Hey Felisha,
I'm not a mother and I'm not married or anything but welcome to SV! I will keep my fingers crossed for your baby girl. I really hope everything will be okay.

X Pole UK are freakin' AWFUL for getting back to people. I'd be very reluctant to buy from them again given their customer care. I emailed them about 8 months back and am still awaiting a reply… don't hold your breath!

Hmmm I'm not sure if poling makes boobs smaller but I have deffo noticed that a lot of the competitive polers have a small bust. I just assumed it's because they are so lean from all the training. Personally, my boobs haven't shrunk from poling but I certainly have had many extended off periods when it comes to consistently poling so I'm probably not in a position to comment. I need to work out more! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
I am a C-cup (UK size) and I have found taking the pill made them slightly bigger but poling hasn't changed them. Maybe with more exercise I'd drop down a cup size?!

Oh My God that co-owner sounds like a nasty cow. How completely unnesscesary. I do not usually agree with saying things online that could damage people's business' but in this case your issue is not personal, it IS business so you're totally entitled to name and shame them in reviews etc. Aside from the name-calling (which should definitely warrant a disciplinary) they did mess up your order and refused a refund which you were entitled to.
Be as awkward as possible and fight these f***ers to the end! I'd HATE to join classes in a place like that. It's the exact opposite to the supportive ethos that is generally applicable in pole dancing.

This move is my nemesis! I have track of how many times I have posted here looking for help, I'm so freakin' bad at it. I recently got a little bit closer to doing it but it looks CRAP. I just can't make it look clean and pretty. Feeling seriously disheartened by this move and like you guys I feel 'stuck' because I can't do it.
Here is a pic of my most recent attempt. The pic aint glamourous and I'm sweaty and wearing slippers in it, but maybe yous can tell me where I'm going wrong? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif
Is it just needing to drop my head back? Is it my hamstring flexibility (or lack of it!) making my legs look crap? please HELP ME!! Arrrrggghhh… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif hahaha thanks!

If I can suggest as well as bio oil, try using neroli oil. It's great for the skin's elasticity. Also if any of you guys are near a Lush shop try the Therapy massage bar. It is made of cocoa butter, neroli and lavender and worked wonders on the stretch marks I had on my sides when I lost weight.
I have some unsightly new red ones on my hips now, time to shed some pounds methinks (and by some neroli products!)

Hiya Bubbles,
I started Bikram yoga a while back and found the results to be quite good however, I haven't done as many classes as I would like due to illness. But I'll give my experience of it so far.
After the second class my tummy looked considerably flatter which (as I mentioned to Sues yesterday) is probably due to all the retained water being flushed out.
In terms of flexibility, it was really good for allowing me to see how much potential I actually have. I think sometimes when it comes to flexibility (if you're like me and not flexible at all) that you can feel like it simply isn't achievable and that you're just not flexible. Well Bikram lets you stretch a whole lot more due to the heat and even that in itself shows you just how much flexibility you do have!
Like I said, I haven't had enough classes to comment on overall flexibility but stretching is certainly a bit more comfortable now, it still hurts and I still don't like it but I don't dread it like I used to and I can push my stretches a bit further too. My skin looks great and my arms became really defined very quickly! Wayhey! Good luck if you try it. I literally wanted to die during the first few classes but you feel amazing afterwards!!

Nymphdancer, did I understand your correctly, you lost 4' off your waist in 30 days?? Or was it over a period of a few months? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Either way, that's good going, I bet you feel great now!

The song from the year you were born is great. There are so many cool ones for my year, lots for Alice Cooper and Bonjovi etc hahahah that could be fun! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I'd totally do it if I could dance through a whole song! The one word idea is excellent too because it's not one exact set idea, it can literally be interpreted in dozens of different ways.

Real sorry to hear about your break up. Funnily enough I started poling to sort of reclaim myself from the damage of a bad break up. The guy was so horrible to me and it was only about a year later that I started to realise ''actually, he did treat me badly'' but by then my confidence in myself and my looks, personality, everything was so low. My weight dropped down rapidly and strands of my hair started falling out. I remember looking in the mirror and I felt like I was nothing but a shadow of myself, I could see my ribs and hated it as it was so unintentional. I started looking after myself better and eventually gave into my curiosity to try pole classes. My first class was so difficult, pole climbs and falling forward spins in the first two hours was just too intense for a beginner but it made me see how strong my body had the potential to be. One thing I instantly loved about pole was that it didn't matter one bit what you looked like or what you've been through, there were so many achievable, tiny victories to be won every single time I poled. Whether it was perfecting a new move or even just getting closer to achieving it. In a way, it refocused me on something very tangible and something I had control over. I know it's so hard right now because you probably feel like you've lost part of your own self now that he's gone but start reclaiming yourself back bit by bit. Put on your favourite shoes, turn up your favourite song and even just walk, pose, pause around the pole. I have a feeling you won't be able to keep yourself off of it once you get started. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
Keep smiling and dancing!

Wow great to see so many replies, thanks guys! Pretty much all of my questions have already been answered without me even asking https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
Is it hard to get used to using? Is it difficult to insert at first?

I just avoided moves that made my tattoos make any contact with the pole until it had healed. Within 2 weeks you'll deffo be fine again and I can't see any reason for the tattoo to stretch at all. I got a new one a few months back too. Yay for pretty tattoos! Please post some pics guys. I'd love to see https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I HAVE to interrupt here. Jenn, I seen your performance here and it was excellent. In fact, when your dance was being shown I even made a comment in chat about how much I liked your style. It really was very good and very clear that you practise a lot. Don't feel bad, feel proud 🙂

I always blamed my hips being tight for being the reason I find splits stretching so tedious but recently after taking a stretching class I discovered that it is my hamstrings that are so tight. So if any of you guys have any tips for strething very tight hamstrings, please help. I should have known the problem wasn't solely down to my hip flexors as I have had acupressure, acupuncture etc for tight and painful hamtstrings in the past. I have no clue about flexibility and stretching but I was happy to learn that my hips are actually normal! Now to sort out my hamstrings! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

''I Have placed some of these more difficult moves in beginner because they are strength builders….if you can't hold your own body weight you should not be doing spins!''
I was not critisizing you for putting it in the beginner section, I was saying I'm disappointed myself for not being able to do it. Also, in relation to holding your own body weight and spins etc, I can hold myself up in many of the other holds and strenght exercises so it probably is down to poor technique here.
