I’m sorry to hear that Mighty! As instructors it’s our job to make students feel they are in good hands, and that will have their best interest in mind. I hear of far to many story’s of instructors saying “just do it” or “it’s easy” and this can really turn someone off to their teaching or even hurt them! I do feel it’s important to be able to read students and push those who need it, but only when it’s appropriate. Any type of inversion the first day is not appropriate.

I had one friend on FB that I thought didn’t pole anymore, only to recently see she was competing! I don’t know how FB decided on what you see, but I miss so much. 🙁
We have such lovely members and I enjoy popping on to see everyone here!

While it is listed as beginner in my lesson line up here, the reality is this is by no means a great move for a first class! The lessons here are placed in ORDER in which to learn and if you go look, you’ll see the elbow stand is WAY down near the bottom. I have you working on other things to help you move up to that point! You need to have a few week of strength and conditioning along with just learning more about how your body and pole work together.
If you are working on elbow stand properly, regardless of your level, there should not be any injury! Because when taught with care these can be work on in steps only moving on to more advanced options as you grow stronger and develop the necessary technique. 🙂
You’ll find several lessons here that cover elbow stands, even a full length routine to help you build the strength for them!

You’ll find that wearing heels doesn’t allow you to push off as forcefully as you would with flat feet. To work up to inverting with heels, practice inverting from the ball of the foot, so from tippy toes. Don’t let the heel drop down to the floor as you lift up into invert. Once this becomes more natural try heels again 😊

Oh Pam, you are too kind! I wish I could give you a big hug! We do have thousands and thousands of users, however, I do notice when someone who is a regular contributor to the site is not around. Usually I try not to stick my nose in anyones business, but every now and then, someone pops into my mind and I feel the need to contact them.
I hope you know you’ll always have family here to support you if you ever need to talk, even if it has nothing to do with pole. This is the heart and success of SV, it’s not about selling something, for me it’s always been a way to connect with others who share a common love of Pole!
Chihuahua’s are the best BTW, we have 2 now 🙂
