There are a lot of factors that can affect your flexibility on a day to day basis, from things like hydration level, to literally even time of day! (Apparently people are usually more flexible around 2-4pm, though I find evenings in general are my most flexible time).
I'd definitely agree that some days are better than others, myself. And it does seem a bit odd that you can feel you're getting far further into the suppine stretch, say, but then your split is nowhere near as good as the day before. I think it's my hip flexor that varies the most, and it's hard to be scientific with how far you're stretching that on the Karate stance etc, whereas the suppine one is a bit easier to gauge progress on.

Well they do say getting involved in a sport or society is a good way to meet people when you move to a new area… Certainly seems that way with pole! 😀
I look forward to meeting up some time!

Great, a "pole jam" sounds like fun, though I might need a while to learn a couple of moves first https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Well I seem to have fluy achey joints, so not sure I'll be joining in, but I thought I might eavesdrop, by way of seeing how it all works 🙂

I had a go at these stretches, and struggled with the supine bit even though I could reach my leg. Didn't seem to be able to actually relax into the stretch. I substituted that for sitting up with one leg stretched out and the other out to the side, bent at the knee with the sole of the foot close to the extended leg, then leaning forwards holding stretched leg. Not quite the same hip positioning so might not be a great substitute, but quite easy to do a PNF type stretch like that.
I'll be jumping on this thread properly in a few weeks once I've moved house, as at the moment, things are too hectic to get round to stretching every day.

Fallowfield (studentville, I hear). Are you nearby?
A couple of lessons does sound very sensible, though I'm not really in a fit state to make the most of a course at the moment: I'd probably be too tired to do anything but watch after about 2 minutes! But not injuring yourself is an important consideration obviously.
Thanks, I'm really excited about all this, can't wait to get started. Currently vexed that I didn't have means to measure the ceiling height, and pretty sure it's over 9', so can't get my pole ordered in advance.
Pole buddy sounds fun, and it's always good to meet new people when you move. Save me being too much of a pest to my limited number of aquaintances in the area https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
