Also, sounds like some of you are learning the Reverse Inverted Thigh Hold, https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cd039db-6690-4548-b386-0f920ac37250 this is more difficult than gripping with both legs in CAR! I have it listed as Adv!! Please work on these moves from the ground first, it’s safer and gives a good idea of if your legs will hold you. 💜

Both holds can almost always be interchanged when used as a transition so I always just tell dancers to use whichever feels most secure. There is no rule that says all pole dancers need to use both! I do both but have a natural tendency to use CKR, probably because I have nice open hips and the rotation of the hip needed for this hold is easy for me.

I believe in you and your heel wearing ability Tropical!!
Runemist, this month I did a mix of levels so don’t stress if you can’t do all of them. 🙂

Hi lisakristin, congrats!! Pregnancy hormones will increase later on and can cause joints to become loose, increasing injury risk. So I would stay away from any workout that stresses the knee while preggers, since you already have issues.
Sounds like your not thrilled with the care from the drs, have you thought about using a Midwife? My last 2 pregnancies I only used Midwives and it was the best experience ever!

Yeah, this is a proud yoga moment…..https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5488aeb4-ef34-43d7-8b68-14550a9aa0eb LOL
Honestly I don’t know if there are but anyone is welcome to post if they have them.

Hi welcome to the site, are you new to pole dance or just to the site? 🙂 Either way you might want to sign up for the lessons here!
If you are new to pole, start with strength and conditioning pole work and off pole training, you’ll find all of this in the lessons. This will help prevent injury. If you are new to the site, maybe you could post a video of your attempts at the forearm grip Ayesha, then we see what the trouble is and can help you out. The Ayesha is an advanced pole move, here is a link for it. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4d10f457-834c-45b0-8448-3b550ac37250

It’s about genetics and body type…ectomorph mesomorph endomorph are the 3 main types but that’s a broad generalization! Some women will bulk up quickly and fairly easily others would have to eat just right, do the right kinds of exercises and rest the right amount to bulk. It’s all about the right training for your body💪

Would you guys like me to start a new discussion so you can view the newest clips on IG of what I’ve just posted? You already see new lessons in the daily update, but I thought it might be nice to have a running thread recently posted QL. This way I can keep the lessons in order according to difficulty and if it’s pole, floor, chair etc, on the lessons page, yet from the thread you can look to see what is most recent. Does that make sense? Would that be helpful?

Any type of repetitive motion that’s done and not followed with stretching can make you tight. So running can actually be a great way to warm up for flexibility training, as long as you stretch or do flexibility training after running, lifting weight, horse back riding, biking. You will not hinder progress BUT you have to be diligent with it or it can tighten you up.
The science on Relaxin and knee injury in women is out there, but there’s not a definitive answer as to if it truly is an issue. I side on the better safe than sorry end of it.

DO NOT USE A CHAIR!!!!
If you are doing a Split or True grip Half or Full Cartwheel mount using a chair is NOT safe. The videos where you see a chair “helping” them are where they are using a TWISTED GRIP. I don’t use the Twisted grip in my Cartwheel mounts so if you are hoping to achieve the same results it won’t happen because a Mount with a twisted grip and mount with Split, or True grip does not use the same technique! 🙂
There are different techniques for Cartwheel mount, Handspring mount and Twisted grip mount. Everyone uses the names interchangeably and it causes confusion :/ ……Handspring mount and Twisted grip mount are the closest to the same. Cartwheel you’re headed in a totally opposite direction.
This video (it’s sooooooo old) shows a FULL CARTWHEEL, CARTWHEEL MOUNT and HANDSPRING MOUNT so you can see the difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sag8kwfYBmU
Check out the lessons for proper hand placement. 🙂

@Allyson, Don’t use weights until you’ve been stretching constantly for a few months. If you use weights your technique should be spot on and you need to be very warm and know your body well.
@Phoenix, how hot is your bath? I make mine so hot I can hardly stand it, by the time 5-10 minutes go by I’m literally sweating. Hot tub stretching is also amazing, but it has to be hot not comfortable to where you could sit for more than 20 mins. I mean HOT. lol
I have something I’ve been working on and I’m hoping to finish soon, I think you will all love it. 🙂

We do tend to be more flexible around our period, this is why we need to be cautious of knee injury during that time as well. ðŸ‘
-
Polekat is correct about flexibility training before heavy workouts 😊
-
Mishakitty, do you go to a studio in town at all? The lessons can be viewed on most smart phones and tablets, so you could watch them there if home doesn’t work for you.

Show the sale ends Wednesday 🙂
Poleisnewtome….there are TONS of non pole lessons here. Some of the best things you can do at home are conditioning, none of these lessons require a pole. I’ve also got a bunch of Flexibility lessons, and routines along with a few other full length routines that do not require a pole.
