Ok, I’ve watched all the janeiro videos multiple times. I’m thoroughly warming up my back, hip flexors, and obliques. I know the steps; handstand brass, lower inside arm to create the shelf, engage your core, squeeze the $100 bill between your booty cheeks, thrust your hips, lower the leg to the shelf (but keep it lifted and booty/inner thighs squeezed), and veryyyy slowly release the top leg. But every time, I FALL OUT!!! There was ONE time when I was able to release the top leg and start to lower it without falling out right away, but I have no idea what I did differently. Stephanie Tallant is this one of those things that I just have to keep trying, or am I missing something?????

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

Coach Tiana, I have a question specifically for you!! 🤩When I’ve being doing core workouts recently, I noticed that when I think about engaging my lats, my abdominal muscles seems to engage more too. For example, I’ve noticed this with hollow body holds. Is this is my head, or is there something real happening here? Thank you!!!!

Hellllooooooo Stephanie Tallant !!! My friend Alyx and I are embarking on a doubles adventure this summer!! Do you have any muscle engagement tips for moves like this, where we completely support one another? Additionally, do you have any off the pole strengthening exercises you or Coach Tiana recommend?? We’re considering doing a doubles routine at a comp in September, so now’s the time to train!!!! Thanks friend ❌⭕️
