takes you through all the elements of push, pull, positioning and grip points to help you get the most out of your outside leg split, and if you’re nailing it already she throws in an advanced variation to take it to the next level!
Straddle Invert Conditioning
Join Carlie Hunter as she takes you through a series of drills that will help you nail that Grand Nemesis: The Straddle Invert! The key to a strong straddle invert is in the correct engagement of multiple muscle groups, and these exercises will not only make you stronger, but teach you to feel and understand how to engage and stabilise so your straddle invert can go from struggle to success!
Ballerina & Capezio Split
Graceful doesn’t even begin to describe this movement. The Ballerina is many poler’s go-to spin trick that makes the audience go ‘ooohhh aaahhh’. Andrea is back in the studio to teach you not one but two entries into the beautiful Ballerina, as well as an advanced variation, the Capezio Split.
Extended Butterfly & Wedge
The Extended Butterfly is one of most classic and instantly-recognisable moves in the pole world and a must-have for intermediate-level polers everywhere. This beautiful shape is often the first time we get so much extension and distance away from the pole, which means it’s super important to understand all of your balance points and engagement.
Devil’s Elbow
One of Carlie’s signature tricks, and another one she created – the Devil’s Elbow is not for the faint-hearted! You’re gonna need balls, commitment, and a healthy pain threshold. A word of advice, don’t go trying this one with virgin elbow skin! Make sure you’ve done the Elbow Spin Variations tutorial before attempting this or we’ll be able to hear your screams through the computer.
Elbow Spin Variations
It’s time to bite the bullet and start preparing your elbow for some gnarly tricks! These variations are stunning on their own, and the perfect preparation to get your Devil’s Elbow spin. Don’t forget to do both sides, of course! This is elbow conditioning at it’s finest.
Leg Switches
Moving from outside leg hang to inside leg hang and back again can be terrifying. This video is an introduction to switching from the outside leg hang, to the inside leg hang. Make sure you are confident with this transition before taking it back again!
Reiko Split and Reiko Mount
Step onto the pole and extend into the beautiful lines of Reiko Split and rotate through the captivating Reiko Mount with Filly! Understand the push, pull and engagements you’ll need to take your Reiko Split from flaccid to fab, and how to rotate and pivot with a single foot on the pole to create the eye-catching Reiko Mount.
Sneaky V
You lucky thing, you get to learn this move off Carlie Hunter, the superstar who created it! Sneaky V is a versatile and interesting shape, looks awesome in photos and transitions to some really fun things! Make sure you check out our combos which utilise this move once you’ve nailed it!
