Technique Tips from Kelsey

Pointing Your Toes:
What exactly does it mean to "point your toes"? Pointing your toes continues the line of your leg and allows shapes to appear more graceful and aesthetically pleasing.

Here are different tips to point your toes:

• Think about lengthening over the top of your foot.

• Don't crunch your toes under your foot.

• Keep your toes in line with your ankles.

• Practice pointing your toes for a short amount of time, and then work towards increasing the length of time to avoid cramps.

We are back in the Studio

Teacher Tidbits Corner - Karly Keenan - July 2021

I simply cannot express how happy I am to be back teaching in the studio but to see everyone’s faces! It has been a wild year with more obstacles than usual, but we as individuals saw these new challenges and persevered. Way to go!

If we haven’t had the pleasure to meet yet, I’m Karly and I teach Level 3 Hammock. My teaching style is boot camp fitness with tons of flips & flows. I focus on building strength to have fun in the hammock.

Now that we're back in the studio, we have tons of space to create lines. I would like to challenge you (and myself!) to focus on straight arms/legs and pointed toes. Not only do they make the best pictures, but you will look extremely professional even if you are a newbie! Bonus: It’s practice for the next Showcase!
