I love how midwives encourage you to listen to your body! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

All of these cheap poles usually are ok as far as not falling down. The issue will be that the joints begin to flare out and can cut you!!!!

Oh PS, you don't have to have a crazy oversplit for nice lines.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

With the aysha it can totally be an illusion. A common mistake is to open the legs up and directly out the sides. But really you need to rotate from the hips reaching the legs forward (slightly) and into a V. Just like you would do a sitting v on the floor. You can see the positioning for many angles in these lessons
I show what it looks like to bring the legs up and out here (the wrong way) well not really wrong, but lesson attractive!!!

For other aerial spin moves, you'll need to increase your glute, hamstring and hipflexor strengthhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif.

There is probably nothing wrong with your pole. You could double check to make sure the pole is tight enough. Mine spins very freely too and I don't need much push to end up flying around!! It takes time to learn control. Try to imagine dragging your arms, legs and body through water, moving slooowly onto the pole. Every pole will spin a bit differently so it's good to test out any pole you haven't used before doing tricks on spinny.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Here is a video I made with some quick tips for spinning pole. I also include spin mode in the lessons here. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hello and welcome! I’m always here to answer questions if you have any 🙂
-
I meant to say stretch at the END of your pole session.
-
Including a really good warm up then adding stretches and foam rolling the muscle groups used can help reduce muscle soreness.
It’s normal to be sore if you do not pole regularly.

I'll post this responce here as well for you Phnixx… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
A good rule to follow, if you were very active before you became pregnant, you can stay active. Pregnancy isn't a good time to take up a new workout activity though. Always talk with your midwife or Doctor!
With my first 3 pregnancies I continued my weight training and I did abdominal work. I was not a pole dancer at this time. With my last pregnancy, I continued pole dancing and modified when needed. My personal rule for pole dancing while pregnant was…..
1 No inverts after the first trimester (keep in mind I was super comfortable with my pole abilities and stayed within them always)
Instead I Worked on transitions, and creating beautiful lines and motion around the pole…no crazy tricks needed. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Be aware of spins, your body is producing relaxin and this could cause too much strain on the shoulders and wrists. For women who are fairly strong the relaxin can be LESS of a problem. I didn't have any troubles. So be careful when stretching too! Don't get over heated.
Abdominal work will not hurt the baby…..however, you need to be aware of the possibility for worsening Diastasis recti (abdominal separation). Some Abdominal separation is normal, but if you haven't learned how to contract the transverse abdomis when doing ab work, you could worsen the separation. This lesson will show you how to activate these muscles. https://www.studioveena.com/outbound_links/t/?l=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.studioveena.com%2Flessons%2Fview%2F4df4be6f-3160-46c9-9e73-67a10ac37250%26nbsp%3B
There are some great abdominal exercise out there that do not require you to lay flat on the back (you shouldn't lay on your back after the 1st trimester.) Using your core is good, you'll need it to push the baby out!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
Here is a video of myself at 30 weeks….take note of how I modified by not tucking the legs to my waist during spins. This took pressure off the belly 🙂
PS don't forget to do your kegals https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
I also had 2 of my babies at home…..very recommended!

You don’t have to be too specific, as long as there’s a group of people singing and it’s not just a solo artist, that’s good enough for me 🙂
-
Watch all of the getting started lessons for each section, this will give you the info you’re looking for 🙂

It would be so fun to introduce your friend to pole and teach you as well! Send me an email on my studioveena profile and we can work something out!! 🙂
