I am not new to Studio Veena at all but I am new to the Pittsburgh area. I also have taken a year hiatus and I am finally able to pole again, at least until January when I have hip surgery. I have yet to find the pole community I am used to from Akron/Cleveland.
I ran Life source Yoga where I created and implemented the first aerial program in that area. I had two years of pole experience prior to that and I taught for about 4 years. While I loved pole and teaching I ran myself ragged. I taught to much, didn't listen to my body, and ended up with a partially detached right upper pectoral and a torn labrum in my hip that caused a cam impingement. I am not even going to mention the minor injuries in my wrist, shoulders, and neck or the lack of motivation, support, and self confidence from a toxic relationship. I was stuck in a limbo and never really progressed past my intermediate level.
Fast forward a year later I have moved to a different state, will have surgery on my hip in Jan, my chest is healed, and I am in the most fabulous and motivating relationship I could imagine.My pole is up and I kicked my ass with just a warm-up I would use in a beginners class. Needless to say I have been humbled. I would like to take the next year working on me and my pole. I have been offered by 3 different gyms to start up a program and was offered a job at one studio. While I will keep them in mind and filed in the back of my brain, I pole for me. I need to get back to that. It also is not fair to introduce pole to students and take it away for 7 months after my surgery.
So in short I want to find a community and people to pole with. possibly expanding on my contacts for performances when my hip is better, and just pole.
Namaste,
Dino

Can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow! Best birthday ever!!! I want to meet as many polers as I can so everyone keep an eye out. I just dyed my hair super dark brown almost mahogany so my pics may not help much and I have no clue what I’m wearing yet.

As long as you have a great instructor, like Veena, you can learn at any level even if you are more advance. Plus everyone can work on their fundamentals. I may take the class to see what I can pass on to my students and store in my own knowledge vault. Plus I’d like to pick veena and everyone else’s brain 🙂

Hey Everyone,
I will be at the Pole Expo with several of my fellow Cleveland Polers. I decided I want to meet as many of my fellow polers as possible and I have a feeling many of you feel the same. So I had a crazy idea to gather everyone's info and send it to each other. That way we can meet up for lunch, drinks, pole parties in our room, know other people in our workshops, or w/e. If you agree you can send the info to j.l.lotus87@gmail.com I will put it all together and send it out a couple days before the expo. Here is the information I was thinking add more if you would like.
Name Jessie (aka J.L.Lotus)
Cell or Email if you have a smart phone (ill send it in the email)
What hotel you are staying in The Palms
what workshops you are taking. So far Zoraya & Marlo's ass class. I will be signing up for more
Where you from: Akron
Cant wait to see you all!

If they did open an East Coast Office, say in Ohio, I would totally work for them.

If you are scared or your body is hesitant there is typically a logical reason for it. To get my students into one handed spins we break it down into steps.
First step:
Mastering the spin it's self on both sidesSecond step:
unwrapping the bottom fingers
Third Step:
Taking that bottom/lower hands fingers straight and rotating the wrist so fingers go up the pole. I then have them push away with the their hand on the pole.Fourth Step:
Starting of two handed but mid spin releasing the hand down
Fifth Step:
Going into it one handed.
Now each spin is different. Spins on the pole are going to be a bit easier and more secure feeling then ones on the side of the pole. Typically the bottom hand is nothing more than a security blanket as the top hand holds a majority of the weight. make sure you are doing both arms and taking the spins in step. Maybe you feel like you will fling off the pole one handed. I did with flying body spiral. so first I practiced chair, then getting my hips in front, then baby hops, then little swings, then I would go for it.
I hope this helps!
