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:

1. Poisson (inside leg on pole) - first picture

2. Reverse Poisson (but what I always think of when I hear poisson...outside leg on pole) - 2nd picture

3. 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!!

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! 🎉

Huge shoutout to long time subscriber, Josephine Edith Graabæk (she's been a subscriber to my program since August 2022 😍)!! An amazing testament to hard work, dedication, consistency, and focusing on the overall long term journey!! I'm so proud of you Josephine and grateful to have had you, your influence, and your inspiration in this program for so long! Keep up the beautiful work!

Your Weekly Challenge! REVIEW TIME! 

June 3rd - Extended Butterfly & Poisson (+ variations)

June 10th - Inverts on static & spin | "Pretty" invert to leg hook | Invert Conditioning

June 17th - Laybacks (& variations including crescent)

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 two or three moves from this month and try to make a combo!!

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!!
