I thought I was doing the invert so wrong. My back would hurt after every invert. Its because i didnt have my shoulders down and chest out! thanks so much
I've been pole dancing and inverting for 5 years and I've learned SO much more about proper technique from this tutorial than I'd known before, excited to pass these tips on to my students. Thank you!
Oh man, this is a level of detail and technical undertstanding that would have saved me a super annoying injury. Thank you so much for this! I'm really looking to work slowly with the right technique this time around (now that I've recovered!) - but when you're told to simply 'keep your shoulders engaged' that's hard to do when you don't really understand the mechanics of it all. This has clarified so much! What a wonderful teacher.
I am an intermediate poler but still struggle with pretty straddle inverts. They're okay but I can never get my hips up high enough, and I come down really clumsily. I'm excited to put this tutorial to use - I have class in a couple of days so I will report back!
Hi Amy, ive been practicing your exercises for inverts and its really helping i think. I cant find in your videos a tutorial on shoulder mounting, do you have one? If not, are you able to create one pretty please? Thank you, Natasha
Oh my, so glad I found you. I have been out of pole due to injuries, broke finger and then elbow pain first in left and then right. So I am like starting again.😒 Honestly never heard of the external rotation explained so well. Thankful for the conditions exercises that are not just strenght drills. I am hyper extended in elbows so that is usually where I feel it. Looking forward to a new beginning.😜
Oh no, I hope your feeling better now! Hyper extension in the elbows can defiately make it a little harder to stabilise things on the pole, just keep working your shoulder stability and it will help so much! Glad the video helped
Thanks Amy for this video. I think that, at least for me, the exercise you are showing around minute 5:30 is going to be extremely beneficial. I am fine with the pull up and tucking the pelvis but that point in the invert where I need to engage my back muscles to lift my hips closer to the pole is probably my weak point.
Yes add them to your routine, and you should notice a huge differnce. So many tend to focus on more core strength but that upper back pull strength si what I think most people are missing. Its way easier said than done though to engage it. let me know how you go!
Wow! This is so helpful I've been pole dancing for awhile now, but invert still needs some work. But with your tutorial I think I can get it right 🥰 Thanks!
Thankyou, Glad it was helpful :) Stick with the exercises for a few weeks and it shoulde definately make a huge difference. Inverts can take a lot of practice :)
Thankyou and glad you found the tutorial helpful. I have been away form youtube for a few months but will be back with new tutorials soon. if you have requests feel free to share
Bad ass alert!!! Thank you for the activation tips. Im struggling a lot with my strength and am realizing how much work I have ahead of me. As someone who’s always struggled with fitness culture and being in the gym, I’m learning to embrace the power it gives me. And i can experiment safely from home. Appreciate you!
This is an awesome tutorial. I like how you place importance on shoulder blade engagement. I also made notice of how you explained the invert with pole positioning and body and neck engagement as opposed to jumping into it. This is the best tutorial I've seen in a long time. It's clear you have knowledge of the muscular system. Also, your quads are a nice size. Were you a figure competitor, or were those formed from pole moves?
Thank you so much for this video! I have always been taking classes but compared to a lot of videos i noticed having an arched back in my invert/helicopter. This explains it all!
This was really useful, I am really struggling to invert without kicking up. I tend to grip the pole under my armpit initially but I can see you do not do this. What is the starting position with location of pole when you start the move please?
It can be differant depending on weather your wanting to hook with your outside leg or inside leg. Outside leg you really want your hips to get as high as possiblefor a smooth transition, inside leg is a little differant.
Once the alignment is correct and you understand what that feels like in your body, and can maintain that whilst tucking the knees in and the final position in the v as well, the tile should feel a lot easier. For example as mentioned in the video if our alignment is out and we are in turn relying on the smaller muscles of our arms, ie biceps, to hold us up, tilting back is going to be hard. Our biceps actually need to eccentrically release, so if they are holding us up as we begin to release them, then we are not going to be able to tip. Once we find the engagement to use our back muscles they should be able to hold us up as those biceps are able to eccentrically tip us back... hope that makes sense!

@@AmyBreurFitness Today I finally got my first no kick invert :). It still needs a lot of practice but I'm so happy I did it. Thanks so much for your tutorial and exercises 💜.
Dont let it stop you though! yes the technique and exercises are important, but whats more important is being consistent and giving it time. Hows the inverts going now?
@@AmyBreurFitness I can invert but sometimes I have to kick into one I’m having trouble straightening out my body though so I’m at like a bend.. hurts my back I think.

Yay im glad this helped, pain in the mid back is all too common in inverts. Hope the tips and cues have helped you rid of the pain!
Excellent video! I've never seen anyone explain the technique so well and in so much detail. Well done.
So glad you found this helpful!
Ok, THIS IS A COMPLETE GAME CHANGER!!!! You're like a fairy godmother of pole ❤❤❤

❤ I totally agree! This would have saved me from a world of injuries.
OMG thank you!! i was wondering why I can't hold my invert for long... it's because im letting my arms drop to early! Thank you for the help 😘
Thats ok! Glad the tips were helpful!
This is exactly what I needed for my pole goals this year! Thank you
Yay im glad it helped 🥰

I love it! This is so helpful. Especially where you try it closer to the ground. Sometimes doing it from standing can still be intimidating.
Yes from standing can be intimidating at first, but it gets easier with consistency and hard work. Glad you found the tutorial helpful
This makes so much sense, especially just starting to build those muscles and get the muscle memory started. Thank you!!
You're so welcome!
Drink every time she says shoulders down and back but fr i need to hear it
Way cool
❤
Girrrrrlll i inverted!!!! Thank youu🎉❤❤❤
Woohooo 🎉🎉 I'm so happy you got it 😍

Brilliant tutorial. Definitely gonna use all the inputs from this video
This was very, very insightful 😮
These instructions are phenomenal! So clear!!
Can you show how you aerial inverts look so amazing?
Gracias, saludos desde Venezuela. I can understand, thanks
This is veryt useful information 🙏 ohya may I know your Pole diameter? Is it 45mm or 40mm ?
This pole is a 38mm pussycat pole, the ones in pur studio are 40mm x pole
Great video, but the background music was out of control. It was hard to even focus on what you were saying.
Glad you enjoyed it 🥰 and thankyou for the feedback! Might need to turn it down more next video, or choose some differant tracks 😉
Thank you for sharing this and giving so much attention to the details. That has really helped with these exercises and the invert!
No worries at all. Thanks so much for watching! Glad they helped. I do plan to be back on youtube with some new tutorials soon so stay tuned!
Very useful! I was wondering how you transition from the V to a geminis and If there’s anything I should have in mind
It can be differant depending on weather your wanting to hook with your outside leg or inside leg. Outside leg you really want your hips to get as high as possiblefor a smooth transition, inside leg is a little differant.
Thank you for the tips how to invert...💓💓💓😊
Your most welcome! Glad I could help
Great explanations. Ive been practicing for weeks and i think i got the power but i really do not get to rock back 😢😢😢 any further tips?

Glad it was helpful! Keep practicing all the exercises and you will smash those inverts!

Awesome!
Great tutorial
Thank you!
