Aerial Silks Inversion Tutorial

Tutorial for safe progressions working up to a basic straddle invert on split silks. This is not all meant to happen in one day! Take it slow and work your way up. Let me know how this goes for you in the comments!

Love this tutorial!! How high is the ceiling and what kind of rig do you have?

Hey Megan, thanks! In this video, I am only set to about 10 feet. It is a mini-rig from Uplift Active that I use for indoor conditioning. My outdoor rig goes up to 20 feet and is from Vvolfy. :)

Do you have any suggestions how to stop jumping to get into a basic pullover? (Pullover to knot entry). I’m struggling to stop jumping and have to tag my foot.

Try doing it from the ground on one knee. Focus on rolling backwards like a ball then landing on your hip bones. Also use wrist locks to practice inverting and then tucking and rolling back like a ball, then roll back up with control and land with light feet. Let me know if this makes sense. If you need more help, send me a video of your attempt and I can try to give some pointers!
