Why thank you! What brought you here? I’ve been here since October

Thank you so much! And I’m sorry that happened to you. I appreciate your support and bravery! it means the world to us!
In an unrelated vein. I see you reside in Mountian View! That’s too cool. I just moved to Cupertino -
I am so sorry that happened to you 🙁 Its an experience that no on should have to go through. Thank you so much for taking the time to read it! Some people’s receptions to this have been less than favorable

Ellie has some inexpensive six-inch boots that are stable to walk in.

This has been quite the interesting read, and I have learned a lot just from looking at other people’s responses! Regardless of whether we think dressing in a certain way is degrading to a particular culture, I think it would be useful to examine why the thought of people getting offended can send us (and I use us in a general fashion) into almost defensive mode. instead of trying to say hmmm…I don’t think so, but why would someone feel that way..we (again loosely used) are quick to say well some group will always been offended son that’s that. I find myself doing it a lot actually and then I’m like woah just completely dismissed the notion that I could have hurt someone and now instead am trying to make myself feel better. and maybe I was offensive and maybe I wasn’t, but then why am I so quick to shy away from that possibility? Just some thoughts.

They also make me be super mindful of my feet. Nothing sticks out more than an unpointed foot with an additional 8 inches hanging off of it!

So I finally got this move last thursday! I found this tutorial to be rather helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbGtoovvuvE
Another thing that I think helps is to really think about engaging the upper back and not just leave it all to the lower pack. When I think about my upper back and shoulders and engaging them it makes it so much easier to stick. Hope that helps! -
Thanks Phoenix! 😀 I definatley learned that lesson the hard way. And then when I finally stuck to one thing, I found that in one month I made more gains than in six months of random flitting about! it was such a concept to me!

I too have really struggled with flexibility particularly in my legs. I found I would start one thing, then switch to another routine when I didn’t see the results as quickly as I wanted. what I’ve learned is that your body rewards consistency. Keep at it and do what you can even if it seems like small steps. Some people’s bodies like mine, just don’t move as quickly as other people’s do but on the bright side that makes every little victory sweeter. I would also pay attention to the muscle groups around the muscle that seems to be tight and give those some extra attention as well. so for example when my hamstrings are tight I engage my quads when I’m stretching them and think of them working in tandem. Best of luck and don’t worry if the going is slower than you think it ought to be. 🙂

Most excellent!! I’ll be sure to keep my eyes out for those! and sadly my body seems to be telling me that twisted grip lifting is not in my future, but it’s not the end of the world! Pole has so many alternatives!

Ooh thank you Sabina, that video was quite helpful! I like the breakdown and the progression of the positioning. Haha wish I spoke Russian, but I think I get the gist.

Thank you all so much for the tips! I have seen the Shimmy video and I found it to be quite helpful. I think my biggest problem comes with focusing everything on the ceiling. I can get my chest turned up and one leg almost crunched up but that’s all.
And thank you Veena! I’ll be sure to hit the gym and target those muscles! And in will minimize my attempts. I usually only do three or four attempts per 1 hour session. Part of the reason I prefer cup grip is because my wrists lack the flexibility to lift from twisted grip so doing safely is a big concern. What would you recomend for for working on rotoation?
