Yep, way over 40! Weird to “type” now cause I don’t feel like it or act like it. Studied in a studio for almost a year. I’m 56 this year and pole makes me happy! And, I love my SV pole! I’ve been on extended travel so have been away for four months but I will be back home to the pole next month. I can’t wait…I’ll be starting the SV lessons…again! 😃

lilredrobinhood – Very well said. A different example: I learned how to ride a motorcycle and anticipated that I would be a certain kind of rider. After I rode for a while I discovered that my expectations and what I wanted out of the sport took a 180 degree turn from what I thought it would be. As with pole, it’s about the journey. Enjoy and welcome. And by the way, when my lil brother (45 yrs old) heard I had a pole he admitted that he wanted to pole. Now that was a surprise, and a very cool one too!

Love this guy! One of my favs. I think besides the obvious pole skills, his personality comes shining through! http://youtu.be/1lmejPu2CPk – Vladimir Karachunov

Shadow21. I just want to say that I understand and cyber-hug. It is a terrible feeling but time will take care of it. It is great to have such a supportive environment here at SV.

Legs4Days. I wanted to thank you for these words as they are helpful for me as well. Also, I want to thank this venue (i.e., Veena) for sharing this website and newsletter. Very helpful. Additionally, I have been researching yoga as a lifestyle change. Here is an article http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-12962/the-dos-donts-of-helping-a-friend-whos-depressed.html , from that website on depression that is worth the read. It’s about how to help others, but I think it can be applied to oneself as well.

Looks great! Thank you!

We’ve all had these days! And we still do…and they suck. Emotions can drive us, sparked by something as simple as stepping on the scale. The dark cloud arrives suddenly. Just ride out the “storm!” Crank the music loud, close your eyes, dance, and hug the pole. This too shall pass. Numbers don’t mean anything! Remember, you are strong because you are a poler! Do not forget it! Also, best advice I ever heard from a dear friend was, “it may matter today, but it won’t matter tomorrow.” Additionally, here is a video I came across yesterday. Turns out my nemesis has his own video. Who knew?! Ahhh…a face for the battle somehow makes it easier? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpRo1Gb1FOg — Now, you…hear…me?! Take over that pole and love you! Tomorrow is a new day!

Call your local “UPS Store.” http://www.theupsstore.com/Pages/index.aspx
If you can provide dimensions, weight, and where it is going they may be able to give you a “guesstimate” of shipping cost.

SV – It makes perfect sense! Thank you! Getting more challenging for me now. I like it. You really have an excellent program.

Yep SV…I have a small “injury” and I don’t even know what the heck I did. But then again, it’s been this way since Valentine’s Day (hehe).

Yes, you can be sore two days later. And longer. I am guilty of letting my enthusiasm for pole be a catalyst for injury. I had pulled a chest muscle about a year ago. It was bad. Be very, very careful! Your muscles are trying to tell you they need to rest. Perhaps a nice hot epsom salts bath? Use your pole time to watch videos or create a music play list so that you still feel in touch with your pole journey. Please rest! Meanwhile, I am headed to my pole room now. I know, I will pole for you today!

Thanks Veena! You don’t know how many times I’ve watched your video, even the warm up walking around the pole thinking, is she walking 4 times? 6 times? Boy was that clock kinda pounded into our newbie heads at the pole studio.
Your teaching style is relaxed and you share your confidence and a belief in your students. Thank you. Thank you.

Hi Lina, Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it and you are very helpful. The walk was in today’s “30 Day Challenge, Day 8. I have to laugh to myself a little as I think about my earlier post because when my first pole teacher taught us to “go around the pole like a clock,” she could never teach in the opposite direction. It then became the “mirror, wall, and window.” *lol* I continue to be impressed with the SV program. And, I was happy with myself today with “pole pushups” (chair..I’m new). I can even see a light at the end of the “pole hold” tunnel. I’m progressing. Albeit very slow, I can definitely see progress. And it’s very exciting! Especially from an out of shape 55 year old point of view!

I just met someone for the first time, and during our dinner conversation she commented on the shape of my arms and asked me if I worked out. I was ah, huh? What!? Really?!
