Hey Caroline! Glad you caught us with this question at the Q&A yesterday.
If your shoulders sit up a little bit more so they are parallel to the floor, you will get that sideways rotation. Legs on one side of the pole and the body on the other. It’s not quite a star drop set up, where the shoulders lift when the belly towards the sky, but more like the belly down moment in a wheeldown. In the walk and talk part of Rachel’s demo video, notice how her shoulders are lifted when her belly is down.
Otherwise, looks like a great way to get comfy with the catch as landing with the legs in an inverted straddle is secure and really slows the transition down 🙂
