Thanks Chem and Veena 🙂  I think now I've got the placement right but I have layed off of the move for the last couple days. It was the first two times I tried it where I was probably a bit off but I'm not sure for this move what would be considered normal soreness and what would be a warning for injury. If anyone can tell me what was normal for them when they learned this I'd really appreciate the input.

I'm with Paunobs. I've read bits and peices of info here and there people who live a more solitary life die sooner than people with loved ones. I think it's almost a biological instinct to seek affection. There are even cases of animals that will assimilate to other species or try to form an attatchment with them if they are isolated from their group.

We all have different tastes which is totally fine with me. I just found the word trashy to be too harsh to describe the photos of another member here. I think Golgotha had an interesting point. I've seen lots of explicit content on facebook but I've never heard of anyone trying to clean it up out of fear it will reflect poorly on them. If you are secure with yourself the way someone else chooses to portray themselves shouldn't matter enough to put them down.

The ones at my local studio are 4×4. I just ended up buying a bunch of huge body pillows from walmart and plan on sticking them together with velcro when I have time. They are 20in. wx48in. L/51cm x 122cm. Two layers makes me feel safe!

Ooh I want the pink ones!

PS The first one (lala) for clothing or fashion merchandise but not for a pole studio

I like Lala Couture it has whimsy to it in my opinion. I like Ribbon and Thorn because it's a bit edgy but for me that name would depend on your target market  and/or what your selling.

If it's not over stretching maybe it's the type of stretching you are doing? Have you also worked up to holding each stretch for 30 seconds to a minute?

(I've heard for a stretch to be effective it has to be done longer than 30 seconds but I'm no expert or certified at anything so any of my advice is not any sort of official guideline)

My individual insight: I made progress with the 6 week program and Alethea's pure splits. I have no gymnastics background and could never do the splits when I was younger.

Hey Lyme. I do gels too. Your nails looked gread in you vid by the way. I still have to try this but here are two tutorials on using regular nail polish with a gel system

The tip I keep reading is to make sure the regular polish is thoroughly dry so it won't crack underneath the get coat.

Also I don't know about this product from personal experience but I saw the makers of this on Shark tank

You are not allowed to check the pole?

If your teacher is open to helping you learn your style and willing to veer away from her norm then what about emailing her links of vids with polers doing your style?

Maybe if she can see exactly what your after or at least something along the lines of it. She might be able to do a better job of showing you what you are after. 

I once had a pole instructor who I took privates from and we'd go online and I'd show her moves or transitions I wanted to learn and she would break them down for me.
