Hands Free Spotting for the Pole!Join us with Body & Pole for some hands free spotting techniques!   No touching!  No Problem! Hands-Free Spotting For COVID-Safe Teaching 

These COVID-safe spotting techniques were developed internally for Body & Pole by owner Kyra Johannesen, Assistant Programming Director Brenna Bradbury and Programming Director Phillip Evans, and were shared with their trainers weeks prior to the studio’s reopening, after a nearly 6 month shut-down. Kyra, Brenna and Phillip spent hours coming up with creative ways to manipulate mats in order to make touchless spotting possible and effective. They based the techniques around the notion that anything vertical can be done horizontal by using push and pull contacts on the ground, though they wanted to get people elevated (no pun intended!) Utilizing pole and aerial mats, they perfected 14 different techniques to assist students into shapes so they can actually be a few feet off the floor, or in an inversion. The keys are verbal cuing and using mats as touch points. 

The best part is that these cues will carry over post-COVID, and you’ll have even more tools in your toolbox!
