That's the goal! With an understanding of Butterfly to Handspring specific strength and conditioning, our team have helped hundreds of pole dancers nail their nemesis move. These programs are designed to help you nail yours. Whether that be a first time butterfly, ayesha, or even a handspring - with these training programs, you'll be able to tackle them all.

We have designed three different programs tailored to different level polers that are working towards different goals. Each program has carefully selected strength and conditioning exercises designed to help you build the specific strength and co-ordination required to achieve the next move within the Butterfly to Handspring progression.

Butterfly Builder (Lv 1) is suitable for intermediate polers with a strong straddle, outside leg hang and crucifix working towards their Butterfly and Extended Butterfly.

Ayesha Academy (Lv 2) is suitable for advanced polers working on their Pike and Ayesha.

Handspring Hero (Lv 3) is designed for high advanced to pre-elite polers working on their forward and backwards entry Handsprings.

Butterfly Builder (Lv 1) requires participants to have a strong straddle, outside leg hang and crucifix on both sides.

Ayesha Academy (Lv 2) requires participants to have a confident extended butterfly on their preferred side as well as a confident straddle, outside leg hang and crucifix on both sides.

Handspring Hero (Lv 3) requires participants to have a strong Ayesha on their preferred side and confident straddle, outside leg hang and crucifix on both sides.

A butterfly is an intermediate move, so we recommend you are at least an intermediate level pole dancer before working on our butterfly training programs. Ayeshas are an advanced level movement and Handsprings are a pre-elite level move.

We encourage you to review the pre-requisites of each training program to determine the right one for you!

There are 3 workouts each week, however you can choose to perform the workout 2 times per week and still receive great results. The program should not be performed more than 4 times per week.

If you don't have access to a pole, you can substitute the on the pole training session in the program each week with an additional off the pole training session.

In all three butterfly to handspring programs (Butterfly Builder, Ayesha Academy, Handspring Hero), the focus is on progressive overload and evidence backed strength and conditioning principles.

We don’t get caught up in all the fluff of ‘cool’ instagram exercises and aim to not overwhelm you by ensuring there is consistency with exercises as what you would expect in a tailored 12 week gym program. Instead these programs are altered every two weeks in a progressive nature and we focus on progression between workouts by changing exercise parameters (reps, sets, weights, tempo etc).

Each workout is 30-45 minutes in length.

The Butterfly Builder, Ayesha Academy & Handspring Hero programs require:

- Yoga Mat

- Dumbbells/Kettlebells of varying weight

- Medium to heavy theraband/resistance bands

- Yoga Blocks

- Massage ball

- Bench/chair

- Access to a pole that can be on static and spin
