Straight Leg Straddle Up Ground Class

This is something all aerialists should strive to master and constantly improve. Straddle ups are ubiquitous in aerial and this full length class hones in on drills to help you get rid of the dreaded micro-bend in straddle ups. Those micro-bends (or larger bends) often happen because of muscular compensations, so this class hones in on the deep core muscles needed, while also spending lots of time training the legs to completely straighten.

No aerial equipment needed!

Props needed:

• yoga mat or similar soft surface
• foam roller, or firm cushion, or yoga block, or similar
• heavy sofa/bed/furniture that you can put your hands underneath and push up into
• resistance band (optional)
