Don’t stress! It’s normal to perform better in class, have you thought about taking the lessons here? Then you would have some guidance while you are home. Also you don’t need to practice every day and you totally need to have a day of rest in between pole sessions. This will prevent overuse injuries, your body need rest to grow stronger after a hard workout. 😊

You’ll see I show 3 quick levels of difficulty. Check out my lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4de90c77-cc0c-4d78-8b47-1c7b0ac37250 for more help and options. Don’t let the legs flare out to the sides, don’t reach the head back if it’s not comfortable, keep the shoulders away from the ears!

Day 3! 🌈 Sitting Twist! http://instagram.com/p/zvnwSWJAVw/
Beginners can stay facing forward. Keep the spine tall as you twist and check out my lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4def767e-f9f4-4049-9d57-2c8d0ac37250 💜 for more help. Try variations of flexing the foot of the straight leg or looking forward.

My definition of Spotting is….being prepared to help IF someone looses control of a move. A spotter should not help a person into a move, helping someone get into a move they’re not able or strong enough to do themselves can cause accidents and injury. Everyone should use mats when learning new things and in general spotting should be done from the hips, under the back and never grab limbs. Hope that helps 💜

I never did re-measure. I do think my lats cause the correct bra size to look odd maybe?
-
I’m guessing the girl who measured me didn’t do a great job either. I don’t remember the size off hand, 32 b rings a bell…but the bra’s they put me in all sat funny in the middle of my chest, so instead of having my boobs start at the side of my body they were, like, in the center. I looked really odd. lol

As everyone has said, don’t feel discouraged! Spins are not beginner work, your body needs time to work up to those. Even if some can do them right away they often end up with injuries.
This video can help you learn how to properly engage the scapula for pole! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ3V_2DsxgE&index=5&list=PLyXWQXP3dueofybLatPPuLCbvfSPF2oSF
Check out the lesson here as well, everything is place in order and you’ll learn all kinds of beginner appropriate things to build strength first 🙂

Day 2! 🌈 #SVbackarch – Knee Tuck.
http://instagram.com/p/ztGDL_pAfQ/Please check out my lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4ddfb933-22f0-4762-b396-642a0ac37250💜 for full instruction. This can be a nice recovery position after back bending, but also a nice stretch on its own. Never pull on the legs with force to stretch more, this will strain the low back! Advanced stretchers can grab under the knee pit and lift the head for more intensity.

Allyson, sternums are sexy! 😋 I call mine Hootlets (wishing for an owl emoticon)
I also great weird size recommendations when using online sizing and measuring at home. VS bras are not small enough for me…. ðŸ˜

Lily! I totally understand that! Maybe try working on floor work for now?

I’m so sorry this has happened to you, but THANK you for sharing your experience with us, because so many don’t take preparing the body for split grips to heart! This thread could save so many people from injury and time off their pole, so THANK YOU!
As you said our bodies are not meant to take on heavy weight when in the split grip position, it’s not a natural movement for the hands, wrists and forearms, and this is exactly why we need to limit our split grip time, even once you can do them comfortably.
If you have access to a gym or even resistance bands you can still work your back by using an ankle cuff, or any kind of cuff you can find, around your wrists, instead of gripping with your hands! Just be sure you keep the hands open and relaxed and not clenched when lifting or pulling.
Krazykitty, everyone does NOT get tendonitis and it not something you should ignore…. without rest it will only continue to be a problem. Please stop advising member here to use compression sleeves for their injuries. Thank you.
-
Do not use a compression sleeve unless directed by your dr!!!!!!!!!
Krazy, seems like you injure yourself a lot, I would not say that is a positive thing! If you have tendonitis you need to REST and then condition the wrist, hands, forearms before poling again. Also split grips should be avoided for a while until you have fully healed!

Thank you for sharing this with us. You look fantastic! This is a tough industry to be in and finding a supportive studio like yours can change lives. xoxoxo

I had ulnar nerve damage!! Back when I first started pole, however it was totally not pole related. I had been sewing and reached back to grab something and wacked the soft spot between the elbow so hard that I damgaged it pretty bad. I couldn’t feel my pinky finger for several days! It took a long time, like a year to stop bothering me. I had a massage and the guy was able to work on it and it really helped, but I didn’t do that until almost 2 years after hurting it. Give it time!!!!

Day 1 -Spinal Contraction 🌈 http://instagram.com/p/zqcI2zpAat/
🌈 I start every back bending session with these and while they look super easy, if you do them right, they are very effective! The key is NOT TO USE THE BUTT! Don’t squeeze the Glutes as you lift, focus on keeping them as relaxed as possible. Go slow!!!! ðŸŒThe arms are relaxed as well for a full lesson please click here https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dff4991-0b24-4269-80a0-26c90ac37250💜

I would not put a hammock on an Iron Gym type bar, just because it could fall down if you angled the wrong way!!! I could see using anything solid though for light yoga and stretching.
