I actually heard something regarding this on a medical talk show a few days ago. They were talking about how to reduce cramping pain and said that you shouldn't invert if you have bad cramps – that it would make them worse.

I'm currently working on the Iron X, the Phoenix, and the Russian Splits. 🙂

I calculated mine based on my calorie counter app. I am 118 lbs and do 90 minute advanced level classes. I broke it down int he app as 15 minutes of stretching/yoga, 15 minutes of light calethsenics, 30 minutes of heavy calethsenics, and 30 minutes of dance (fast-paced). When I added up the calories burned from those activities it came up to 213 calories. Of course, this is a very personal estimate as not everyone's classes are the same but you can use your app the same way! 🙂

Yeah, I don't think the hotel shuttle will take me that far! 😉

I've never done a formal yoga class – just done a couple of DVDs but I really like "Yoga for Regular Guys". It's athletic and doesn't focus on the meditation part. That's why I like it so much….the internal part of some styles just isn't my thing.

Oh, love this topic! Can't wait to see everyone's favorite combos and try them out!
I do this one quite a bit:
Side Climb > Knee Hold > Shooting Star > Cloud 9 (no hands shooting star) > Superman > Hip Hold > Jade > Flatline Scorpio
Or I'll change it up after the Superman like this:
Dove > Figurehead > Aerial Shoulder Mount > Brass Monkey > Eros > Brass Monkey Sit Up > Pole Sit > Drop into splits
I need to learn the Veena Tumble so I can do that after the Pole Sit!

I saw those guns you’re sporting! Must have been the slippery pole. 😉

C’mon Sparrow, I can do this so I KNOW that you are strong enough to do it!

Add Pole Dance Community's syllabus to that list. They've got some unique moves on there (and, unfortunately, call some things by names other than the standard) but it's still a good resource.

Ideally, I'd have at least 6' of space all around the pole but you can get away with less. I have 4 1/2' around mine now which means no straddling into reverse grab and being careful of where I start my handspring.
But hooping requires much more space than poling if you want to dance while hooping or do a lot of off-body stuff with it. There's a move where you hook your hoop on your foot and bring it around your back to pass to your hand – that requires around 6' and doesn't give you much play. Personally, bare minimun I'd want for hooping is a 10'x10' space and I think I'd still feel too boxed in. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

Is the Remi Extreme the same as the Remi Backbend? If so, there's a picture of it in my profile.

It does get better though. 🙂

I don't get the rub that you're talking about but did have it rubbing over my collarbone when doing the move with a double cup grip. I think I was pressing my shoulder into it longer than I should have been.
I finally got this move down to a point that I'm comfortable with it last night and was doing it with the Veena/safe grip. That grip made me feel secure enough that I didn't press into the pole too hard and kept it from rubbing my collarbone. Maybe try that grip?
Leg positioning is something that I'll be playing with to see what I prefer but I'm with you – I think Marlo's way looks very pretty!

Awesome! This is a combo that 's been on my "to do" list for a while now and your video may be just the motivator I need to try it out. 🙂

Empyrean, please thank your husband for his time in the response. I will be sure to call or submit the form before we make any decision in how payment will happen.
