Yoga as a warmup??
So as title suggests I’m wondering if I can use a yoga routine as a pole warm up? I’ve started up yoga in past few months and I’ve kept them separate but if I could do this then I would be able to much more pole during the week!
Thanks in advance for your thoughts! -

Heck yes! I’ve been doing pole for 4 years and hatha yoga for the past year. Yoga has SERIOUSLY improved my pole and I like to practice after a good yoga session. I also teach and incorporate lots of yoga into warm ups for my classes. I’ve found sun salutations very effective for warming up muscles.
Also, many yoga moves translate into pole, especially elements of floor work 🙂

Ooooo awesome!! I’m really excited now! I’ve only been doing sun salutation and crescent moon salutations at the moment so I was going to ask about that!! Oh that’s great, I’m really enjoying yoga and when I finish I always feel like doing pole after!
One question about rest days! Do you have yoga rest days? I feel like I could do it everyday is that okay? -
Rest days are hard, but I would say you need to give your body at least one day to rest. Personally, I do yoga on Saturdays and Wednesdays (with a little pole for myself afterwards). I teach Tuesdays and Thursdays and do private lessons Sundays and Mondays. Friday I force myself to rest.
I’m really excited for you and your journey with pole and yoga! Just make sure to listen to your body!
