Fabulous thread!!!
If your day time shoes are falling apart but you find yourself passing up buying "real" shoes because you would rather spend your money on hot red stilettos you might be a pole dancer!
If you judge every house by its flooring and ceiling height, you might be a pole dancer!

Being able to do a split grip ashya can be very helpful…because thats almost the end result of a CM but I was able to CM before I could do a SGA. Its helpful because your body will be familiar with the inverted position of the SGA but when I cartwheel mount my top arm is slightly bent and this can make that same inverted position feel much different depending on how you twist your body. I would work on both! I tell a lot of people to work on the SGA first just because it can help you work on your balance. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

LOL my first time back was not good, it might look smooth but everything was sooo painful even pole sits! I could BARELY do an invert.. LOL. How old is your baby now? It can take a while for your abs to function like they use to…I felt like I was a thousand pounds https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif it did come back fast for me, BUT think its because I took it slow. I started back on the pole at 3 weeks post baby (I think thats with first vid said) but I only danced once a week if that, for the first 5 weeks of getting back on the pole. I worked more on strength training. Now its been 8 months after my last baby and my abs still arn’t as strong as they use to be, do to lack of time https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
One last thing, if you happen to have my online lessons the strength move I call the "switch" is great for your abs, my abs separated during all of my pregnancies ( the most with my 3rd) and this move helped get them back to almost normal. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Benice….KEEP ON EXERCISING!!!! Even if you can’t do ANY inverts you can still get the amazing benefit that exercise/pole dance can give you. When we exercise, our brains release those "feel good" endorphins!! This can help depression. So dance and move that body…I know first hand it can help! Regular daily exercise can help you sleep better, decrease or increase your appetite depending on your body size/weight,(if your overweight it will work as an appetite suppressant, if your too thin it can work to increase appetite) and including stretching with your work out routine will increase flexibility and lead to a well functioning body. Remember you are not alone many, many, MANY, women suffer from some form of depression or anxiety were here for ya https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I’m Brass
You are the Isadora Duncan of the pole world. When you perform, you take it to a whole other level. You are athletically gifted and could dance on Broadway, but what sets you apart is your vision. Your choreography, music, and costuming choices make your audiences line up at the door!
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gifFun stuff.

That sounds like the perfect workshop for any pole dancer, especially anyone here who is new to pole. Ladies, if your in Charley’s area go, go. This is important stuff to know! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

She was great, but I was sad there was no interview….and I just wanted all the other dancers to get out of the way, so I could see her better! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

She has some really unique moves. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I’m sorry to hear all that. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif If there is anything I can do to help please let me know…and I mean that!! Have you thought about leaving ND? I know there is not a heck of a lot of opportunity there. You are a strong, beautiful, woman who has been though many tough times, this will only lead you to bigger and better things. Ever thought about moving to CA? LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Welcome!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif If your getting bruising from doing a basic invert your probably using a lot of momentum and force to get up there. That’s not good, you could injury yourself. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif It could also be hand placement, sometimes if your holding on to your pole way up high, that can happen. Your inside hand should be around ear level and outside hand should be just above that. You may want to hold off for a bit until you have more strength in your abs, upper back and biceps, these among other muscle assist you in inverting. Work on your transitions, spins, flexibility and do pole strength work, before working the inverts. Inverts are fun, but there is so much more to pole dance then that, you’ll get it!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Charley makes a good point about the layback I call it a advanced plank. Here are my methods.
Use lots of pillow or mats and do it as low to the ground as possible first. This is how I teach it in my lessons. You can work on getting the leg position from the ground so there is no fear of falling https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
1 Lie with your back on the floor
scoot yourself way up the pole so your butt is high and your up on your shoulders, you can work on pulling your body up from the both CAR/CKR positions.
So once your sure about leg placement and how it should feel move on to step two..2 Either from standing or by doing a SMALL pole climb, get into the proper leg position for either the CKR or CAR
Make sure for both, that your legs are locked into the position by tipping them towards your upper body first before attempting to layback.
Reach your free hand behind you as if to do a plank/layback then slowly walk or let your hand slide down the pole allowing your body to go into the full move. You can do this with both the CKR and CAR. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifAnd yes….it will hurt. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

Have any of you ever ordered anything off of http://www.pinupshoes.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;? It seems like a legit site and they have a HUGE shoe selection, but I’m always hesitant to order anything off a site until I get a good reference.
I’ve never shopped there but..wow did you see their boot collection? Its great. Looks like a good place to me, I might have to get some new boots!!! -
I don’t think there are too many preggo here right now but, I can give you a few ideas. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif If you have a pole you can still use it, but just differently then the non preggos lol. Work on flexibility (BUT be careful not to over stretch, you have relaxing in your body to prepare for birth and this makes your ligaments loose) having pretty, soft hands and pointy toes (just be aware if you point your toes too hard you could get those nasty calf cramps), hip rolls are fun, dance around and have fun, work on posture and keeping movements flowing …use to pole to keep your balance so you don’t tip over. lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif Don’t work on spins and no more inverts.
If you don’t have a pole walk, swim… swimming is wonderful for you and can be a great way to cool down and take a load off. haha. Squats are great to prepare your body for birth, just be sure your doing them properly. Yoga is amazing too, it can really help you tap into your body and also prepare you for labor! Enjoy your new fab body https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Yes, the poles all ship out of CA if they’re out everyone is out…unless for some reason they bought a bunch of poles to sell on their own. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Gayle, there is a little vid of Sachapoles and I at the end of the First newsletter vid https://www.studioveena.com/info/2009/06/17/studioveenacom-first-video-newsletter/ I am showing her how to do the superman you could check it out and see if it might help you. Roxy is right about hand placement so be aware of that also you will notice in the vid I bend at the waist so when I’m sideways my chest comes towards my lower body, this will help you flip easier. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Some bodies are naturally more capable of flexibility than others. Everyone CAN increase their flexibility though. I posted a video to youtube a year ago with some stretches and tips for splits training, These are just a few stretches to help you get started….. here is the link for you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Well it could be legitimate …but why wouldn’t she oder one from here? Its the same price and we offer free shipping and you know we are for real. Just because the front page of their website "says" in stock just means they might not have updated that information. Lots of the pole sites don’t bother posting when they are out of stock. If she interested the new shipment of poles arrive this Friday! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I just saw your vid, thanks for posting https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Sissy you are right on, first you need to work on your basic invert.
Lower your hands/armskeep shoulders back and down
be sure your using your abs, upper back and biceps to help LIFT your hips up higher, this will help you get your legs over your hands.
Work on inverting with a little less momentum.
To do the Gemini and Scorpio you have to be able to lift those hips up, just hanging by your arms wont allow you to achieve the proper leg position. You want the "pit" of the knee to grab the pole. Your doing really well keep at it, I know you can do it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
