I always find a belay is one of those really frustrating wraps that looks so much easier than it is! To be honest, I've never really gotten on with the belay, no matter where I have the silks it always seems to feel like they're crushing my organs! But the shapes you can make from a belay can be so beautiful, so I've been including it in my training more than usual and actually really enjoying it!
Beautiful Shapes
Having two tails and a loop to play with means the belay is such a versatile move and there're an almost endless amount of shapes you can make. Here I have included my 12 favourites:
- Seat, silks on back
- Seat, silks under bum
- Dancer pose
- Coffin
- Split
- Hocks
- Single leg hang
- Inverted pike
- Inverted split
- Crucifix
- Star
- Wristlock split

Be unique,
