Hi everyone. I’m from CT too. I’ve been looking for some classes in CT, no luck at all.

OMG !!! HollyWood — You are looking for classes now ???? Did you close your studio ????? What happened ??????

[Judy Jovanelly]

AMEN AMEN AMEN TO THAT WONDERFUL WOMAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Being that I started poling way later than most o’ you’s I am soooooooooo happy to see this !!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

i find that lotioning every morning after my shower doesn’t inhibit my ability to stick to the pole at all, because i usually pole hours later in the early evening…. the only time i won’t lotion is if i’ve showered and have a pole class within a couple hours. i use a variety of lotions, but mostly the oil of olay thirst quencher stuff works well for me.

[Judy Jovanelly]

this makes me so mad ! certainly there should be a spotter around if people are inverting, but trena, you are right — that girl knew she wasn’t strong enough, so why did she invert in the first place ???? this is how rates for insurance, classes, gym memberships, etc go up !! people who have no business engaging in a particular sport or activity go and do it, get hurt, and then sue. grrrrrrrrrrrrr https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumbdown.gif

[Judy Jovanelly]

i, like lilbit, started at 51, 6 months ago – i will be 52 in a couple weeks. i am a complete addict, and simply amazed at the fact that i can do ANYTHING on a pole https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif !!!!

[Judy Jovanelly]

i was asking around in the forums about poles, and user Empyrean mentioned them as a good pole….. i think the threads are somewhere in the pole forums…. i remember going to the site. as poles go, they are a bit more expensive than others….

[Judy Jovanelly]

hi amy,

coming from a former dancer with a bunch of performances under my belt from way back when, i say go for it. you can always pull out if you hit a point that goes against your grain.

besides, — if you don’t, you will probably wonder if you woudla/shoulda/coulda. plus — you just never know who else you might meet thru this event that will become someone important or influential in your pole career.

godspeed my dear !

[Judy Jovanelly]

also – you mention even things you have already accomplished feel different, and that you’re getting tired…. have you changed anything in your diet? has anything else in your life changed — more stress, less sleep? sometimes that stuff will impact how your workouts go… just a thought….
maybe just focus on having fun with your pole for a while, and then go back to the serious stuff after maybe a week ?

[Judy Jovanelly]

Hi Empy,

Yes, permanent is what I am looking for. A mount that allows the poles to swing up and out of the way would be IDEAL, as we are starting conservatively with our space.

I plan to phone both XPole and PS, to see what they have to say, but I’m also very interested to hear what all the Veena users think, too. Clientele’s preference, if you will….

[Judy Jovanelly]

i’m down the other end, between bridgeport and new haven…. but i know stonington well — have a very good friend who used to live in westerly, and is now in voluntown….. too bad we’re not closer !! have you found anyplace to take classes out your way ?

[Judy Jovanelly]

HI !!! i’m in CT too, and boy polers seem to be pretty RARE here !!!! what part of the state are you in ????

[Judy Jovanelly]

mrsC thank you ! it does make sense ! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

[Judy Jovanelly]

thank you velvet ! yes, tons of cuties ! my hubby was voting for some of the newer entries who only had a couple votes. he felt so bad for them and they are so so cute https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

[Judy Jovanelly]

thank you JC. besides my hubby, he is my favorite man https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif such a good little guy !

[Judy Jovanelly]

me n fur-boy thank you ! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

[Judy Jovanelly]

i think it IS the leg swing on the side i can’t do. i get walkin and thinkin and can’t work out which leg to pick up, even tho i KNOW it’s the outside one https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif makes me giggle even just thinking about it now. and yes, gotta get some vids going one of these days so you guys can critique !

[Judy Jovanelly]

me n the dog thank you !

[Judy Jovanelly]

no i didn’t see it…. did she have a shoulder issue ? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

[Judy Jovanelly]

yeah castle ! i was only one sided for a while but then one day i was at the gym lookin at myself — i wasn’t sure, but it kinda looked like the shoulder on that side was getting a different shape. THAT was enuff for me to start religiously working both sides ! can you imagine living life with one big shoulder and one puny shoulder ??? yikes !

[Judy Jovanelly]

sissy you ROCK !

[Judy Jovanelly]

so i’m not the only one with a chair problem, eh ? funny thing with me is i CAN do it on one side, (not as well as i’d like, for sure) but when it comes to reversing it to the other side, my body is completely clueless. mind just goes right out the window…. silly ! then i get silly and start giggling…… sigh. one day….. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

[Judy Jovanelly]

good luck lovey ! we will all be pulling (poling) for you !!

[Judy Jovanelly]

gonna go get the credit card now, and buy my very first pair of platform shoes ! wheeeeeee !
