Hehe that’s the curse with me and it never fails – as soon as you say something, it happens.
Half the time I just say something from the start so I don’t waste my time trying for so long! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Ditto to Veena – 1) post a vid 2) practice from the floor.
What I used to do was get in the invert and slide down until the top of my shoulders were resting on the floor, just enough to take a bunch of my weight but not enough to damage my neck in the process. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif Then I would keep my legs in the same position and just hold myself there. That way I was getting myself comfortable in that position leg-wise, could get a feel for where exactly the pole needed to rest between my knees and thighs, and I could work on strengthening my legs. Plus the slow sliding that is bound to result helped me get used to pole burn and eventually make my skin used to it do I don’t get it at all!
I have to go back to this to learn to invert from my left side. If I manage to even kick my outside leg up without doing it wrong and crashing my ribs into the pole, I usually keep trying to switch my legs as if I were still inverted on the other side! So I need to get accustomed to it from the other side before I fall and hurt myself…
Good luck and let’s get a vid up! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Awww thanks for that, Veena. I’ve kinda beat myself up for how I look after I had my girl, and even though I know I look a heck of a lot better than most people do before they have kids. I have tiny little boobs that have managed to sag slightly from the breastfeeding, and I have some looser skin around my tummy. My stomach was perfectly flat before baby, and it probably would be if not for that loose skin. I managed to keep my belly ring, but am often afraid to even show it off because to me, anyway, I look horrible. I catch myself in the mirror when I’m pole dancing and wish I still have my flat tummy and the stretch marks on my hips weren’t there…
But then again, I have to remember how much of a tax it is on the body to be pregnant. Your entire torso’s worth of organs are re-arranged and your stomach sticks out further than anything on your body, not to mention what x-number of months worth of inactivity from the pregnancy and the months afterwards of even more of it from taking all your time taking care of the baby! It’s actually amazing how resilient the human body actually is to the whole process!
Lots of people jeer that I have no room to talk about thinking I don’t look good – "Look at you, you’re a twig!" which may be true, but it’s not what I used to be and the change is depressing. But, I look at my daughter and I know it was worth it. It’s the price of motherhood. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

It’s ok for venting – if you can’t vent here, where else could you???
What kind of pole do you use??? If it’s titanium or brass or something maybe that could be why the spins are so difficult. If it’s not and it’s chrome or something, then I would suggest maybe just prepare for a dizzy fest! Just walk around the pole and just randomly spin around the pole- no form in particular, just focusing on getting your momentum around the pole. And without seeing any videos I’m just taking a stab in the dark here, but do you jump on the pole to spin, or wrap your legs around it??? One thing I had to learn to do was make sure to swing that outside leg out and around the pole then pull your inside leg up behind you. Actually jumping may stop the momentum. Like I said, I’m not sure, need to see a vid… But you could try just walking around the pole for a long time, going into a fireman spin or something, then getting back up and keeping going. Who knows, you may stumble into it and have one of those "ah-ha!" moments.
It’s just an idea, it may or may not work for you… (or maybe you’ve already tried it, I dunno)

You’re lucky that you have more than one pole, though. You can pick more than one name! My problem is narrowing the search, so I’d be good to go if I had more than one pole because I wouldn’t have to pick just one name! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_jokercolor.gif
I’d say name your favorite pole/the one you use the most the name you like the best, or pick a more "user-friendly" name for that one. Because when you have a friend, you tend to give that friend a pet name and it’s generally shorter. Your fav pole is like your best friend, right? So I think it would make sense to have a more practical name for that one. In this case that would be the 45mm, right?
I would say the 50mm-12 ft. one warrants a more profound name. Not only do you use it not as much, but it’s huge! Someone else named their pole Balthasar or something like that which is a really heavy name, and a name along those lines I think would be good for that pole.
That’s my 2 cents, I hope I helped get you thinking. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

SO basically we should be thanking Henry and your husband’s asshole ex-boss for Studio Veena? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

Lol Veena! I’ll see if I can come up with a list for you… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

YAY!!! Splits are on my list, too, I just have to start religiously stretching… but it’s nice to see someone who got it after working at it themselves! Congrats! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I have textured ceilings, too, except they’re a type of ceiling board (darn mobile homes!) instead of the plaster-y stuff that you appear to have. You shouldn’t have any problems, it looks pretty smooth. Just when you’re tightening the adjuster screw on the pole don’t let the dome spin against the ceiling or anything like that. And if the stuff isn’t very solid, it may make some crinkling noises when you’re doing the final tightening on the pole.
