Gotcha!  You can also come to a regularly scheduled class for a trial rate of $30/ class if that works better for you both!

Hi MissPriss,  

Awakenings Pole Dance Fitness actually has two studio locations: one in Manayunk (which does have a parking lot that only costs $2.50 or street parking is also available) and also King of Prussia (which has a designated free parking lot).  Both studios are convenient and the Manayunk studio boasts 12ft poles.  I happen to own Awakenings so let me know if I can be of any help to you in planning your Philly stop!  I love to meet fellow Veeners!

Pantera will be in Philly at Awakenings in only 3 weeks! We are so excited to have her back as she is a phenomenal pole instructor! Local Tristate area Veeners don’t miss out. There are only 9 spots total available in all the workshops! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

I watched the video, and I think she was just starting to laugh again. It sounded like she was doing a rasberry thing with her mouth as she started to laugh. I don’t think she would have given permission to post that video if she really ripped one…just sayin’. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

This is the most entertaining thread I have read so far. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I also thought that I may be one of a few women who experience these embarrasing events while poling. I have actually had a conversation about it with my male OB/GYN
(that was awkward) because I was starting to avoid certain activities like Yoga because I found that certain yoga inverts were almost guaranteed to cause the dreaded "queef" and they aren’t playing any music in Yoga like we do in pole classes to "cover up" my sound effects. My doctor suggested Kegels, and if that doesn’t help, inserting a tampon before these activities. I have not tried the tampon trick, but it makes sense. No more vacuum when you invert…jeez what a strange thing to say! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

It seems that everyone has agreed that you don’t want to miss an Amber Richard workshop if you can make it to one. Well, if you happen to be on the East Coast, or willing to travel to Philly, Amber will be presenting workshops at Awakenings Pole Dance Fitness studio in King Of Prussia (just outside the city limits and close to the main highways). She will be offering group workshops on July 31 and August 1 as well as offering duets/private classes. There will be a variety of workshops offered including strength and flexibility, an advanced workshop and a mixed level workshop that any level pole enthusiast will benefit from. For more information and to register you need to go to http://www.awakeningspolefitness.com to the workshop page!

[dancinonair]

Hey Angel,
Just saw you posted the Jamilla info for me first! So funny, I actually tried to do it on Thursday but was having issues with my internet connection so I couldn’t get back to it before now! Thanks pole sista’! Hope you are going to come up for a few of these. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I used to get really queasy working on the spinny mode as well! What I have found that helps me is wearing Sea-Bands. They are wrist bands that use acupressure to alleviate motion sickness and nausea. You can find them at most drug stores along with the motion sickness meds or behind the counter. I actually wore them for morning sickness during both of my pregnancies. Between the bands and just pacing my workouts and alternating between spinning and non-spinning modes, I really haven’t had a problem. Hope this helps!!!

[dancinonair]

Your very welcome! I hope you can join us for this amaaaazing opportunity! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif
