    Im going! I'm doing the Spins class with Nadia, Veena's, and the handstand class. I'd love to meet up…I'm pretty much going alone. My husband will be with me on the trip, but not at the classes and seminars, just Saturday nights show.

    Yea, all they can say is "no", then you move on to the next person. 🙂

    I've met a few good friends from online forums.

    I had a girl from this site contact me. We each have a pole, but she usually comes to my house since I have a designated pole room with a 10ft pole and 2 walls with floor to ceiling mirrors.

     

    So maybe just look on this site for people in your area and ask if they'd be up for working out together sometime. FYI she and I met in public the first time to make sure we werent creepers on the internet. We met in Dec. and hang out weekly…not always just to pole, either!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

    " You dont have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great!"

    I couldnt do ANYTHING when I started(over a yr ago), just had my first baby via C-section, and was weaker than a fly! I just did the dancy stuff to make me feel better, then I did strength stuff with the tricks and spins. I didnt find this site until a few months into my journey. Dont worry about others, just worry about yourself. To me, pole is about falling in love with yourself….let it happen over time, little bit, by little bit! 🙂

     

    DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!!!

    Quick note on dental ins.- think of it more as a coupon! Sadly dental ins is not where it needs to be, and I highly recommend not letting the ins dictate your care!

    Mini lesson on in network dental ins- they say they will cover 100/50% of their fees. So… They decide how much a procedure should cost(?!?). Let’s say you get a filling, Dr. Says its $200, ins says it should be $100. If they say the will cover it at 50%, remember that 50% of what they think it should cost… Making it a whopping coverage of $50! Woohoo. I’m sorry… But no good medical procedure can be done right for $50!! Ya feel what I’m saying? A lot of care gets lost at those fees because the dr has no choice but to keep providing quantity over quality care. Things like good material, continuing education for all the staff in the office, sterilization, modern, up to date practices( I’m not talk about pretty decor, I’m talking about the current ways of doing certain procedures).

    The most I’ve seen coverage wise, was a max of $2500 a year… And we have 32 teeth in our head! Ugh….. It makes me mad just to think about it 🙁

    With a root canal, you’re taking a live/ infected tooth and making it a non vital tooth. There is nothing being done to the bone, which is the foundation to ALL teeth.

    An implant is essentially tooth replacement. The entire tooth (root and crown) is removed from the bone and an implant is placed. It can take a while( everyone’s body reacts differently to different things) for the bone to accept and implant, and for it to secure around it properly, to then add the crown and allow for full function of chewing and such.

    The reason implants are SO wonderful( compared to other options like bridges, dentures, partial dentures etc.) is because implants preserve the bone. The jaw bone needs stimulation in order to keep from … Basically disappearing for good. Once you lose a tooth and don’t replace it with an implant you lose bone and jeprodize ALL the other teeth in you mouth! It’s a domino affect, slow… But it does happen.

    I can talk your ear off about dentistry, and LOVE to do so! Patient dental education is my passion( like pole) and I love to help people truly understand it all. I know most people write off their dentist, and that hurts me. Lol because I KNOW the importance of oral health. Dentists are not gimmicks, line some think they are 😉

    I’m a CDA( certified dental asst.). I would NOT invert until the Dr. Checks you! Basic spins and some dancy stuff should be ok… Which tooth was it? And did you say your getting an implant? If so, don’t risk messing any of that up. Implants are the best, no point jeprodizing the surgical site!! Let me know if you have any questions

    August 11, 2012 at 10:17 pm in reply to: Lost: 1 set of Boobs

    I have big boobs, double D's currently, and tripple D's when I first started poling( implants at that!). They get in the way! I cant get any inverted forearm grips because they get in the way, the armpit holds took me forever to master because the boobs get in the way. They fall out of all the cute pole clothes, and they are extra weight to carry around. I cant wait to have them reduced! Had I been into pole before I got the implants 5yrs ago, I would NOT have done it. They are fine otherwise…they just dont mesh well with pole for me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
