Confessions of a Twirly Girl: Operation Upside Down: Month 3

Handstand on the Golden Gate Bridge

If you've been following me lately, you know I've been on the hunt for inversions. If you haven't, you can check out my Month 2 update HERE. September began with recovery from NCPP, a long weekend and a trip to Las Vegas for Pole Expo. So, I missed the first two weeks of Bottoms Up class with Janet. I did make it to lyra twice with Jen. I did a choreography class with Jill. Plus, I did a floor flow workshop with Morgan. I also performed (if you could call it that -- I could barely walk in those heels) at Robert's Twirl for a Cause show. I feel like I got some decent practice in this month. At my final Bottoms Up class for September (just last week), my first chopper actually felt strong. I felt like *I* actually lifted myself up. You won't be able to tell on the video, but I felt it and Janet felt it. The choppers that followed went back to feeling like Janet was pushing me into them. BUT, that is PROGRESS! I have been frustrated because I feel stronger in lyra than I do in pole. Maybe because I can throw myself around a little easier in lyra. So this was the first time I felt stronger in pole as well. I am so excited!

So enjoy some videos and photos from the previous month of strength training and fun!

Look who hauled her ass up into the tall hoop!

I did it! Almost by myself!
