  • Yoga on Off-Pole Days?

    Posted by JoleneBell on February 21, 2014 at 1:25 pm

    I did a search on SV for an answer to this, and couldn’t find it. Is yoga okay to perform on my cardio-only days? In other words, my off-pole days.
    Since yoga is a strengthening exercise, but can be gentle, I’m unsure.
    I’m also trying to figure out what best works for me with my schedule. I tend to have only 2 1/2 hours per morning if I get up at 5, to work out, so I’m trying to stagger what I can into those blocks of time. I also can do exercises while hubby and I watch tv at night, but I don’t know that I want to take a full-on hot shower in order to do stretches during that time.

    Okay, so I guess I mixed in a few questions ha!

    To sum up: 1. Can I do yoga on my off-pole days? 2. Any ideas on how to get started stretching (I don’t have a foam roller yet) and how often? 3. How long (estimate) can I pole without over-doing it?

    I know everybody is different! Any and all input is super appreciated!

    Yes, gentle light yoga is one of the suggestions for Rejuvenation days. It’s covered in one of the early 30 day lessons, so it could be one you missed 🙂

    Oh and….You don’t need a roller to start stretching, and I would suggest watching EACH of the “getting started” lessons place at the beginning of every lesson section, these will give you the answers you’re looking for.

    Oh, Veena, how I love thee. You’re like this magic pole fairy-godmother that sprinkles pole magic on everyone and shows them the light.
    THANK YOU. 🙂
