Principles of Movement: Best Way to Take Course?

Posted by Eve on May 17, 2021 at 9:44 am

Hey everyone! I have no pole experience but I signed up for the Movement class to start building strength/flexibility in general (& maybe want to try pole/aerial yoga in the future).

I’m kind of a beginner, but it’s a 6 week course — are you meant to take each lesson once, and take two lessons a week? (e.g. week 1- take lesson 1 on a monday and lesson 2 on a wednesday)? Or are the classes meant to be repeated (e.g. week 1- do lesson 1 every day mon-wed and lesson 2 every day thurs-sat)?

I’ve been repeating lessons because I’m scared of moving onto a lesson I’m not ready for/can’t do, but I’m not sure if I’m just holding myself back and completing it more slowly than it was intended, or overpracticing.

Hi Eve! These are great questions. We’re actually working with Mari right now on a FAQ and How-To guides that should give you a comprehensive answer. ????

Did this ever get answered? I am not a beginner, but I can’t do most of these exercises. Is there a remedial version?

  Have a look at the “Training Advice” videos with Mari: https://uni.polepress.com/courses/principles-of-movement/lessons/training-advice/
  
  Many may not be able to do the exercises on the first try. Always try to work on some of them. But not the whole catalog! Give yourself time and try it over and over again. Many of the exercises can be easily integrated into everyday life. For example, the one for the wrists.:)
