Yuri Marmerstein 

Artist/Athlete/Teacher

 

I am an acrobat and movement teacher based out of Las Vegas.

I was not too active as a kid and only found my passion for movement as an adult.  For the most part, I taught myself the skills I currently teach and perform.  
I have performed across the US, including on the Vegas Strip and on Broadway.  
I currently travel the world to teach my perspective on learning acrobatic skills as an adult.  
I offer seminars, workshops, and other in-personal educational experiences for all levels.

Thank you to everyone who came out to my handstand workshop yesterday at @poleexpo we had an amazing group with great energy, and were able to cover a lot of information in a relatively short time. A big thank you goes out to @poleexpo for having me back as an instructor yet another year! next workshops for me are coming up in Long Island, New York and Cleveland, Ohio the following two weekends. Spaces are still available
Moving too fast, both literally and figuratively, can be a common source of potential injury when training handstands. Make sure to control your movements and not to rush the physical acclamation process in order to stay healthy long-term during your practice. this is a clip from a longer video talking about handstands and injuries, you can watch the whole thing on my Facebook or YouTube.

The aerial cartwheel(or au sem mao) was one of the first acrobatics tricks I learned many years ago. Specifically this variation in which the legs pass slightly in front of the body as opposed to directly over the top(more common to gymnastics). I think it's a good introductory "flip" for many people to learn since all you really need to be able to do it is a decent cartwheel(check out my vimeo series on how to learn and improve your cartwheel). Hip mobility can be helpful here as it helps you to find the floor faster and can improve the aesthetic appeal of the movement. In my experience the biggest reason people struggle learning this is either because of subtle technical mistakes or just not committing fully.
