Grip the pole and prop yourself up. Hold the pole with your thighs, keeping your legs at 90° and 45°. Lean back.

Optional: Break into a rendition of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.”


2 CROSS-ANKLE RELEASE

Easy

 Grip the pole, then raise your legs, crossing your ankles such that your thighs can hold on to the pole. Say a little prayer and let go, ending with your hands above your head.


3 KNEE HOLD

Intermediate

Prop yourself up, then hook one leg around the pole. Hold your other knee against the pole for support. Release your hands as if attempting to fly.


4 JADE

Difficult

Prop yourself up, then point your legs vertically on one side of the pole. Once comfortable (if that’s possible), part your legs in an upside-down front-split, gripping the pole with your waist and front leg.
