    Closer-kings of Leon. But I also want to ‘drip’ off the pole whilst doing it so it might be a long time away :-/

    I have been to a few different studios and I have stuck at one, the one I started at, because my instructor is FUN. I have been going for over 1 year and she is still super excited for every thing I achieve. She is a dancer and personal trainer and whilst she isn’t super advanced on the pole she can teach me other things like dance, choreo, stretches and fitness. I look for advanced tuition from another instructor and here on studio veena.
    I stay and will probably always stay at this studio because it is fun and convenient and I always enjoy my lesson 🙂

    Welcome to the world of pole! My first suggestion is buy veenas lessons, do the conditioning work as much as you can do allowing your body to rest, start stretching now using veenas lessons, my last suggestion take videos of your progress, even though you feel like you suck now in only 6 weeks you will see a huge difference if you keep working on it all weekly.
    Pole is an addictive and an amazing journey, it’s going to take you places you never expected 🙂 enjoy the ride!

    I have no idea! It just came on (I get cramp at least once a month in my calf/toes randomly!) I assume it was induced by pointing my toes too much?! Odd!

    Thanks for that advice but I was very warm although not very stretched. The cramp was in my calf :-/

    I wouldn’t mention the profile you’re concerned about though because if it is dodgy she might tell them opening up a whole new world of manipulation

    Follow your gut, send a message, it won’t hurt anyone but it might help someone

    January 2, 2013 at 3:10 pm in reply to: CKR/CAR @ first pole class ever!

    I agree, I know loads of polers who have no idea about proper progression. To be fair I only found out through this site, not my studio(s), so I tell everyone about this site and always stop someone from doing something they are clearly NOT ready for, regardless of an instructor being there or not! Like someone said, a lady broke her neck doing a CAR I was tought this pretty early into poling, along with inverting by kicking. Luckily I found this site and took a few steps backwards to learn proper technique. But had I not found this site I wouldn’t have known not having done much exercise apart from swimming before. Keep it safe ladies x
