@ danz16 – That means you have very good core strength https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif It was no where easy for me…lol And my instructor did not really spot for us. There were 6-7 girls in the room (all newbies) all doing an invert at the same time and she was standing at the end of the room looking at us. I was REALLY scared https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif…and I had to force myself to let go of the pole to do the Crucifix (no crash mat). I think it'll be a long while before I try that move again…I'm afraid to crack my skull…lol
About subscription – does the rate gets pro-rate if it starts in the middle of the month?

Ah!! I'm JEALOUS of Metro Detroit!! LOL Any chance Natasha might have a workshop down in Boston/Worcester area???

@ Runemist34 – I think Veena might whack me in the head if I tell her I used momentum to swing my legs up to an invert…LOL (I didn't want to do it…but my instructor INSISTED…so I did…peer pressure https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif….)
Last night in class, I had great difficulty doing a sun-dial. I can't lift both of my legs up to a 90 degrees…this tells me I REALLY need to work on my core before I try anymore invert!! sigh…
Question – Do Veena's lessons have to start at the beginning of the month? Or you can start in the middle of the month and she just charges every 30 days? Last night was my last class in that studio, I would like to start Veena's lessons soon…especially on arm and core strengthening.

Hey Ladies who used iTac2 – I got a Level 3 sample from Peter. I used it on Brass pole last night. It was weird…my hands feel REALLY sticky (too sticky?), but apparently I sweat through it (I even left sweat AND sweat print all over the pole) I end up using Mighty Grip on top of the iTac2…still didn't work….I had to wipe my hand after every move.
Is it because of the level I'm using (is level 2 really better for hands?) or the material of the pole or I just sweat too much?? I heard Tite Grip is a good anit-sweat product. Anyone tried using Tite Grip with iTac2??
I literally slipped off the pole in the middle of my spin…i was down on the hard wood floor https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif This is sooo frustrating!! T_T

@ vickiezoo- yeah, I’ve seen friends who didn’t get a job offer because of tattoos and piercings…and the one that get tattoos AFTER the job offer got pulled over for a “talk” about company’s image….
-
Congratulations!! I did an invert Crucifix the other day too but I cheated because I used momentum…sigh. I really need to work on my core and arm strength. =(

@ vickiezoo- I thought only corporate are like that…lol I work in a corporate…VERY VERY conservative….not just tattoos but also on visible excessive piercings…
-
@ sues – not sure if you read any of my post….but I'm sort in the same boat. I LOVE interacting with girls in class….but I think the pace is going TOO fast…(learning inverts after 2-3 one-hour class??)
I'm looking forward to Veena's lesson once my pole arrive https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I might still hit the studio every once in awhile…but I'm not going to sign up for regular classes anymore….TOO expensive!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

I loooove my long sleeves..as a matter of fact….it's 77 degree outside…and I'm wearing a jacket in my office…LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_viking.gif
Good luck with your tattoo!! In the meantime…I think I'll try a Henna on my lower back to see if I want something more permanent there https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I drink Almased and I only do it for a week (first 2 days you only drink the shake after that replace 2 meals a day with the shake.)
I lose maybe 7-10lbs per cycle and I don’t gain them back unless I start eating crap food continuously again…pizza…burgers…cheese…ice-cream…and did I mention ice-cream???
But, have to say…it’s TOUGH! I get all sorts of weird cravings when I’m on that diet!

Ok – the font was WAAY too small…I'm re-posting!!

Yeah…it sucks that the world we live in are still preeeetty conservative….especially working on corporate office. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
Some people are more "acceptable" then others, some people have "zero-tolerance", and some people are just plain MEAN.
Example: One of the lady in my yoga class from work asked me if I work out on the side other then yoga (we work in different department but our work place offers yoga classes during lunch hours several times a week) I told her I also do pole fitness on the side…she immediately made some MEAN comments like "Oh, you plan on working in name-of-a-nearby-strip-club after work??" Then other women starts to chime in "Yeah, you can earn some dollar bills!!" (I swear, those women are just jealous that I have a much better body and much better flexibility…I kick their butts in yoga!!) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif
However, when I told one of my other coworker about my pole-fitness, he was like "Oh, I've seen those. Pole aerobics, I saw some men that can lift their whole body at a 90 degree angle! Those are great workout where you can really build your strength." https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif(The only reason why I told this coworker is because he said he has a large mirror that he wants to get ride off and I said I WANT IT….then he asked what for?)
Back to Runemist34 – Like what other people mentioned, it really depends on what you want to do in your career. But in a corporate office, the higher you go, the more conservative the people are going to be. Don't do something that you will regret or inconvenient for yourself later.
I know I know…people shouldn't judge you by what you look like or how you dress…and that we all have the freedom to express ourselves….blah blah blah. But in reality, people DO judge…people WILL judge you in their mind and they won't even say a thing.
Don't let your personal life affect your work career and vice versa. It's hard to achieve a balance, but it's doable. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Oh- I forgot to add emphasis on WORK CLOTHES….
On non-work days I do keep my hair down…wear mini skirts…halter tops…3-4″ heels…and ofcourse pole dancing 🙂

@Runemist34 – you can get a tattoo on your back or shoulder, just somewhere you can hide it with work clothes. Most professional office environment don’t allow sleeveless, as long as it is a place you can hide comfortably with your work clothes it should be doable.
My tattoo is at my lower hip where you can’t see it unless I’m wearing a bikinis. I’m actually thinking about getting a tattoo at my lower back..lol
Again, I must emphasis, if you want to climb the ladder of success, you have to sacrifice some of your freedom of expression.
Unless you work in Google, 99.99% of the professional places have a lot of unspoken rule…tattoo is one of them. No one will tell you “We won’t hire you or give you a promotion because of your tattoo”…but believe me, it’s in their mind.
But if you REALLY want to get a tattoo somewhere obvious on your body, there are makeup kit out there that are use specifically to cover up tattoo. (I tried them, they are a pain in the butt to put on and remove…think VERY heavy concealer)

I'm a regular in yoga…and I tried hot yoga for the first time this past weekend: It. Kicked. My. Butt.
The first 60min I was fine…it felt like normal yoga to me but just sweat a bit more…then, I was SHOCKED when the class did not end after 60min…it turns out to be a 90min class!! The last 30min took A LOT out of me…I drank almost 2 bottles of 20L.
I think I like hot yoga…but I didn't like the instructor we had (I went w/ my bf). She was really "boot-camp" style…she didn't play any music, she tell us to change pose after like 2 seconds…it just didn't flow.
Eh…I bought a Groupon for 10 classes and since the first class was free, I'm just going to finish up my 10 classes and find another place for Birkam yoga.
Oh…most importantly…It does help you with flexibility and if you hate cardio like me, hot yoga might be the best way to lose some weight! ^_^
