@lisaemmerson403135 I’ve never done a marathon other than for church as a kid. That’s impressive.

@Serzi I don’t pole dance much either, maybe 3 times a month. It’s very disheartening that you and I are often the only ones who use the discussions. I also long for the days of feeling like community.
I need to stop trying to get people to engage with each other here, but as you can see, it’s not something people want.
Even though community aspect is out of the question, the website and tutorials aren’t going anywhere so if you read this, don’t worry about that….

@PaPole Thanks for replying! I enjoyed working with everyone during the certifications.

@hazelbourke81617 It’s nice to meet you! Thanks for sharing and great to hear from more people who love static. I feel like everyone does spinning pole now.
-
@mummypole I love this! Thanks for sharing and being so active here! It’s fun for me to wait for your replies.
-
Yep, got it!
-
@mummypole Are there any particular questions or things you want to learn about flow? I’m planning on filming this next week.
-
Can I first ask why you want a stage pole instead of a removable floor to ceiling pole?
-
Nice to see you back! I wanted to add that paid users can still upload videos from their profile. This makes it easier for me to provide feedback if someone want’s it.

This is one of my favorite intermediate level, spinning pole routines.
Departure – A practice in flow and expressing sadness, emptiness or longing. The first half of the tutorial contains minimal verbal cues, the second provided more in-depth cues for all movements.
How many combos or routines have you tried here? Which one is your favorite?
-
You totally can. I’m definitely not saying everyone should stop pole dancing if they’re pregnant. I will say, it’s not ok for instructors to tell women exactly what pole tricks are suitable when pregnant because everyone is very different. There just isn’t a once size fits all for pregnancy and pole so my goal is to provide a guideline so everyone can make the best decision for themselves. If you’re curious about my pregnancy pole journey I have a compilation video if you’re interested. 😄

That’s wonderful you’re still pole dancing.

Hi 👋 If you are new to exercise I would suggest doing floor work on the same day you do the program. Then you can keep your rest days.
If you’re not new to exercise you could do the floor work tutorials on active rest days. 💜

Two new workouts have been added to the Classroom!
These are both roughly one hour long classes and they’re suitable for everyone. However, if you suffer from Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), hyper mobility, perimenopause, menopause or have loose, tight or weak feeling joints. These videos could change your life and dramatically improve your pole practice.
More information can be found in the video descriptions.

I’ve been watching some of Menopause Barbies videos and I love her. I thought I’d share this video as it goes well with mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ-OaC0KTZE&list=PLOUBdLFwUtyYimWltwfsEQneVYjIaMQH-&index=10

noted 🙂

@szarlotka my kids are pretty chill, we all enjoy hanging out together. I feel like a cool mom which probably means I’m not lol
-
Yeah, @Prilladonna everyone usually only thinks about muscles getting stronger or bigger. However, we can also improve the strength of our tendons which connect our muscles to the bones and ligaments which provide stability! This does happen when we do exercises to strength the muscle, but you can also target the joints more through specific movement patterns.
This has made such a huge difference for me!
Right now I’m pretty sure I’ll film a routine for everyone, but I’m not sure if I should do one longer one or a few shorter. I’m open to suggestions.

Hey, hey! A new class has been added. This one is all about Pole Climbs and the Crucifix. As always, we start with our warm up, then move into our trick practice, followed by a fun choreography using everything we covered!

More resources are always welcome! I know I’ve had a hell of a time finding anything useful. 💜

There isn’t much about post menopause other than the same advice about diet and knowing yourself applies. It’s an ok RANT IMO.

Episode 10 is up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_RHQholLn8
Here’s the link for my 30 minute hips and pelvis routine https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/hips-and-pelvis-routine-live-lesson-1810/?current-category=49
Here’s a breakdown of what I’ve found has help me:
1. Spending time in the sun and nature.
2. Avoid prepackaged foods, if I do eat them, I check the ingredients and always choose whole grains.
3. Eat very little sugar.
4. I eat more protein than before, including tofu and non dairy yogurt for gut health.
5. Eat to prevent inflammation, I love real ginger tea and sauerkraut.
6. I use cannabis in the evening for sleep, inflammation and muscle recovery.
7. Journal to find patterns in my cycle and life.
8. I find ways to regulate my nervous system. Mediation, music, playing guitar, hugging my dog etc.
9. I no longer “identify” as a woman in perimenopause, but I still honor my bodies changing needs.
10. TARGET TRAINING MY JOINTS! Before this I was having a hard time sleeping because my joints would feel like they’re about to fall off my bones! It was so uncomfortable.
I’m fully aware that I’m just beginning the process of moving into my next phase of life so by no means I’m I stating to be an expert. This is not medical advice. I’m also not trying to downplay anyones struggles or experience with perimenopause and menopause. I know when hormones are not balanced they do very crazy things as I experienced this with my birth control struggles, you feel totally out of control. I did feel like I was living in a different body until more recently when I changed my diet and perspective.
