The next trick I have my sights set on is #janeiro! Stephanie Tallant I *think* my setup is good, but I’m having trouble bringing my top leg down. I think I need to keep it closer to the pole as I lower it, do you have any cues to help this (or any other tips/suggestions)? Thank you xoxoxo

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 August 5th or click this link:

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!

Back to Jade, how do you get the inside leg off from the flatline position? I am in my waist But I feel like my inside foot is simply glued to the pole. Stephanie Tallant

Stephanie Tallant lol idk 🤷🏾♀️ I didn’t fall back yay but it doesn’t feel “good”… is the bottom arm better? Also why does my top leg feel soooooo close to the pole even after I take it off? Okay and last question when I go to make that back leg straight do I go to the back or the side? Also last thing 😅 there’s no much space to arch my upper back..

A great drill for training the active flexibility in the back leg of inverted pole splits (jade, dragontail, pegasus, etc)! It's a progression the active flexibility drill in the Jade Tutorial where your butt is on a stack of blocks! I specifically filmed this for subscriber, Vanessa, based on a question she asked me, but I hope many of you can take advantage of it. If you don't have a bench, a folded pole mat, or even a bed works great! https://youtu.be/OYqCGqI8LEA

Hi Stephanie Tallant , I'm trying to find a tutorial on the meathook. I found it in a couple of combos, but it'd be helpful to see it and get explanation from the most basic entry.
Thank you!!!
