Stunning babe!! You're so inspiring! Thanks so much for posting 😊🙏

Sounds good! Keep us posted!

Hiii Cleimp!

Yes this makes perfect sense! I have a couple things in mind for you. I plan to film a little video of this too, to help you understand even more. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you have resistance bands? I think it'll be helpful to practice the decent into this shape with a band (on static). It's a lot tougher to descent into this shape vs lift up into it, so I think a band will help give you a little support to help your body understand what it's supposed to do. Does this make sense?

(also, I apologize for being late on this response. Can you do me a favor & tag me next time pretty please! I look at this feed daily, but sometimes I miss things. If I'm tagged, I receive an email 😊) Thank youuu!

Hi Nina! Good question! Different things will work for different people so just keep in mind that you might have to do some experimenting to figure out what feels best to your body :)) For me personally, I like to do my weights first and then stretching after. This order feels really good for my body. I don't think there's necessarily a right or wrong. Coach Tiana do you have any thoughts on this?

yassss!! Okay so if you start with your butt a little closer to the pole, it might help you land closer to the pole as well (you'll have more time to bring your legs inwards before they hit the ground).

Hii Michelle!! Thinking about you as you navigate this difficult time of life <3 I'm happy to see that you were able to squeeze in a few attempts of shoulder mounts (with pointed toes! yay). Thanks so much for sharing your video here. Put a smile on my face!!

Hiii Susan! I got you. I filmed this for Elena Martelli and it looks like the exact same cues with help you too: https://youtube.com/shorts/_EM191Uqx2k?feature=share

SO hyped about this!!! I know you've worked so hard for this and continue to do so. A huge accomplishment! Congratulations Corrie!!

Hi beautiful! Fear is totally normal, bc it's our bodies way to keep us safe :)) Like Corrie mentioned, I think moving slowly can have a really powerful impact on fear. So thinking less about getting 'TO' the move, but more about working 'TOWARDS' the move. The more comfortable your body becomes with the "floor k" movement pattern, the less fear. 

Also, in this specific video, it looks like you might feel more balanced with hand a little closer to the pole and other hand a little higher on the pole. Also remember that once you get into the "position", the chest needs to move forward (deep shoulder stretch) as the leg moves back bc those two things create a counter balance.

I'm just attaching this tutorial here for others that might see this move and want to try it :)

Woohoo!! So happy to hear! 🙏
