I think your fiancé is right. You need to just go for a lesson.. it might be discouraging at first, but it will come back quickly.
We actually had a talk about it in class yesterday, now someone wanted to wait until they got stronger to come to pole… well my instructor said “the reason you come to pole is to get stronger” (one of the reasons anyway)
But it’s an excuse I would use too.. and numerous time I have said that about attending pole camps and conventions (I’m not good enough yet) BUT it really is like the people who say they need to lose weight before they start going to the gym. It doesn’t make sense.
Try not to focus on what you’ve lost, focus on what you love about pole… and just have fun. Maybe don’t worry about nailing old tricks or even new ones… Just like try and discover a new side of pole so it feels like exploration and not regression.
Good luck 🙂

Mean Girl Productions is in the US. A girl at my studio has one. Its really nice.
I’m guessing they have a patent in the US or something thats why the Xpole warmer isn’t sold here. Thats just speculation.
The UK one is 80 US dollars (if you convert), the Mean Girl one i think is 125. 🙂

Ok, you guys are seriously so amazing. I was just waiting for my day to calm down so I could sit and read all this amazingness and respond!
Shoog, I’ve never tried kundalini. I will check it out because it sounds really great. I love yoga, but I need to get back into it. So here in brief is my yoga journey… I started going to those MeetUp events, the best one were free yoga meet ups. They happen like once every month or 2. Different studios hosted and they are cool places… like the art museum, or gardens. I really liked it. Especially the ones in the garden. That instructor was magical. From some of the people there I was informed that Lulu Lemon had (free) yoga each Sunday morning. So I decided to give that a go with a new friend I’d met (outside of the MeetUp circle)
We started going in the summer and while we didn’t go EVERY week. We tried to go as much as possible. It was always a really nice stretch and I felt good and relaxed afterwards. Then the magical instructor came and did a class at Lulu.. and I like really fell in love with her again. The flow was amazing, and she just beams positive energy. When in savasana she put her hands on my face and it was so powerful. I tried to get my friend to come to her studio with me, but she isn’t interested in paying.. she just wants to keep going to free yoga (She didn’t find it as magical as I did anyway). So I was fine with that… but lately the vibe at Lulu changed and people have been quite rude. And it’s really put me off. However my friend still wants to go, and I feel kind of bad ditching her to go to a studio when she doesn’t want to. (I think this ties in with PoleKat’s putting others before ourselves)
I really need to get back into it, but I really have felt a bit bitter the last few weeks and how snoody and rude people were (it’s Princeton, so it can be a rich snobby town university town, I’m used to it.. but this was more then normal, and it wasn’t the young people. It was the middle aged women who were just rude). I might just try a class with the instructor I like on my own and see how I feel. Find my yoga bliss again.
I’d really like to incorporate it into my daily life more. I was doing great with the yoga challenges and loving them, but I was burning out a little… and now with the pole challenge it’s a lot.
And sometimes I feel like I’m cheating on pole with yoga. Plus I also have some strength training I’ve been meaning to do. Sigh! I guess these are good problems to have in the scheme of things.PoleKat, I completely sympathize! I had people visit for 2 weeks in Dec and while I loved the visit I just needed my normal routine and my Me-time. It was very hard and stressful. *hugs*
I think we are all on this search for that balance. I love all your words and I think I need to re-read both of your responses like a million more times and absorb all your loveliness!

Smart decision to address things head on.
Thanks for filling me in! I go back and forth on wanting to join FB… But I think I’ll just hide here and on IG for the meantime.

No problem AZ. I’m not on Facebook so I feel like i miss a lot. I just saw the one random post and couldn’t find any more about it until UPA posted that. Really insane.
I know many were disappointed Pole Con was canceled last year, but it seemed to be handled way in advance and in a much better manner.

I feel bad for all the people who traveled there, only to turn on their phones when they landed and see it was canceled! It’s nice that people are pulling together other events.
I looked for an official statement when I saw Michelle’s post… But saw nothing, only presale for 2016.
Hope it works out and people still have fun. 🙁

Here is a pic just cause I do think it’s cute.
