ditto everyone else.
When I'm 'feelin' it' to a song I love, the moves flow from a place that otherwise remains pretty untapped. It seriously makes alllll the difference. To me, the music and the repetition is KEY.
Passion, practice, and pointed toes!

She's not scarred, just getting broken in! A pole in perfect condition is one that's not used much. That's how I look at it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif
-
Both sides! I prefer to invert from my right side (so standing to the left of the pole) but I do both.
-
I wouldn't cram in the protein. Eat conscientiously. For protein sources I like beans and other veg sources, and eggs and lean meat/tuna/salmon. I also do supplement with whey protein powder 3-4 times per week.

Thanks so much! I didn't catch the neutral alignment part. What are some pelvic stability exercises?
-
Love that vid, B! I will do those for sure.
Here's another one, this one breaks it down really well I feel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyrUmzIHmzw&feature=my_favorites&list=FLN1K7Cf9yiIjvqtD5QmyTFw
And here's what I found, somewhere when I was searching…I can't find the link now but I'd copied and pasted:
Hollow Body position on floor:
Lie on your back, preferably on a gynastics mat.
Place hands on thighs.
Tighten body, pressing small of back into floor. No arch at all
Point toes and lift several inches off floor
Lift head and chest off floor. Body should be hollowed out like the letter C. Back should be the only part in contact with the floor.
Hold as long as you can. Breathe.
Hollow body Rock:
From Hollow body positon, raise arms overhead. Arms are perfectly straight and pressed against ears.
Rock back and forth gently several times, keeping arms and legs perfectly straight. Dont arch lower back off floor.
Hollow Body Postion Upright:
Stand upright, hollow out back so there is no arch. Tuck bum as tight as you can.
Raise arms overhead
Raise up on toes and walk. You should have enough balance to move without faltering.

amy–in my research one description of the move gives three descriptions/ways to do it. one is with hand on thighs, so I wondered. do you have a tutorial on it?
Brumby, sounds good! I feel like I should know more about it! I am subbing for your AC class, so I'm def doing this. 🙂
-
amy, with your body flat on the ground, are your hands on your thighs?
thanks, both of you! I'm going to search on here too and see if there are threads about it (shoulda done that first I guess!)
-
I have the PFA dictionary too, and it's a good resource but I have issues with it, LOL. I would love to see my suggestions implemented. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif
I would loooove to make my own but don't want to invest the time either. Ho hum!
-
Subbing, our studio does garters and we're also looking for other ideas!
-
Polergirl, I was JUST thinking/wondering about you this morning. I love your vids too, sooooo much. Sarah Holborow is one I've always liked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSK3aMbtP1w
I go through periods of self doubt too. Sometimes I feel like 'if only I didn't have this or this to worry about, I'd be so free from worry and (self) judgment.' But when I look at my students, who are all different sizes, I only admire and love their movements. It's so hard to do the same for ourselves sometimes….
XOXO!!

I can't see the links, sensual…
Can you go try shoes on first? At Cirilla's or someplace similar? I looooooove my 6 inch shoes. So comfy!
-
Does the princess grip have another name? I didn't see it in the gallery (looking for 'princess grip').
-
Ah, thanks…re-reading I see my question was already covered, too. I need some flashcards with grips and pole moves. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
-
Are Veena and princess grip the same grip?
-
I love the cup grip, I feel way more secure in it after I realized that at the top of the move I can wrap my legs while my butt is still far out from the pole, very similar to an aysha.
Kyrelle–can you describe the chinese grip? It sounds like it's opposite of the cup grip?
-
I want grip aids, I only have Dry Hands, but rarely use it since sweaty palms usually aren't an issue for me. Some itac would be nice. My studio carries a whole bunch of clothing which is awesome. The tanks, hoodies, hats, and bags are studio branded. They also carry a couple styles of shorts (Mika and AMB).
They will be selling my hoops soon, too. 🙂
Shoes would be nice, too, but those would be super hard to stock I think.
-
thanks for the breakdown. 🙂 i haven't tried the TG aysha, no, I can only picture getting into it from the regular reverse aysha. LOL. Maybe someday!!
-
msg'd you!
-
I know! And teeny tiny is right. No excuses here either, HAHA.
-
ah, thanks! Polergirl, I love that vid too! I love those booty pops, LOL!
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6obNVJdrdc Ok, here at 1:53. Does it become a twisted grip aysha when you push out away from the pole??
-
It's a reverse aysha but pushed out away from the pole instead of keeping body close to the pole, it's more of an aysha position. The top arm position changes. I'll see if I can find a link…
-
I'm think I'm going to try to do this myself on a pair of clear heels I'm not crazy about, first practicing on some leftover tubing (from making hoops) to see how it wears. Wish me luck!
-
do you have a link? not sure what they are (so clearly I haven't tried them!) Why can't you pole right now? :/
