I'm a nurse and for the longest time it was never an issue. I got a new job working for a religious institution and suddenly it became an issue. I deleted my youtube because of it. I never thought I'd be one of those people working at a job where it was a problem that I pole danced for my gym activities. My boss was really open with me and told me she personally did not think it was a problem but she wasn't so sure how others in the company would feel and wanted me to know that my youtube channel link was emailed to her by an administrator. How they found it is beyond me and she said she had no idea where they came across it. The whole ordeal just turned out to be creepy and I decided it was in my best interest to eradicate my channel's existence.

The Xstage Lite is still available as well as the Lil Mynx. Both are on craigslist. Please contact via craigslist as the xstage is owned by my friend.

#1, #3, & #4 are all chrome. I may have buyers for all but the Lil Mynx at this point. The Lil Mynx is a black powder coated pole that ranges from 8′ to 9′ ceilings.

I never use them anymore. I'm keeping my 45mm though. It's the only one I use when I do pole.

I do a form of stretching in my warm ups which is dynamic stretching. I use it as a limbering or movement rehearsal. If any stretches are held and appear static, it is only for 5 seconds at the most. I save all my flexibility work for post-work outs. This is where I'm able to achieve greater results in my stretching because my muscles are already warmed up and more pliable. Stretching in this phase does not include over-stretching/straining. You should never feel pain during these stretches, it should be just to a point of feeling tension. When I refer to stretching as preventing injuries, I'm referring to using stretching to detox specific muscles that were used more during a workout. This prevents my muscles from getting tight and sore the next day. That's just my personal experience with stretching and flexibility work for the pole.

I get mine from sallys Euronext clip in 18" dark brown. Works good for me.

I was trying this move from that video PFM posted and it didn't work for me either. I'm still working on this one too. I'll have to post a progress video soon. hml888 you should post a progress video too.

Congrats! Would love to see pics of the studio!

Contortion creeps me out- I like pretty lines but there's a fine line between beautiful flexibility and OMG WTH are you doing I hope you don't break! And any crotch shots that are point blank WHAM here's my goods! Not a fan of those moves. And what's with all the butt floss lately? My facebook page is full of pole related butt floss pics. I don't mind peek-a-boo cheeks but when did it become the trend to thong it up? Literally. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I prefer to dress modestly on the pole compared to what I've been seeing lately.

Have you discussed this with your doctor? I think you should to your doctor about this as it is limiting your ability for activities. Your doctor will be able to recommend the appropriate treatment to prevent injury.
-
Also keep in mind that some people are genetically more prone to flexibility than others. Every body is different- literally.

I do believe Infinity Aerial offers pole, silks, and aerial hoop. They are located in Columbus, OH.

I blog about all things related to fitness/pole. I've seen people just write about their goals and how far they've come to achieving the goals. I've also seen pole vlogs- which are videos documenting progress. It's really all about what you want to write about or film as your journal is your own documented progress more for you and to be able to look back upon and see your progress. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Some of you noted that lessons at 1k were for 5-8 hour lessons. I'd like to just say that any lesson for this duration, no matter how advanced you are, seems like a bad idea and a recipe for injury. It just seems negligent of a trainer to one on one an individual for this long. Advanced students are still prone to injuries, if not more because they are more likely to put themselves into riskier situations due to their competitive nature and desire to get the most from their experience. Every one on one situation I've encountered, the material moves faster than a traditional class format and a lesson 5 hours or more I would expect to work just the same. Over use injuries are very serious and long private lessons just seem to be a great way to acquire one or many of these.

1K seems pretty high! Someone must think highly of themselves! With those prices, I'm going to have to decline in feeling/thinking the same about them. I thought anything more than $50 USD was a lot when it came to workshops…$75 or $100 for privates seems reasonable but you won't see this chick dishing out that much or booking a lesson anytime soon. I like to see my money- either hanging in my closet or on my vanity! LOL. I've taken enough workshops now to realize that half the stuff in the lesson I'm going to forget any way and there's only a few good things I'll actually take away from the experience which is hardly worth the price I initially paid. That's just me though. Most of the time, I'm good with learning old school style and I can just figure things out by watching a video and asking my time with the movement.

I started poling 5 years ago- studios were unheard of in my area. About a month of self learning, I discovered studio veena. I joined the site around the time it was first born. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
This site & community has come a LONG way since then. Some things I've learned from my own experience of self learning is ALWAYS incorporate a warm up & cool down session-no exceptions! Recording yourself and immediately reviewing your footage can be great ways to teach yourself about proper form. It's great to have a mirror but because of safety reasons you can't always watch your reflection. Do your research- my research from back in the day included youtube videos: dissecting every movement of a dancer's form, posture, hand placement, foot placement, body direction, aerial alignment, etc. thos was very time consuming but making sure you take your time in learning and execution is so important. Learn to utilize stop, pause, & rewind options of video playback over and over again so you can take notes and break down movements piece by piece working on the ground then moving slowly up the pole. Don't be afraid to ask questions and post a video of yourself performing a move when you hit a roadblock. I've been very fortunate to have tips from some of the best known pole artists/instructors from around the world in Pole Chat Friday through web cam conferencing. These sessions have helped me progress in moves that once were far fetched dreams of mine. Also- educate yourself about proper shoulder positioning! I see so many women on the pole with hunchy shoulders and not engaging their proper muscles, it makes me cringe as when you don't have proper shoulder positioning you're setting yourself up for injury which can inevitably become a chronic injury you will spend years struggling with that results in pain and range of motion restrictions. Hope some of these tips help.

This is no different than the internet dating sites where people "catfish". It's just now made it to the pole world. Most likely it's someone in a foreign country using the internet again for another scam.

Just posted my video- what's in my pole bag? Feel free to leave me a video response, I'd love to see what you all have in your bags!

I think your pole is getting too high. You shouldn't have pain in that area- keep the pole concentrated to your thighs for your grip. This move is easy to power house the pole too high and into your lady bits. It takes control to get it into the right area but with practice this is something you will develop. Just don't slam yourself into the pole.

I did a blog post about this awhile back-
https://www.studioveena.com/blogs/view/A_Pole_Dancer_Exposed_Whats_in_my_bag_20120124015450
I need to do an updated version of this! I should just make a video tag- what's in your pole bag? The ladies on youtube beauty vloggers do the what's in your bag/purse videos all the time. I think we need our own tag video here…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Is this the move you're talking about? Here I'm doing it with resting my torso on the back of my upper arm right above the elbow. I find it easy to do this with my wrist up but wouldn't advise it unless your upper body strength is strong. You're not resting your weight into the lower arm. You want to prevent stressing the wrist. Hope this helps. Notice my lower arm is at hip height which keeps my top hand and lower hand from being too far apart. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Tricia (from Pole Up) said they are REALLY good. She's supposed to let me borrow hers. That reminds me, I need to ask her about those. Good luck finding them! Have you found yourself a new pole home in WI? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
