Your Weekly Challenge(s):
I'm so excited for you all to dive into the App's newest tutorial, a 35 minute follow along dance flow warmup with our dear Coach Hannah. This is an absolute favorite of mine & I hope you all enjoy it too.
Also, it's been 6 months since our last shoulder mount check-in, so the time has come :) Many of you have communicated to me that it's helpful to have an "invert" check in & a shoulder mount "check in" to help you strengthen and/or achieve these moves. There is a lot of shoulder mount content on the App, so I've included several videos depending on what you feel like tackling this week:
Shoulder Mount Tutorial
Beginner Intermediate Shoulder Mount Band Conditioning
Intermediate Advanced Shoulder Mount Band Conditioning
Shoulder Mount flip (from seated)
Shoulder Mount shapes (silent)
We're looking forward to seeing your posts and stories on Instagram & here in the App's Community Feed! You can also add me as a collaborator to your Instagram posts :))

Hi all! I want to do both the gym program and flexibility twice a week, and was wondering if it works for anyone to do both trainings on one day. And if you do so, do you do flexibility first or the weights first? And is it okay or too intense to do both? My plan is to kind of to both of them in one go in the evening after work, would like to hear some thoughts and/or experiences on this!


Hello!
I have a rather solid shouldermount (from the ground, I do not have it in aerial) and I master my shoulderdismount. However, I would like to be able to integrate a nice shoulderdismount in my combos, and so hold a nice shoulder position, with a game of legs, before putting my feet on the ground. This is not the case currently: I make my shoulderdismount but I put my feet directly on the ground because my buttocks go down too fast.
In video, my current shoulderdismount.
In the photo, an example of a shoulder pose that I would like to hold while descending. I can do it from the ground, but not after a shoulderdismount.
Do you have any tips?
I hope to be clear. Thank you 🙏🏻
