Below are picture of me doing a basic invert:

The instructor had to help me get into position  for this move because I didn't really know how to turn myself upside down. In this situation is was more important that I was able to experience being upside down than having the skills to get myself in to the correct position. The instructor is ensuring that my knees are correctly locked because I have to be able to grip onto the pole with my knees.
