    I'm guessing we might be too far south, but we are in Fredericksburg VA.  About a hour south of DC, just off of 95.

    If your'e facing the wall and trying to kick up to it, you're comprimising your form before you even get started.  It's very very difficult to get back to a neutral position from that way. 

    Your best bet is to face away from the wall and learn to walk your feet up the wall. Once you build up the strength you'll walk your hands closer and closer to the wall until you are in your handstand.  Then it's just a matter of not touching the toe to the wall. This will keep you in a more stacked, aligned position.  If you don't have an instructor to check your alignment then at least take a picture and check the head position. Or post the pic here and we can check.

    Call Randy, I'll bet he can help.  That happened to one in our studio literally the day we got it. My husband was able to put it back together with no problem.

    December 9, 2011 at 11:58 am in reply to: sessions, punch cards, monthly memberships…oh my

    As a new studio we offer a 1 time drop in or class punch cards with expirations dates. 1 class is the most expensive then it gets cheaper the more classes you put on the punch card.  Believe it or not, I'm not legally allowed to offer monthly or yearly memberships.  To do that the studio is requireed to have an insurance company write a surety bond in case you it is to go out of business and leave all those memberships hanging. (The punch cards seem to be a loophole around this.)

    On occasion we offer a session that has a specific focus for 4 or 6 weeks, but they are a special offer so the student commits for a few weeks then goes back to a regular schedule.

    Lil Mynx will do that if they are permanent mounts. He said not more than 11 ft on a removable.

    Don't the hooks up the front scratch up the pole?  I really like these!

    I've been following this closely because I am also putting Lil Mynx in my new studio. I'm interested in which type of pole you selected?  I personally have a black powder coated one and really like it, but he said most people choose stainless steel for studios because they are easier to care for. The powder coated ones are going to require some strict procedures about removing and storing. But reading on here tells me Lil Mynx SS has a reputation for being very slippery and I don't want girls to be frustrated with their lessons because they don't stick. 

    I'm interested to hear which ones you've chosen. You might help me make my decision!

    What ever happened to the first girl in the audition in the first link on this thread? She looked very good in the clip. Did she make it through?
