Same Side Descent is an inverted descent for students who are learning or have learned Same Side Wrap. Holding a Same Side Wrap requires specific actions of the hips, which can be practiced in this descent. When we teach this we start students in a small descent, imverting from the ground, and as they gain control and confidence moving up in height later from there.
This skill is a great place to practice strong leg extension, hip squaring, and full body engagement in an arched body gazelle position. And, it’s a nice way to come down the fabric as well.
