Warm Up for Pole Fitness: Warmup A - Pole Essentials №1

This is the warm-up for the first lesson in "Pole Essentials №1," a six-week beginner online pole course with Cirque du Soleil pole artist Tara Meyer.

The Essentials №1 course is designed for two types of students:
1. 𝘉𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 – Those with less than one year of pole experience, including total beginners or those who have never trained within a structured curriculum, and
2. 𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 – Those who have been poling for more than a year, and now want to refine their technique and ensure there are no gaps in their core skills and knowledge.

Like an online college course, where the lessons are pre-recorded and everything is already set up for you. So you can start whenever you’re ready, and work through the course at your own pace.
