The Koala Hug pose can be entered from various starting positions, such as Side Star.
In this case, the base’s foot is placed near the flyer’s hips. To enter the pose, the flyer simply rotates onto the foot and moves into the inverted Koala position.
The flyer turns down from the side position and leans over the foot of the base. In the video, the base helps the flyer with his hand, but it can also be done without hands. Julie Hemsky
