To be honest, I sort of got the shoulder mount ‘by accident’, as in I was just trying it for fun and it worked. However, I had a private pole class a couple of months ago, and the instructor was teaching me to get my core trained up so I don’t need to ‘jump’ into it, which is exactly what Veena’s lesson has. Yes it’s harder from the floor, but the hardest way, in this case, is the best way!
In terms of SM in general, I found the shoulder V easier, well I could just do it before I could mount. The key with mounting, I feel, is keeping your body curved, and then pushing your upper body away from the pole as soon as your legs are holding you on the pole – to avoid collarbone-pole contact. Ouch. Actually if there’s another way to do this I’d love to know! And regarding sliding down the pole – make sure your shoulder is bare as much as possible, start doing it with just a sports bra on and no tshirt and squeeeeze your shoulder into the pole. It hurts https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Hi! I live in Dublin too! Where do you pole?

Ahh im excited! It’s hard to think of moves on the spot, how about flatline scorpio? Also i’d be really interested in combos, like moving in and out of different moves. Can’t wait to see the new lessons https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Eww how creepy! You dont want a guy who has keys to your home to be a creepy perv!! Glad you’re getting out of there!

I had exactly the same issue in our place. Said nothing to the landlord, and so far, so good https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Have fun!!

Here is a vid, the first move is the best i have managed so far in terms of an aysha, want to know where to go from here really!

Thanks Tracy, i’ll take a look at that website. I know nothing about hoops, are there loads of different types, can you recommend one?
-
Not necessarily trouble shooting, I know I mostly just need heaps of practise! Its more like what’s easiest? and what are the stepping stones between basic forearm butterfly… split grip extended butterfly… to aysha. I will try and upload a vid later this evening though and will post a link, so you can see where I’m coming from https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Hi Melanie, I’m in Dublin. I use Veena’s lessons, never been to a pole class! You’ll be fine https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

So sorry this happened to you. I was in the same situation when buying my pole. The stud finder beeped continually. I tried to persuade my bf this meant it was okay, but he wasn’t to be fooled! It turns out stud finders don’t work on plaster ceilings. SO we had to pop out the light and look in to find the joist. I’m sure it’s just cosmetic repair at this stage. Best of luck with taking the pole down.
And when you put it back up, it may be worth having someone (maybe the plasterer) to take out a light fitting and locate a joist with a torch! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I have eczema, and there is a thread about it from a few weeks ago so if you search eczema you’ll find it. Corn huskers is supposed to be good for dry skin, bt if it’s eczema cream youre looking for, amlactin seems to be recommended (although its non existent in ireland so i cant get my hands on it yet!) I also like dexeryl, but its really greasy so I use it non poling days, and on days I pole, I either use it after im finished on the pole, or i apply cream, but just make sure i shower before I touch the pole! Also, elave bodywash is good too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
