SV March Challenge

Veena · 2015-02-22T19:12:26+00:00

This months daily challenge is Back Arch March! #SVbackarch. This means back mobility is the name of the game! You will find a mix of Stretches, floor work, and Pole work that all utilize or improve back mobility. Don't stress if you are not flexible, just do your best. Also don't push, this is a lot of back bending so listen to your body. If you are not familiar with back bending check out my stretching lessons here before you start! https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/stretching-exercises Remember this is a mix of levels and for the most part the month will become progressively challenging, working our way up to a full Bridge! If you don't use Instagram no worries, simply join in by uploading to the site! When uploading to studioveena be sure to use the term CHALLENGE in the title so the video will automatically be listed in with all of the challenges making them easy to find. Feel free to post to your own Facebook page to share with friends if you like as well. Thank you AllysonKendal for making the creative for the challenge, and putting up with my brain farts! Here's how to join in: 1. Follow myself on this SV thread, Instagram or our Facebook page 2. Re-post the image below to your IG or social media 3. #Tag and share with Pole friends who may want to participate!! 4. Warm up and share your clips with us on SV, Instagram or FB! 5. If you can't mange to post daily try uploaded a few days or a week at a time here on SV! 6. I will post an example of each move the evening before on Instagram, Facebook and twitter. Remember to check out the lesson link for a full breakdown!!! Lesson links for moves can be found in this thread an on my Facebook page and Twitter. Enjoy, and thanks for playing!

Day 30! 🌈 Closed Scorpio http://instagram.com/p/01CK4xJAeb/ This Elite level move requires a high level of flexibility and control, please do the Scorpio if a close variation is not in your body vocabulary yet!

Ahem... Little bit of catch up. https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/551917e4-a894-423f-9b34-1aae0a9aa0eb "Ballerina", Day 15 (I think, it's more twisted than normal, but the only variation I can do.) https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/551917eb-8ec0-4355-ad40-1aae0a9aa0eb Backbend, Day 17 https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/551917f2-7f08-4343-94c1-1aae0a9aa0eb Butterfly, Day 19 https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/551917fa-8280-46ec-b943-19d20a9aa0eb Layback, Day 24 https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/55191802-c184-45c8-bd54-19d20a9aa0eb Camel, Day 27 https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/5519180a-fa1c-41ae-81f7-1acd0a9aa0eb Figurehead, Day 28 And a Video: https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/55191834-fb64-439b-a068-1aae0a9aa0eb Corkscrew, Day 26 Yep, still a few missing. Was feeling waaaay too dead yesterday for things like Eros or Allegra... Janeiro and Closed Scorpio are still a big "nope". xD And for the others I need to revisit the lessons. Well, I can do a reverse grab, but it's not pretty.

Day 31! 🌈 #SVbackarch - Back Bend! Thank you to everyone who has supported these challenges, it makes the time and effort all worth it! 💜Thank you to those who have played along! 👯 March is a rough month for me, as I have lost both a sister and father in March at different times. I know if they could see my progress now, they would be proud! This may seem silly but I am adding these emoji's, a rainbow to represent my sister 🌈 the cow, for my dad who's passion was farming 🐄.

Beautiful backbend, Veena. Very impressive spinal mobility with an incredibly even curvature. Great motivation! I'm sorry to hear of your recent loss. I trust movement has helped somewhat. Thank you for hosting this challenge. I was not able to participate regularly due to injury and final exams and whatnot, but I was very inspired to try many of the moves that I hadn't even thought to attempt yet. I really love this site and the many types of support it offers 💗

I had to take my boots off at the bus stop 😛 not the best backbend I've ever done, but it's ok for a quick pic. Day 31: http://instagram.com/p/05iEGzDLEu/

https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/551b2ad9-6370-434a-90d6-24030a9aa0eb Day 31 :) Finally one on the actual challenge day (well more or less, it's after midnight here, but still March in America... xD). Taken after an hour of back stretching. I'm not very good at this yet (I think it's more the hip flexors than the back), but I really do want to improve it. :D Allyson, love yours, such a nice background. :)
