You can find the little wrist bands at any pharmacy like CVS, Walmart, etc. they are stretchy and have a little white plastic dot that is supposed to put pressure on a trigger point in the wrist. Some say they work and some say they don’t.
You can always take non-drowsy Dramamine or other motion sickness pills, but I prefer to try other remedies before resorting to meds

Are you breathing properly? If you do not continue to breath properly throughout the entire class, you can get dizzy and nauseous. Also, be sure you stay hydrated and drink plenty after class as well. Many moves in aerial yoga can srimulate the lymphatic system causing toxins to be released. So, if you are not drinking enough to flush those out you can feel sick as well.
You can also try wearing the pressure point wrist bands used for morning sickness during class.

Note in the handstand entry method I did not go into a full brass monkey bc I was working on sitting up from it. So u won’t see a full brass monkey but it shows the basic entry method.

I learned it from a quasi sit (see 4/24/14 practice video I posted. It’s about half-way through the video. I use the floor to assist getting Into position. This helps when u are first learning. ) and also from inverting from the floor into it (see handstand entry video I posted.). I enjoy the second entry method more.

Veena has a video discussing hip flexor a and how to lengthen them so you can then work on improving splits, straddles, etc.

I too have long legs but am not flexible at all. Samantha Starr is shorter and she is VERY flexible.

If u r going to use deodorant use Sweatblock. It is online only (google it). You apply it once a week and it works. Certain dry is good too but it’s a daily use. U put these on at night and they prevent sweating. They are not for putting on right before pole class. It is a preventative measure vs a “grip aid”.

I am 44 and started pole a little over a year ago. I have no background in gymnastics, dance, etc. Closest I ever can to a dance was Zumba. I was not in shape when I started pole either.

I try to do at least 3 days a week. 2 of them are usually 2-3 hrs long and 1 of them is an hour.

You can also do a thigh rest/apprentice, lean back and hook into a Scorpio.

They are the same. Different studios use different terms. You will find that a lot in pole and there are many variations to moves as well.
-
Climb the pole and with your forearm grip do a pole hang. Then going across the body hook your “top” knee and lower your body down into a jasmine. From there you can lower your body the rest of the way and move from a gemini to a Scorpio. Sounds more complicated than it is.

You should be able to practice or take lessons elsewhere especially if you are getting something here that is not available (for whatever reason) at your current studio. O. If you grow in your own pole skills that will make you a better instructor. I am sure you will have to adhere to the teaching method of the studio in which you work and of course could tell students to go to the other studio for lessons. I would refrain from sharing a you have learned there with students even if it is in a casual manner.

In the US it will depend on city or county ordinances as well as laws pertaining to public property vs private property. If the space is owned by the local,city, state or federal government you will have to adhere to whatever regulations that outlined by that government.
