I can completely relate- I have lupus and when I have a flare- I can do nothing!! I remember feeling the same way- but it did get a lot better! Dont give up!! If you cant stick to the pole on a certain day- do floorwork! You can always do something to improve. You can work on elbow stands and planks and plows… sooo much that will translate to the pole. Have you tried Veena's strength routine? You dont need to "stick" much to work on that which will also really help. Amy's blog has a chart of all the grip aides too- finding the right one for you may be a big help also. I knwo I need different combinations of tack on differnt days- all sorts of variables. EVERYONE has those slippery or weak days. I knwo w my lupus I dont have a choice but to give my body a break when I have a flare or it just worsens. ANyway- my point is not too long ago, I had a flare and felt the same but I did what I could and still saw lots of improvement. From my slippy days- I have now gotten my handstand (on the wall). Look for what you CAN instead of whats not working at the moment. 🙂

Do you ever have a way of identifying yourself so fellow veeners can find each other? I would love to meet some of you while I am there!

@Empyrean- I didnt realize that you are w ETED- I see yu here all the time! We did correspond via email when I first inquiried. You were going out of town ( I think somewhere south of the border?) and said you would contact me the following week. I did try to email you back twice! I am so sorry it didnt work out and we couldnt connect for whatever reason.
I am not too worried about "certifiactes" or certs of completion, etc.. I am interested in learning all I can for my own personal knowledge. If it ever works out in the future taht I should teach, that would just be a plus for me.
I am really fascinated by ALL the aspects of pole dancing- including everything business related. It seems so many are willing to jump into a business because they love pole dancing (which is great) But w out any understanding or love for business ownership first!
I am just interested in anything to further grow!

I am so sorry to hear you are struggling! I do have some business experience w start up and selling. I know you need to present cash flow to a potential buyer. That is what they are interested in (traditionally)- Most investors who are purchasing businees are intersted in their ROI. The selling price is usually priced (varies enormously) avereage around 10 times the net profit. (This is for the buinees- not any real estate) (Real estate will obviously depend on market value currectly) You can make real estate more attractive for a buyer if there is a business in place which is netting a profit, tey are looking for cash flow. So, Also depends if you are looking at just the business or businees including real estate. If the business isnt making a profit, you have to consider the option of pricing only for the real estae value alone. It is really hard to sell something that isnt turning a profit- especially in todays market. Unless someone can afford to invest enough cash so that they can be earning a ROI, you will probably find it difficult. It is very hard to decide to let go- especially when you yourself have invested so much of yoruself- time, energy, sweat, tears, money.. Only you know your true situation. I see a lot of people digging a bigger and deeper hole to dig themselves out of by prolonging the inevitable. Remember it is just a business and you need ot protect yourself! You can always start over no matter how hard it does seem now. Try to seperate yourself from the business and look real hard at protecting yourself and yoruu family! No matter what- you are not yoru business and even though taht business may fail, you are not a failure. Do you own the real estate? Is there any possible way if so, before you move out, if you cannot pay the entire mortagage to stay put until it is foreclosed? Is there any way to save any $ from the cash flow so that you can allow yourself time to save and create and exit startegy? Lots of hugs and love sent your way- This can be so enormously painful!!

Tarah- another thing we have in common, lol!
I am taking Angel's course right now. I love it! I am a registered nurse so I am familiar w anatomy. Her course is right on target.
I dont have any plans at this time to teach, but I am a business planner so the entire field interests me! I am also interested in taking other certifiction classes- just to see a different perspective as well.
I originally contacted ETED, but they never got back to me, then I found Discoveries.
I am curious to know of others experience w different certifications and recommendations. You can never learn too much! I know everyone recommends being ACE certified, but I am really only interested in pole (at this time) and Im not teaching currently so Im not worried about that just yet.

I was just curious. I want to buy a pole for my cousin, but I cant afford to get a new x pole so I was looking at used poles for her and I ran across that. I went ahead and bout a lilmynx rotator today from https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/4d853680-e000-41ed-8969-6c0b0ac37250 . I didnt
I didnt get the xtc becasue I wasnt sure of the quality having never heard of it. Everyone always posts so much about the different poles here, I thought maybe someone was familiar with it.
If they arent promoting it as a x pole- and it is just a generic pole, would it be so bad? Just curious. May be an option for someone who couldnt afford a well known brand of pole. If its not a "fake" X pole, would it be acceptable? I guess if they were originally posing as x pole- and its the same seller that would not be a good situation ethically.
When I searched the forums for XTC pole, this thread displayed which then made me weary of it!
I wasnt willing to risk anyway and Im looking forward to the arrival of the black rotator. I wanted a portable pole so we could pole together, so were getting an exta ceiling mount instead!
Her b day is the 22nd and her mom is in end stages of pancreatic cancer. Im hoping the arrival of this pole will serve her as an outlet for this stressful time.

We all want to advance as quickly as possible- but if you trust the rest period ad dont overdo it- you will see much quicker results. You can alternate muscle groups, or work on floor, stretching, etc.. which are all importanat w pole anyway, to give a muscle group a rest. If you train the same muscles everyday, you'll risk injury too. Best is to be aware of what muscles each move uses and not to work those consecutively. I know for me, when I learn a new move Im struggling w- if I give it a break after going through it for a few times, then rest a couple days, when I try again, I can usually get it! If I keep at it, I keep failing! Keep us updated on your progress!

Thanks, I was wondering becasue it looks just like my x pole- just at a farction of the cost. Wondering what the big difference is, if it is quality or just the name! I knew it didnt say "Xpole" – It looks exactly the same- thats what I was wondering about

I recently have been made of aware of the hyperextended joints. If you're not experiencing any trouble, I would consider yourself lucky! You probably already do have some strength which might be protecting you. From my understanding it can lead to "tennis elbow" and can cause some real long term problems and pain for some. My gymnastics teacher just made me aware yesterday that my daughter is hyperextending and was very concerned. He immediately made her correct the position and explained although it was easier, she needed to be aware of the elbow lock and always to soften to prevent injury. Im sure w everything it varies form person to person but better to be safe- especially if you are teaching. I dont think it would be wise to allow someone to do something that could potantially injure themselves. Of course what they do on their own is up to them, but I really appreciated our gym instructor being concerned and offering a solution to prevent an injury. He also explained that it gives people a false sensse of security and strength as the lock is not coming from the muscle. Luckily she os only 8 and he said if she corrects it now, she wont develop that habit and save her joints in the future
