Hey.. Thanks y’all for encouraging me. I definetly won’t give up – I can’t, since I teach our strong & flexi class at least once a week (sometimes it’s good to be forced). And before every class I teach I add a little stretching to the warm up.
I tried the 6 weeks thing, but it didn’t work for me. In general I don’t feel that the PNF Thing is for me. My legs are really strong and I can’t really tire the muscles doing so. I feel that they refuse to loosen up even more if I contract them before.
I did other programs as well including Veena, Alethea, Cleo, … and picked out what seems to work for me.I feel what works better for me is holding stretches quite long and contracting the opposite or other muscles to to pull deeper, for example when I’m stretching the hamstrings I would engage my abs and quads.
I think the worst problem are my hip flexors, I think.

No, I don’t feel sexy all the time. Sometimes I’m the squirrel, sometimes the minion. But sometimes, I’m super sexy! Here are my tips:
1. Try to feel every part of your Body. Be aware of all your limbs.
2. Feel every movement, even the super small ones and try to exagerate every movement, for example try to really arch and round your back to the Maximum in a Body wave, when you lift a leg, at the end try to lift it one more inch
3. Pretend that you are someone else. I often imagine I’m Alethea Austin or an exotic dancer in a Strip Club
4. Dance for an audience, Keep eye contact and communicate with your movements. If you’re too shy, pretend there is an audience, works as well 🙂 If it doesn’t work for you, Close your eyes
5. Look for slow Music that you really like
6. Turn down the lights
7. heat up the room
8. don’t do any tricks and stuff that you have to think about, Keep it simple – this helps switching off the head -
Awesome, thanks! That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Has anyone tried it yet?

Oh and I know there is pole sleeves but I find it very expensive so I’m looking for a more affordable solution.

I’m advertising on Facebook. A little research my boyfriend did, using the data we have gained so far, pointed out that returning customers (who come back and book a course after a trial class) are mostly between 20 and 26 years old, so I’m targeting my facebook ads to this clientel. I hope I could help you.

Just wanted to say, the 20 books for our studio arrived safely in Germany! Thank you so much, they are wonderful!
-
Well I feel like using stock photos is a little bit cheating. I mean, I know a studio and they advertise with an image on Anastasia Shuktorova in a rainbow marchenko…! I bet no one of the instructures can do that move (otherwise they probably would have taken a picture of that pose themselves) so I think this is taking credits for someone else’s achievments!
For our studio we use photos of ourselves, because we want to keep it personal and want to show what we can do and what we can teach. -
Never change a running system… especially not befor a competition!

You can see most of my tattoo in this picture: https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/523c9d59-c370-4e70-9e09-06f40ac37250
I’m going to get it extended and colored in 2015 (I have an appointment already) by a lady who does tattoos that look like water color: http://www.queegqueg-tattoo.de/wp-content/galleries/jessica/engel.jpg
In that tattoo I am going to hide some pole-related stuff: A star filled with zebra-fur which is our studio’s logo, an number 13 in a heart because I love Alethea and the saying “no pain, no gain” to remind me that I need to work hard.

At our studio, we have “you can do anything with the right shoes” above our mirrors.

Cuwoody, I do so, but in this special case I would like to have something “extra” that says that she understands that the moves she wants to learn are not her skill level ans that her shoulder injury is cured.
Just in case if something happens, no one can say “You knew about her injury, how could you have tought her?”
Well she did answer now, telling me that my prices are too high.
I’m kind of relieved and hope to not have to teach her again. She has a very consuming personality (Do you say it like this in Eglish? Sorry for my poor language skills). Had some issues before when she ordered her pole, but that’s a different story. -
You girls are awesome!! Thanks!
Actually I tried eros the other day (without noticing that this would be a nice transition to star gazer) but it really scares me, I don’t know why. Needs some work I guess. Especially going into tornado. Scary! But I love that combo!
Totally forgot about the ckr! That’s a nice one too and I did transition to that before, just forgot it…
Need to try the remi sit!
Again, thanks ladies!

Thanks y’all!
Now that I’ve calmed down a little I wrote her, asking when she wanted to do the private (and if it comes to that point, take on your advice and work on “conditioning climbing and inverting”, the crucifix, caterpillar and butterfly) and let her know that I need a doctor’s note that she’s fine. She replied that she can’t get an appointment that fast but is fine and doesn’t understand why I need that, and I then asked her to sign a paper that says that the training is on her own risk and that training is non-hazardus.
She then replied that she cannot understand that and I explained to her that I need that sort of assurence for liability reasons and don’t want to get sued if anything happens, especially as her wishes are quite risky.
She didn’t reply to that and I hope we are through.
The fact that she doen’t want to sign anything or bring a doctor’s note – for me – shows perfectly, that there still might be some issues. What do you think?
-
Sorry for the spelling mistakes! Just re-read my post and I’m quite embarrassed.
Propably because that really gets my goat.Forgot to add, I knew her before we opened the studio. She’s a collegue in “real life”. I wouldn’t consider her a friend, but still. It makes it harder to just turn her away. I don’t want to upset her.
-
Awesome!! Can’t wait for the books to arrive!!!
-
Just wanted to let you know, the samples arrived on Tuesday, so 10 days from the UK is totally acceptable. Tried out chocolate / coconut and totally LOVE it!
chocolate is nice as well. Need to try the other flavors!I hope they respond quickly to my questions about wholesale conditions.

It’s always hard to take a position in things when you haven’t been there personally, but as far as you are telling your side of the story, yes, she could have said things differently and a lot nicer.
It’s a no-go (even if it’s justified) to make such comments in front of everyone else. A teacher should be able to encourage their students.
Might be that you are not ready for the handstands-stuff, but in that case she could just have helped you and show you some techniques to get better at them.
Maybe you could talk to the teacher who advised the workshop to you and tell her that you didn’t feel very comfortable with the other’s teaching style?

Forgot to add, Sarah Jade and Eva Bembo!

Besides Alethea, look out for Karol Helms. Especially her “Paint it Black” Performance! And look up Arlene Caffreys Pole Classique at Irish Pole Theater!
For Veena-users, check out Scarletthoney!

At my studio I have all three, 40, 45 and 50. I have only one girl enjoying the 50, she is really tall and has big hands. Most go for the 45. Some girls with small hands like the 40, but sometimes have problems with leg grip. So my suggestion would also be 45.

I try to go to the sauna at least once a month.
We have a really nice place with a beautyfully themed garden with different saunas and I love spending a whole day there. In between the sauna I’m reading, getting treatments, like massage or rasul, have a snack or a nap. Very relaxing! It’s like being on vacation for one day.
If I don’t have the time for a whole day I sometimes go after work for a few ours or take a long bath at home.

Webmaster, is it also possible to embed the videos to another website like you can do with youtube videos?
For example, I would like to share videos on our studio’s homepage. Is it possible to directly embed these?

As some of you might know, I’m really struggling with flexibility. I only made it 4 inches closer to the floor since I startet (Dec 2012).
Since shipping from the US takes some time and is quite expensive, could someone please try to explain what this technique is about so I can sort out if that method might be covered in some of the exercises I already know, to find out if I need that book or the DVD.
Thanks!
