I've received feedback that having two weeks for the challenges would be really helpful! I do agree that this will give you all more time to practice and further explore all the new (or old) things! I love feedback like this and am always here for it. Thanks students!

Videos will appear at the bottom of this post on July 15th or click this link: https://polewithsteph.com/community/posts/july-15th-two-week-challenge-flamingo-tangled-split

Your Weekly Challenge! Flamingo (upright & inverted) and/ or Tangled Split

I know... It seems like a completely random selection of two moves, BUT there's a really cool combo I love to do with Flamingo & Tangled split, so:

July 15th weekly assignment: Watch the tutorials and attempt at least 1 (or all 3.. depending on your level).

July 22nd weekly assignment: More time to improve the ones you've already tried OR time to explore the others! If you feel good with both the inverted flamingo and the tangled split, you can watch the combo demonstration that will be added to this challenge on the 22nd!

SAFETY: There are different levels included in these challenges. Please approach new moves safely. Use a crash pad if you have it or if you have a trusty spotter, that's great too. I want you all to be safe, that's my #1 priority :)) If you're unsure about the prerequisites to the moves, please feel free to ask that question in the Community Feed ("Hey Steph. I really want to try XYZ, but not sure if I should. What are some of the moves I should have before this?) and I can help you determine if a move is appropriate for you to try!

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 BOTH of 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 (photos can be posted via web and app. Videos can only be posted via the web version either using a web browser on your phone, laptop, iPad, etc). 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! 🎉

Your Weekly Challenge! REVIEW TIME! 

July 1st & July 8th: Butterfly and manyyy variations

July 15th & 22nd: Tangled Split, Flamingo (upright & inverted) & combos with other move like upright mermaid, Remi sit, and poisson

What does Review Week Mean?

-Revisit a challenge that you missed OR

-Revisit a challenge that was especially difficult for you OR

-Revisit a challenge that you freakin LOVED OR

-Pick a different move that you are already comfortable with and challenge yourself to flow in and out of it as smoothly and cleanly as possible

Why?

Often times in pole, we bounce around to the "next cool Instagram move". So I love having review weeks in my personal practice too, which gives us a chance to further connect and explore different moves and sequences that we've already done in the past. Our bodies LOVE consistency when learning new things. I hope you enjoy this week!!

Requirements:

• Click "Join"
