I’ve been trying this too!
I found this video which was pretty helpful, not quite an extended butterfly so I found it a bit easier:

Also found that from an inverted D it was ok to try…. I haven’t quite got the jackknife yet it yet but getting there https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I dont rest my head on the floor like he does, I’ve been told it puts too much pressure on your neck
I rest my head on my arms for it’s very near to the floor but my weight is not on my head/neck

I couldnt climb properly or site for ages either, I’ve also got teeny arms so you’re not alone!
Even now I can do a lot of advanced moves, I still find climbing can be a bit of a challenge sometimes so I’ve had to work on it a lot more (it doesn’t help that my pole is so short though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
Just want to chime in on the small size body https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif (I deal with blood pressure cuff too) I am also very thin, but have developed strength I never thought I would. I have always worked out with some form of aerobics, very good power flex class for years, etc. However, when started poling it was as if I’d never done anything. It’s different dealing with lifting own body weight. It comes with time, strengthening and learning new moves in baby steps. And each new trick or hold starts over with building strength, for me anyway. I use a lot of veena’s strength training, it works wonders, as well as her lessons! Poling also takes patience, which can be as difficult as learning new moves. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
Like hookedonpole, I’ve developed strength I never thought I’d have through doing pole but I hadn’t done any real exercise since school (apart from walking) until I started pole. I literally had no muscle and now I feel strong https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Because i pretty much started from scratch, I had no upper body strength so concentrated on doing pole lifts and moves like the teddy hold (with hands) in order to get used to holding my body weight and strengthening my arms. It really worked and now I find a lot of other pole moves easier because I took time to develop my strength. Thats not meaning to say that I didnt spend a long time being frustrated that I couldnt do certain moves but I put the time and it does really pay off https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gifGood luck! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I dont know of any purpose built pole studios either round here sadly. Most random thing though…. I’ve done all my classes at Pink ladies, did you go to a follow on class?? I dont go to the follow-ons cos I have a pole at home but when i went back for the next course my friend Emma said an Irish girl was there who was really good and very graceful! I’m guessing this was you??? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
Also was the lady at YMCA called Kat? That will be too random if it was https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I had the same problem finding nice pole outfits in the UK so I had a hunt around and managed to find great booty shorts in H&M and they’re only about £4 for 3 shorts https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

yey congratulations! It took me ages to get the cruxifix too… like you said, I just couldnt get enough grip to take my hands off but when I did it felt goooood and it is a huge accomplishment. It’s great to hear when someone achieves a move they’ve been trying for ages whether it’s beginner or not https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
As Veena said… boast away! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I did thank you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif decided I’m going to get Veena’s lessons instead at the moment as Id like to be able to look at all moves from different levels https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
