Scared of Letting Go of the Pole

tiffanyxco started this discussion ยท

Hi Guys, I just started poling around a month ago, and feel like I have built up a noticable amount of upper body strength since then. I have danced my whole life, but the upper part of my body was so weak until now (Thanks to Veena's lessons ๐Ÿ™‚). There's only one issue I have--and that's letting go of the pole and being upside down. When I do the pole sit, I can let go because I am upright and feel secure enough. I can't do handstands (or anything that involves throwing your weight over your head) except maybe the reverse handstand I did for a minute but nothing to write home about lol. I also attempted inverting last night, and (besides having thick yet short legs) I feel I can pull myself up the correct way, I'm just nervous about being upside down :\ Did anyone else have this issue when they first started? How did you get over it? Thanks in advance <3
