I was practically working myself up into a lather and very nearly decided to skip the class. I as convinced that I would be the worst girl in class and be kicked out of class and EG would blame my teacher for letting me up to L5 before I was ready.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, I went ahead. It was way less scary than I expected it to be. I wasn\u2019t the worst girl in class (although quite near the bottom of the pecking order), and EG was actually really lovely with a girly voice and very encouraging but at the same time, really tries to push the girls to progress.<\/p>\n<p>anyway, the stuff i worked on were:<br \/>\n1) <strong>bow &amp; arrow<\/strong> (positioning on the pole, slide down the pole then the extension while our hands were on the ground)<br \/>\n2) <strong>elbow stand then split dismount<\/strong> (i was really crap at this \u2013 not controlled at all)<br \/>\n3) pencil (i was struggling to get up because i was afraid and didn\u2019t know what to do. could only get up when EG \/ other girls pulled me hips onto the pole)<br \/>\n4) <strong>shoulder mount from the ground<\/strong>, ie. from \u201ctable top\u201d position the way we did at the beginning of learning caterpillar (i managed to get my legs up \u2013 yay!!)<br \/>\n5) <strong>cupid<\/strong> (easy for me) from climb eagle (i only did eagle) into outside angel and into cupid<br \/>\n6) <strong>archer<\/strong> ( i just about managed to to it \u2013 both hands off, for 3 counts \u2013 but only because elena was there spotting me. otherwise i don\u2019t think i would have dared to let go) from climb eagle into outside angel into archer<br \/>\nanyway, i thought i took it easy at pole yesterday (e.g. didn\u2019t try for bow and arrow too many times because my feet hurt etc.) and felt fine after the class, so i thought i would not ache at all today. but my back is aching all over today and my arms are aching too.. crazy!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was really nervous before my first L5 class with the founder of my school EG (Wed, 29 June), because she has a fearsome reputation of being very strict.
