We learn on 50s at my studio but I struggled with hand grip as I’m only little so I bought a 45 for home. Now I’m better at pole I don’t struggle as much on the 50 but for new moves I find it easier to learn on the 45 then transfer to the 50. ESP superman!!

Only polers could get excited about magnetic levels!! 🙂

Cherished that is a great vid, thanks for posting. This is what I need to do, strip it down and take it right back. I thought because my EB is solid I would be ok but it’s the balance thing that I’m struggling with so I’m defo going to practice it this way. 🙂

I don’t like the elbow grip so am trying it split grip from extended butterfly. I can take my legs off but flip to the side almost instantly.. I guess that’s just finding and maintaining your centre though? Stupid move!!

Also ext butterfly, to flatline Scorpio to bow and arrow…
-
I like fan kick into pole sit and from there a CKR/CAR to bridge. Also Scorpio to fallen angel to Scorpio is easy but pretty 🙂

What level are you looking for Sasha?

Trixie kicks, that is so true! I did the same a d was inverting with no momentum within 2 months!

I would defo recommend going to a studio to try it out before you spend £150 on a pole. Pole is an exciting and addictive but frustrating journey and personally I think I would have given up if I had been working at it from home alone. Even with the support of SV!
Good luck with you journey, don’t get too hung up on progressing quickly, take your time and learn to do things correctly and safely the first time and you will progress faster in the long run.
If I had the net I would totally get SV lessons. She is an excellent tutor.
You will be sore and bruised but there is nothing better than nailing a move and as we say no pain no gain 🙂 -
Ok I totally get that you need to know HOW to engage because that is what I didn’t get either!!! So my physio taught me. Lie on your back, knees bent. With shoulders, hips and feet all in one line as thought two tracks. Then find your pelvis bone with your fingers at each side. Move your fingers off your hip bone towards your belly by a cm and that is the lower stomach muscle which you need to engage. Try to ‘engage’ and you will either feel it tense or not, if it tenses that is engaged if it doesn’t adjust until you feel it tense. For some people it tilts pelvis forward (arched back like me) for others it means it tilts back. Does that make sense??? Any exercise I do now, I do that first to make sure I am engaged. My inverts have improved dramatically and I got my SM as a direct result of learning how to engage properly.
I hope that makes sense and helps you x -
Take the job!!!!! That’s an awesome offer and if the studio you learn at don’t like it then tough, they weren’t behind you all the way anyway. Got to look after number 1!
