I have been trying to find information on this all night so I got excited when I saw the post….unfortunatley no else has replied yet. I would also appreciate info if anyone has it!

 I started with the pocket pole app and still love it. SV however, breaks it down. Basically I watch the pocket pole app and then try to see if I can find it on SV. I've tried learning just by watching the app but I find SV makes it "click" that much more but I second Theo. It has tons of great video and pictures. Its organized very well too which I love.

Veena, I would also love some spinny pole tutorials. I am moving along through a lot of your lessons, but when i try to do it on spinny it just doesnt work!! SPINNY PLEASE

I really love the SV forum. Everyone is always so supportive and this thread is a great example. Good luck achieving all your desires PDR!

Here is a great quote that I tell all my students, and even believe myself.

I have tried the diva cup and I love it in theory! When I tried it it was really messy and I had the same problem as a lot of you- it went up so high I could hardly get it out. I was so freaked out after that I’ve been too scared to use it again!!

UPDATE

The mat idea was brilliant. I never used them for spins before because I thought it was kind of pointless, but I am using them for almost all my classes now and for some reason the girls feel safer and will get their moves much quicker with the mat under, even if they never use it!! Thanks so much!!

Great advice lopsi!
Feel for you though. I have had similar situations with my brother repeatedly but after being mad for so long about what he did to our family I decided there’s nothing I can do and holding on to resentment didn’t benefit me at all. It took me a long time to get here and some days are really difficult but I just accept he is who he is. You can’t change people.

Thanks ladies, love the support. She was Trying to do the fireman at first and I did try the extended fireman with her as well as a few others…hoping that she would like one Or one would be easier than the other. I know it is not a matter of her being strong enough as she can do pole holds. She said it was just a mental thing where she doesn’t trust her arms to hold her. Maybe I will just start doing sits with her first and do some conditioning with her so she “feels” like she’s strong enough to do it even though she is now. I’ll try the mat idea too, it may work.
Thanks again ladies!

Thanks ladies! I think I am going to buy a pair of foot undies to try as well but I did go buy some five fingers And I love them so far!! We’ll see how class Monday goes. I’ll keep you updated!!

[Sinnamon]

Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for. Not very pretty but good for teaching I hope

[Sinnamon]

Thanks! Has anyone tried those plasticy slipper like shoes… They have toes. I hope you know what I mean by that
