It's common in yoga for instructors to suggest students avoid inverted poses during menstruation. But I don't believe there has been any medical evidence supporting the "no upside down while flo is around," theory. Most importantly, listen to your body, if you have very heavy periods you may feel too uncomfortable to invert anyway. I invert all the time when flo is here and I'm still alive. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

If you do have tendonitis it's important to rest a little first, before starting to strengthen. And stop working on split grips for a while. Once inflammation has gone down then you can start to strengthen. Try some massage as well, using the foam roller can feel great. For those of you taking the lessons there are a several conditioning lessons and stretches that are important for pole dancers to use. All you need is an inexpensive fit band.
Kyrelle, a video would be helpful to see what your technic looks like…. also not every move is suitable for everyone.

Hi, welcome to the site!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifStepping out of your comfort zone is a good thing, I would go for it! A good studio will not have beginners inverting or doing high momentum spins with both feel off the floor. Instead they might focus on movement, strength training and basic pole concepts. So keep that in mind when you visit.

Not sure if you're still taking the lessons Riddle but the girls are right…..so try working on Option 2 in the shoulder hooping lesson first. Don't be afraid to round the upper back and shoulders, and really push the chest forward. Hooping isn't like pole dance where we should stay strong and neutral in the upper body, get loosy goosy and keep the knees soft too!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

A floor to ceiling pole would be best and most stable (less wiggle)…it would also allow you to do more transitions down to floorwork, than a stage pole. If your ceilings and floor are not damaged or weak, then I would go with the xpert. A stage is great for demos and using outside but they take up a lot of indoor space though!

Here are some other threads on this subject. You do want to address your studio to see what their policy is.

The thing to remember with any finish (regardless of manufacturer) is, a proper warm up will always give you the best grip. So don't over think finishes. If I stand around in a cool room and chat, I'll have trouble working with ANY finish.

Rixi, if you're going to do anything aggressive get the x stage, you'll have the option to add extra weight and to extend the legs IF you want. If you like spin mode, you'll have to be pretty gentle with the PS stage unless you're going to stay low on the pole.

Hello, welcome to the site!!

Adam does a great job. Because he was a pole dancer and instructor himself, he's able to direct you. We've worked together he's so funny. I think you could get some great shots by sharing the 2 hrs, but if you have a choice and want the 2 then go for it!!
-
Yay!!! So happy for both!
