Hi Community! Elena Martelli posted a video and had some follow up questions on the forearm butterfly variation and the crucifix. I filmed and uploaded two short tutorials to my YouTube addressing both of these! I hope you, Elena, and others of you find this info helpful!

Came back to Janeiro today and wanted to share my little progress but also get extra tips from pole fairy Stephanie Tallant but also from everyone who suddenly clicked with that trick and would be willing to share what was the game changer. (Video sped up x3)

Your Weekly Challenge! Butterfly and 11 Different Variations
This week's focus is the classic Butterfly AND if you are comfortable in your butterfly, then I've presented you with 11 butterfly variations to experiment with during your training this week.
Your challenge: Watch the tutorials & then try the moves presented, as well as any other entries, exits, combos, variations, or transitions that you'd like!
STUDENTS: There are many different levels included in these variations. Please approach the one handed variation with reasonable caution. I would recommend only trying that one if you feel extremely confident with all the other variations OR you have a trusty spot to grab your hips while you figure out the balance. I just want you all to be safe, that's always my #1 priority :))
Requirements:
Click "Join"
Because there are different levels included in this challenge, you do not need to mark all videos as "watched". However please follow the other requirements
Share a picture or a video of your butterfly (or any of the variations, combos, etc) in the Community Feed at www.polewithsteph.com OR via your app. Just a screenshot is totally fine if that's all you're comfortable with!!
Share a picture or a video on Instagram and tag @stephanietallant_pole and #thebestpoleapp
Each month, there will be one randomly selected winner chosen amongst all members who complete the weekly challenge at least TWICE during the month! 🎉

Collage from last week! OMG you all are crushing it! Proud of each and every one of you!
Want to be in next week's collage? I make a weekly post where you can share your screenshot of either something from the challenge or anything else you accomplished during the week! The post for this week is coming next!
I didn’t really feel like working out, but just starting with the new compression exercises was honestly so fun and accessible because the tutorial was like 7 minutes. Everyone have 7 minutes so no excuse 😂❤️and then I was like… well I’m really warm now so might as well continue the compression stuff with a 25min flexy workout in your app 🥰 and then I wanted to do pole, and I also didn’t want to do pole, so floor K caught my attention as it was up front in the app tutorials as well hehe. And worked perfectly with compression work
So THANK YOU Steph!! for helping me and inspiring me to workout and chase my goals 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Also… Maybe this could be a fun addition to the app - a section of easy accessible fun challenges and videos to start your workout if you don’t feel like working out 😂❤️ 5-10 minute videos maybe 🥳Could be core creativity and balance challenges, maybe small mobility sessions 🤔
Filmed some videos for the new pole conditioning program starting next week!! Here’s a sneak peek! I’m excited 💪🏼 https://polewithsteph.com/categories/category-0iZpaoMwiZE EDIT: Beginning in September 2024, the Pole Conditioning Program will be released via the App. The Program will be accessible under "Programs" from the home catalog page or simply click this link to have the program open in a web browser: https://polewithsteph.com/programs/poleconditioningprogram.
This was highly requested, so I'm excited about this update!!
Hi students! Would love others thoughts on this as well because pole move names can be different depending on where and how you learned! Poisson vs reverse poisson... my understanding:
Poisson (inside leg on pole) - first picture
Reverse Poisson (but what I always think of when I hear poisson...outside leg on pole) - 2nd picture
Poisson variation (anything else that has the similar leg shape lol for example, arm behind back) - 3rd picture
Any other thoughts from you all? Please comment below!! Thanks Miriam juan for asking this great question!!
