    How To Ask the Wizard of Oz for Luscious Abs & Stronger Inverts

    May 20, 2009 / 3 Comments

    Do you want stronger, more controlled inverts? Do you hate doing boring ab crunches but want the healthy core necessary for advanced pole tricks? I’ve got the answer.  The secret to sexy, powerful abs that WILL give you a beautiful, flowing, seamless invert is something called the Full Hurricane.  This awesome and deeply sensual movement shares its roots with every inherently feminine dancing style, whether its Belly Dancing, African Dance, or Exotic Stripping.  It is undeniably erotic, engaging, and has plenty of playful variations (which I’ll talk about in a minute). “Todo, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore” – Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz Before you can…

Maybe you’re absolutely green with jealousy that you got passed over for that promotion. Or perhaps your seething red with anger? Turning purple from withheld passion? Face ashen gray with fear? Walking around under a black cloud? Sometimes you feel permeated by a color that fills you up and eats at your bones.  (okay maybe that’s a bit harsh, but you get the picture).  When the mood is too hard to fight off, embrace it instead.  By embracing the mood, you stop wasting energy…
