I took class at SoBe when I was there July 2012. I honestly don’t remember what the name of the class was, but it was a mixed level class. The instructor realized that I’d poled before so she gave variations and then gave me a few combos to work on. I really enjoyed it.

Lots of people practice together via Skype or in the chat room here. It has pushed me FAR!

Well, I was naughty and haven't stretched as much as I would've liked this month. Oh well, I am still further than I was a few months ago. Here it is…no tree though.

Last week when PA got her middles in front of the tree, I got down to the floor!! (First time EVER!!) I haven't posted yet because my back leg looks crazy…I've decided that no matter what that back leg is doing I will post because it's the furthest I've ever been down. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_santa.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Lyme, I’m getting close on my left but I probably won’t have them either. I will say that I’ve been having fun torturing Platinum Ani into stretching after we jam though…THAT has been the best part!

Count me in! I can’t split in any direction (yet). I am closest with my left though. Christmas is closer than my splits and maybe I will surprise myself 😱

Bad Kitty accepts returns. I bought 2 spider backs about a month ago…I had tried one on at PoleCon, but as it was months later, I couldn't remember what size I'd liked. I sent an email and Trish responded that I could exchange if one didn't fit (I bought 2 different sizes but in different colors), or she would refund me.
The spider back is tighter than most of their other tops, I guess because of the strap placement. If you're normally a small in PoleFit tops then you will probably like the medium.

@Mechie there should be an email address or phone number listed at the bottom of the workshop page to book and/or be wait listed. A few months ago you could just click and pay but I think there was a snafu that somehow overbooked a workshop or something. The free workshops are on a first come first served basis. In order to attend any of the free workshops/pole/seminars, you have to purchase a convention pass.

I too was a little nervous about telling people when I first started. I wasn't sure how it would be received. The first person I told was my mother as I was on the way to pole class…I told her I was going to dance class and she asked what kind of dance. I told her I wasn't sure she wanted to know…She said try me. I said pole and she said oh COOL! I wish I could do that! I was quite surprised one day I'd sent my mother a link for a video I'd used for a showcase entry and her response was "I've seen your flow MUCH better. This was not your best work, but good luck." Imagine my shock when she told me she shows my pics to her co-workers!! My mother is who actually took the picture that is used as my profile pic here! We were in Mexico and I was fiending for a climb, a spin, or ANYTHING. I never did find a suitable street pole, that thick thing was as close as I got!
I was nervous about telling my conservative father (closed minded?) father who doesn't even wear shorts because he doesn't think men should. He has actually been supportive and has "liked" a few of my pics on FB. If I talk to him after class he always asks how was it, did I have fun, and did I learn anything new. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif
I too usually try to keep my private life private at work. I had become friends with some…who commented on me looking leaner. They started asking about my "dance" classes so I finally told them it was pole. Now, there are 5 of my co-workers who take classes regularly and sometimes we make Girl's Day out of it…pole+eating+shopping! There are 2 more that are coming to "try it" in the next few weeks.
I proudly "check-in" on Facebook whenever I'm hitting the studio. Some folks have been curious enough to see what it is that I'm checking into and clicked on the name. My mentor from school actually asked me questions about it on my FB wall (again, imagine my shock that she didn't just text me or send me a FB message). A cousin said she needs to find some pole classes because I look good and it must be fun since I'm always going.

I’m signed up for that workshop although the name has now changed to “hand balancing” which is a little more intimidating! I don’t do hand or head stands only elbow and shoulder. I say DO IT!!! Your headstand is looking GOOD Hooked and it’s a workshop to learn how to make it better 🙂

Poling is my best accomplishment. My first class was a disaster at best, but I went a second time anyway. I have started exploring other workouts too. I am proud of every single thing that I have learned because most of it wasn't easy or on the first try for me. I can't wait to see what 2012 holds.
Happy New Year https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
