Congrats!! I follow you on insta and think your brilliant. So happy for you ❤️😊

I also have these I kinda regret buying them as they make me sweat so much and they are difficult to get off again lol very uncomfortable. But they are brilliant grip. No slip at all though so if you wanna slide in and out of a combo of moves they ain’t great for that. I’m not sure why you can not use them on stainless steel maybe they don’t grip as well or something. I’m cutting down on buying expensive pole clothing also as I have far too much and some stuff I just really didn’t need like those leggings.

Tatsiana you may need to strengthen the muscle further, before you train it for more flexibility.

I agree veena is where I first started and I find that I still needed deeper stretches than just the ones which are on the DVDs they did help though… veena has the whole package plus the back mobility routine and warm ups are great 💜 so informative for starting out.

I’m glad you made a decision. It’s probably the right one for you at this time, do not worry what others think. You have done what’s right for you that’s what’s important and taking a break is the best thing you can do, I’m training from home at the moment currently taking a break from my studio and show cases, for personal reasons.
You will come back stronger, maybe a nice break is what you need, spend sometime doing somethings that make you happy and feel good. I hope you feel better soon. 💖

It’s easier said than done.. but is there anything you can do that would take your mind off it for a while just so you could calm down like taking a walk or going to your favourite place.

[Skullpixie]

Please don’t give up you will be so proud of your self once you have done it it will be such a great feeling.

Yes it’s supposed to be fun but it is scary at the same time, that’s what makes it challenging, I find the more I get on stage the more I enjoy it.
I’m still nervous.. but I act out a different persona I’m not me when I’m up there I really try to take on the character. It’s like acting, your a different person for those three mins try to think of it like that really get into the song and theme and take your time with your moves, you will be too busy thinking about your moves and holding them to be nervous adrenaline will kick in and it’s a good feeling. Plus when your doing the moves you don’t have much time to even look at the audience they are a blur. 💖😊

Do the breathing exercises before you go on stage it works so well. I really hope this helps. 💜

[Skullpixie]

You could try using simpler moves they will still look pretty and impressive. Do some breathing exercises like in through the nose 4 seconds out through the mouth 6 seconds this slows the heart rate and helps with anxiety. Plus there’s this thing my sister told me about called legs up the wall you laydown at the base of a wall bum to the wall legs straight up for a little while, hope that makes sense then to come out roll to the side with legs bent like a ball position before you get up cus it can make you a bit dizzy. It calms you down. Or have you ever tried meditation look up some techniques. Just relax, it’s fun not a contest or anything. You will be fine and it’s only 3 mins on a stage it will be over in no time so enjoy it.

Wow that periscope was just what I needed to listen to thanks for that veena and thank god you didn’t quit your an inspiration and fantastic poler, your tutorials are so detailed it makes it easy to learn. I def will take note on being more positive and not get down on my self so much for being slow to progress at pole. I just love pole.

[Skullpixie]

Totally agree with veena practice will help your style whether it be sexy or graceful or both I used to feel awkward doing sexy. Your confidence will grow with practice videoing helps too.. I feel a lot more confident now even though I’m not the best at sexy I won’t give up. 😊😊 key doing what your doing things will get better.

[Skullpixie]

I think for me the only way to get over the fear of any trick is to do it over and over so you become familiar with all aspects of the move, all upside down moves are pretty scary until you know the move inside out, once you do you will feel more comfortable doing that particular trick even if it’s just a basic invert. Hope that makes sense xx

[Skullpixie]

Oh just saw this would be great I’m doing exercises with a Swiss ball at the mo to strengthen my core I wonder will this help with aerial shoulder mount. Sounds great Veena.

That’s meant to say research I hate predictive text lol
