This AcroYoga transition is best attempted once your Reverse Shoulder Stand feels stable and controlled. The base initiates the movement by guiding the flyer away from his body, beginning the tilt. He brings his legs around the outside and closes them in front of the flyer’s hips, creating a secure point of support. Meanwhile, the flyer gradually tips from a vertical position into a horizontal one, arriving in Reverse Bird.
This transition is part of a Catherine’s Wheel washing machine variation.
