I don’t mean caterpillar Organic I mean the triangle move first which enables you to get your balance (sorry I wasn’t clear). That’s how I was taught to Ayesha. That will stop you from going into it super quick like you do in the video 🙂

Yey good for you xx

Have you tried going right back to basics with this move? As in doing all the prep moves first. So caterpillar, triangle then bring legs into Ayesha? I know you have been poling for a long time so if you have always had trouble with the Ayesha you have got into a pattern of a troubled Ayesha so your muscle memory will be working it that way. If you stopped going into it as though its a move you can do and take it right back to basics it might retrain your muscles the right way rather than the way they are now which means you’re not getting it.
Does that make sense?
I haven’t been poling anywhere near as long and I am not a teacher but taking it back to basics works for me. I just treat the move like it is new and eventually it comes good 🙂 -

DO IT!!! As webmaster said, we are here on this earth for 80 years and once they are gone they are gone. You are an intelligent woman Olivia and will not struggle to find a job once you decide what you want to do. Life is far too short not to try.
I can relate to hating a job. When I graduated uni I took a job at the local library, I love books and the girls there were such a great laugh I thought it would be a breeze until I found the job I was looking for (something psychology related as thats what I did my degree in), anyway, the job was cushy, paid well and the staff were all ace to work with but every Monday morning I cried before I went to work, because it was depressing and ate away at my soul.
I lasted 6 months then ended up taking a job working with homeless young people for less money but more in the line of what I wanted to do. For 2 years I worked 3 part time jobs to make a full time wage, then applied for the job I have now, when I started this job as a street sex worker support worker it depressed me and I often thought 'what have I done?', now I love it and would not leave through choice.
Sometimes you have got to try things you didnt think you would do or be good at to realise your strengths. I didnt think I could work with young people when I left uni, I did it and loved it and was good at it, when I started this job, I didnt think I could work with adults, now I enjoy it and think I am good at it. When an opportunity comes up say yes first and think about it later, thats how my career has worked so far. Who knows where it might lead 🙂
My friend has just left her very reasonably paid job in the NHS because she was miserable, she has set up her own business. Sometimes you've just got to jump 🙂
Dont be miserable, try doing something for you that will make you happy, Good luck x

Yeah Debs, all booked in the diaries 🙂

Yes there may well be negative comments BUT ‘for every negative there is a positive’ if you don’t get on the pole in lingerie and don’t gyrate around it then I really don’t see what could be said about pole apart from WOW! 🙂

Do it! Show the world the truth about pole 🙂

Ktjane I followed the link and it says the item has been removed. Is this still for sale? If so where do you live?

I haven’t personally experienced negativity towards me in pole, but i have observed it twice, in the same class by the instructor. We had a guest instructor in a mixed beginner/intermediate. She told my pole buddy that the reason she couldn’t get a particular move was because her ‘bow legs’ were preventing her from gripping! I was in shock at what she said so I didn’t challenge it, I often think about it and wish I had! Needless to say my friend does not have bow legs and was very annoyed.
The same instructor told 2 other girls who were new starters (8 weeks in to pole) that she couldn’t understand why they would let someone who has only been doing pole for 8 weeks into her class. She did not teach them a step back in level she ignored them for the rest of the session. One of the girls disappeared to the loo upset. That’s where she told me what the instructor had said. I was furious!! I told both girls to ignore her shitty attitude, that it was the instructors responsibility to teach according to level of learner. None of us were advanced students!
I understand jealousy from other learners, that’s not to say I accept it but from an instructor that attitude is appalling. -
Keep recording and keep posting – its like flooding therapy 🙂

I thought the same about MMA until I got into it and watched it for a couple of shows, now I appreciate the skill and technique in the same way I appreciate it in pole. But if you don't know how difficult it is to do mixed martial arts (I tried jui jitsu for a few weeks) and fight for that length of time then you do just see it as violence and machismo.
My fella is one of the least aggresive men I know and has never even had a fight with anyone ouside of the MMA ring.
I am a pretty open minded person, so unless my fella decided to go Dexter on me I think I would be ok with anything…
As for the pole thing, I dont think the stripper thing is a valid excuse for partners because if you see anyone do pole, unless they are overtly sexy in their manner you can see quite clearly that it is not stripping and is not remotely sexy when you are learning. Bruises, swetaing and gallumping up a pole is not what I would call sexy lol…
I just think that basically anyone who wants to pull you away from your passion doesnt have a passion so doesnt understand how important it is to you. If they aren't willing to get on board to at least try to be involved / understand why you are so passionate etc then I wouldnt waste my time with them personally. But I am very black and white in my tolerance of others…
