I stocked up on patio furniture cushions and they work like a charm! A couple of times now I’ve been glad they were there (stupid cold stainless https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif ), and knowing you’ve got a cushy place to land if something does go wrong gives you the guts to try new things! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_blackeye.gif

Very cool thread! Its neat to check into people I haven’t really heard of yet! I love Jenyne and Elizabeth, but I think Veena, Fleur, and Blondebird rock too!
Edit: I just realized that 4 out of 5 of these gals have an SV account and I haven’t befriended any of them – does that make me a total creeper or what!

Ya don’t worry about it. I was pretty concerned when I chose that same option and it arrived no problem in just a few days!

I don’t think you’re being a wuss. That or we’re both wussy. I totally agree that its sort of intimidating. I thought since I picked up on the chair right away, a one-handed chair would be easy, but I just couldn’t really trust myself. I tried the reverse grab, but was complicating the coordination in my head and kept knocking back into the pole without enough momentum. Then one day I was just walking around my pole on the balls of my feet, in circles and circle and circles with my hand as high up as it would go. Somehow my body ended up further ahead then my hand and being tired of the circles, I just picked my feet up off the ground. Anyways I ended up accidentally doing that reverse grab that I’d been trying way too hard to get! I tried it a few more times and aced it! Then the other one handed moves came so much easier to me.
Take it slowly. Make sure you’ve got the strength!!! Keep that shoulder down and back. Don’t try too hard, and just trust yourself. If you watch someone else do it enough times, your brain will know what to do.

Thats….
a) Insulting – who are they to blindly judge and label your hobbie?
b) Disriminatory – something tells me if you were a huge football fan and went online to check player stats, or loved to cook and went to get a new recipe, or had a thing for knitting and wanted an new pattern,there wouldn’t be an issue.BOO.

Oh, I like those ones – cause I can do them at home while I am watching TV or something. No sweating, heavy breathing or passing out in front of other people to worry about! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Thanks!
Amen to that https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Buuutttt…. if you alternate between the two and do them as fast as possible, you also get the cardio aspect and burn a ton of calories! You could add some squats or something the other girls mentioned for sort of like a 10 minute crossfit workout. Try and beat your record time every time you do it.
PS Momma – I think I have your knuckle problem! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif Is it going away for you?

Poor tiggertail! Feel better soon! I hate the thought of falling! I figure I’m going to go out and grab a large stack of lawn furniture pads/cushions for crash mats https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif and just take things slowly. I’m a massage therapist, and if I fall and hurt myself, I’m in serious trouble!

Lunges and straight leg deadlifts work like a dang for your glutes and hamstrings!

Does anyone know if Veena has Yogini or Aysha lessons? I don’t think all the lessons are organized into the different levels yet and I’m not sure if I’ve seen them somewhere or not.

Hehe! Poleophile, you’re my hero https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Thanks ladies https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
And Serzi you’re right about the whole body-type thing! I’m wondering if my height has something to do with me struggling so much with the knee hold and star https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif
I’ll have to keep practicing. -
That is SO awesome Man Candy! I’ve never thought about it that way! Thanks for sharing – I’m gonna save that and look back at it from time to time https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
Hope it went well polegrrrrl! I’m sure you rocked it

Never mind guys! I got it! I got it! I did it THREE times and the third time lasted a while and was even almost pretty! YAY!
I agree with you hellokitty – you do need to try and keep your arm down.
I also realized I have to really arch my hips back into the pole!!!My armpit is SCREAMING! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif But I’m still happy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Alright newbies! The verdict is in! If you’re considering getting a DVD for poling… Live Once gets two huge thumbs up! I ordered Jamilla’s AOP at the same time, and while I have nothing against Jamilla or AOP, I really, really LOVED the Live Once DVD. When I think about it, there are A LOT more things I liked about Live Once, including the price! I can’t wait to order the advanced DVD.

Anjilis said nothing is wrong! She pointed out that we’re all to hard on our own selves.
I’m not sure if you can buy the product anywhere. Its a service you can have done at a salon or spa.
