So I from the day I started pole I was being taught to do an invert. My second class ever, I got an invert down, and I thought that was great! Now I just had to learn things upside down!

Over the past month of watching others invert online and something clicked. I couldn't get it out of my head that I was doing something different from their form. I just now learned the term for it: kicking into an invert. I wasn't taught to invert to a straddle, but instead taught that the way to get into an invert is to kick up into it.

I'm realising this probably isn't a great tehnique. I'm looking into relocating studios for other reasons also, but I've noticed these habits being taught as the proper form, and, well, what I've found online says that might not be correct.

How do I break this habit? Any tips or insight into the movement/mechanics? I understand it's largely also strength, but now I have to convince my brain to do something different than it has been :o
