Improved Axel Technique

Last week I talked about the idea of having a pole on my spine to help me push my pelvis forward for better posterior chain alignment. Here are a few videos of my axel, where I am focusing on “making contact” with an imaginary pole near my tailbone and on the back of my head.

These definitely felt weird to jump, but I can definitely see a difference when watching the video. They don’t look as much like a struggling adult! Hahaha!
