First, welcome and gz for getting a pole! you'r life may never be the same again 🙂 about your first experience, don't worry it's totally normal! when I first got my pole for a while I suspected I've been sold a fake, or that I've bought a diferent kind of pole from the one I've seen other people do tricks on.. I had no strength, no grip, no skills, no clue…

I'd recomend, besides what Sasha87 said, to find a local studio, classes always help, or get the lessons here. Veena's lessons are excelent and very well organized, plus you'll find everything you need to start building strenght and flexibility. If you can, get both options! Its hard learning on your own, but dont despair, it gets better faster than you think 🙂

I'm a bit late sorry, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 😉 xxx

just have to say, totally agree with Charley… I was convinced that the best way to progress was to teach… well wrong! the body can only take so much… but I do love teaching and figure out tricks to pass to others even If I can't do them myself, so its all good 🙂

[Legend]

got it! that's close enough, I'll contact them and try to drop by. thank you 🙂

[Legend]

nailed it the other day! one of the favorites now 😉 thanks! xx

Oh.. btw not sure it its the right name, I call it reverse straight edge.

yep it is very hard, but once you find the right point of ballance, just need abbs of steel to hold it 😉 I can do it so you'll get it too 🙂

I used to have my studio there, and at the time it was the only one…. Where in the Algarve are you staying? I can ask if something opened recently.

[Legend]

So… I was able to do it from a stargazer but almost lost my grip and fell on my head… very hard and dangerous trick… beware and use a crash mat!

I'm all for!!! I smoke it regularly since a young teenager for medicinal (best thing for insonia, depression, lack of apetite, anxiety, etc) and recreational purpuses (surely much better than alcohol!!) … my favorite plant! 😉
