I have two FB accounts. One pole and one non-pole. I’m barely on my non-pole one and I just use it about once a month to check in on my family and conservative friends https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

I personally love to see and hear about older women who are poling b/c it gives me hope that I can continue.

I have them. I got them for 25 b/c I joined the pfa. They are mostly for defining terminology and giving standardized names to all the grips, leg positions, moves, spins, climbs, etc. They also classify the moves into beg, int and adv. The backs of all the cards are just lines for notes. There aren’t any explanations. I think they are worth it, but then again, I use in my pole teacher certification course. I think if you’re a beginner it’d be cool to go through them and check off all the ones you can tackle!

I’ll be 40 on December 1st and I would love to see this topic. I’ve been poling since 36 and I have noticed subtle changes in my body. I know that more than anything us older ladies need to protect our joints and tendon b/c they are more susceptible to injury. And then there are the feelings and insecurities that one is too ‘old’ to do pole. I’ve definitely slowed down on my practice and I think this is playing into it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

I did a workshop with her this summer and she told me that they are filmed but she hasn’t had the time to do anything with them since she won the title. Why don’t you write to her on FB and ask her? I’m sure a ton of people are wondering the same thing!

What type of EDS do you have? I suspect I have type 2 or 3. I am waiting for my dr appt. in November to be sure. I have neurally mediated hypotension and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and I’ve read that EDS and NMH can be linked. I black out several times a day when I stand up and have chronic fatigue syndrome. I am also very flexible, my fingers and toes bend backwards and my thumbs can touch my forearms. Luckily I don’t have dislocations but I do have very stretchy skin. Be careful girl! Maybe you need to wear a brace while you are stretching…

Hey everyone! I won’t be doing any workshops (just did becca butcher’s and Kyra + Marlo’s doubles workshop at EMW – you can’t go wrong for $40). I will be at the competition though. In fact I have an extra ticket if anyone still needs one. Let me know if any of you are interested. Since I live an hour away, I’ll be driving there and back that day.

Reenie, I’m a 34D or a 36C chest and my waist is 28". My weight goes between 125-129. I tried the snow white on again last night and the skirt is really roomy. The top is tightn me but I have implants so most tops are a tough fit on me anyway. The arm cuffs fit. I didn’t realize you aren’t supposed to put them over your biceps. they go over the elbow according to the picture and they fit just fine. I’d say the cups in the top are a B-C.

I was lucky enough to have front row seats! I knew enough to book a workshop with her prior to her win and I’m so glad I did! She taught us all her tricks and such from her performance including the amazing fan kick to scorpio drop – you need a wierd inside arm grip to pull it off and I’ve never used it before. She was humble and had no airs about her, she really just had a pure and innocent spirit about her. She was very loving with the class and fun to work with! She’s a lot smaller than I thought she’d be from her videos! Pure muscle from head to toe! And the workshops was, get this, only 40 bucks!!! Yeah for the PFA! The whole event was much cheaper than any uspdf related activity! They ENCOURAGED us to film and post! I had front row seats for only 45 and like I said, affordable workshops! The whole weekend rocked and the energy of the whole event felt so nice!!! Becca was the highlight though with her insane performance. I’ve been rooting for her for years b/c she’s competed in Pole Superstar and USPDF with no recognition. Her Amateur performance in NYC this past March for USPDF was incredible but again, no prize, so she totally deserved this win! I’m so excited for her! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Thanks Phoenix, that was so helpful! Reenie, I’d ship to CA no problem. The pirate costume will be more expensive to ship because of the hat which is fairly large although it is light. I’d say the pirate costume is the least ‘small’ of the three I have. The Marine one is stretchy but when I tried it on it was smaller and shorter than I expected. I’m a size 2-4 US sizes. The Snow White costume is a no go for me b/c the arm cuffs don’t fit me being muscular and having thicker arms. The rest of the snow white costume fits though and the skirt is pretty roomy. But they all say size small on the tags – US small and Pheonix’s size chart is pretty accurate! The marine costume to me seems to be an extra-small! Hope this helps!

When I was instructing at a local studio, the pay was $12 per hour plus $1 per student. Sometimes only one student showed up so I made a whopping $13 per hour essentially for a private lesson. Totally sucked but since I have a professional full time job with a great salary I did it for the love of it. We were strictly prohibited from discussing salary with anyone else on staff. I think some of the others made $10 per hour and some of the others made more if they had a cert when hired. When I began I had no fitness credentials but did earn an ACE group fitness and pole position fitness cert. I no longer work there and the pay is one of the reasons. I taught the advanced classes and I spent alot of my own time and money preparing myself to teach that level. The studios (Xposefitness.com) in my near local area charge between $8-$11 per 50 minute class. Sometimes you can buy a class for closer to $7 buck if you get a special. As a result, instructor pay is very low. I hear the Xpose girls make closer to $20 or more per hour because they have a lot of volume and the instructors earn more if they have more students.
Hope this helps.

Hey pp15171! I would expect that a pole teacher should be able to do floor work, one-handed spins, combination spins, CKRs, CARs, climbs, basic inverts, knee hangs, superman, catepillar climb – you get the idea. No need to do the spatchcock or death lay!
Katana, the trainings will be on weekends because I work full time during the week. You would take the written exam and submit videos after you returned home.
