✨ tag us in your post

✨ use the hashtag #pjcombochallenge so we can see all your amazing work!

✨ make sure you are dressed in your PJ kit to be featured

Let's break it down, shall we?

1. Start with a spinning invert.

2. Hook your outside leg, release your outside arm but keep holding the pole with your inside arm.

3. Thread your outside arm behind your back and hold onto the pole THUMB POINTING UP (this is where the shoulder stretching comes into play).

4. Unhook your outside leg and bring your legs into a straddle and hold this pretty shape for a few seconds.

5. Now, for the harder part. After your straddle, keep your legs straight as you lift them up higher towards the pole. Sickle your inside foot and push the inside of that foot into pole. This is now a contact point so you want to feel comfortable with this shape before continuing.

6. Bend your outside leg and arch your back. Try to touch your head with your toes!

7. Return to your straddle and hook your outside leg. Release your outside arm from behind your back, crunch up and reach for the pole above your hooked knee. Your inside arm is still holding onto the pole.

8. Swing your bottom leg and hook the pole behind the knee as you enter a genie. Now you can easily let go of the pole with your outside arm!

9. Congrats, you've made it to the final transition. From this genie shape, we are transitioning into a Superman variation (some people call this Side Superman or Butt Superman). Unhook your top knee from the pole and straighten your leg as you rotate your chest to the floor (like a Superman). Push the inner thigh of your top leg into the pole and engage your glute to raise the leg as high as you can. Your bottom leg should still be hooked firmly. Hold this cute position for a few seconds and smile for the camera 📸
