I just got implants a month ago, and this week I began working out again. I feel totally normal, but I haven't been cleared to pole or do aerials (anything else "rigorous" or that uses chest muscles) for another 2 weeks. So at 6 weeks post-op, you will be back on the pole. But at that point, you'll be easing yourself back into pole, not jumping back to where you were pre-op.
Also, if you're worried about loosing strength & flexibility during your month-month & a half off, don't! I was super scared to loose flexibility I gained from doing Alethea's Pure Splits. But on Monday I began the Pure Splits DVD again and I was suprised to see that I haven't lost ANY flexibility except in my calves! I was stiff, sure, but I was able to work into the stretches I was doing before.
Good luck!

Here they use that hoop at 1:25. It doesn't have the pole in the center, though

Is this it?

If so, the girl in that top pic is my aerial instructor, she calls it a "revolving hoop."

Platinum Stages is prob. your best bet, they will do 20' poles, but only in 50mm stainless steel. You can't buy their spinning poles past 14', I believe, but you can still buy the Spinning Kit seperately ($159) and install that yourself. They said this will work just as safely and securely as their normal spinning poles, they just don't make the spinning poles that size.
And they will also have you buy conduit from a local home improvement store and put that inside your pole to reduce flex/improve stability.

i rent the X-Stage Lite (and other poles) I am in Minnesota. Where are you located?
Here is my site with more deets. 🙂

Vivid Footwear has this special sole that can prevent this! Vivid are the only shoes I will wear, because of this. And they are ridiculously comfortable. The soles are extra padded and have a little bump at the top, where your toes are, that gives your toes extra padding/comfort and keeps them from sliding out the front.
Here are some Vivid shoes:

(Whenever it says "Comes complete with our signature foot bed technology," that is a good sign!)

Wow, your studio must be very good if they feel so threatened that they have to spread rumors about it just to stay in business!

At first, I would put one hand on the pole and use it to push myself back into a sitting position because I felt like if I used my abs to bring myself up, that I would loose the pressure of my legs holding me on the pole and fall. So maybe try that? Use one hand to grab the pole behind your back and push yourself up and grab the top of the pole (above your body) with your other hand to push/pull back up. And eventually, you’ll be able to do it without any hands. Hope that made sense. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I could be wrong, but I think it depends on where you live. In the US, the joists are further apart, so the pole has to be mounted directly beneath a joist. But in Europe, the joists are closer together, so the pole should be mounted inbetween two joists, like your green circle shows.
And your red lines are correct, those look like the joist lines on your ceiling that you traced w/ the red line.

I bought curlers at Sally Beauty that will give this type of curl called CurlFormers. The only bad thing is that they take a while longer than I am used to to get a curl and are really meant to be left in over night.
I also know that think hair is not the ideal hair for this look. When I curl my hair it gets REALLY poofy because there is so much of it.
Check out some of the you tube videos on the curlformers.
Cool, thank you! I’ll check it out!

Awesome! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Mine is a hair question.. How do you make these kind of curls?

I have really long & thick hair, so if it’s a certain cut that works better for these curls, then that’s doable. But when i curl my hair, it always looks bad. (Even if I wrap the hair around the barrel to curl it, like as if I was using one of those clipless curling irons)

Just want to clarify- you should always be rolling the knees in and engaging all the way through both legs whether you’ve got one foot pointed or two!!
(Good point! I always seem to forget this..)

My town just got an Ulta actually! Thanks for the info. I’ll have to pop in there next time I’m in the area.
NP! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Just be careful about prices.. they literally hide the prices from you, it’s always a surprise when you go to check out your items. I once accidentally paid $20 for a little thing of eyeshadow..

I use this really nice eyebrow kit from ULTA (you can also try Sephora if you don’t have any ULTA stores):
I love it because it comes with a bunch of different stencils, (which I wouldn’t rely on 100%) but they are great to help you find your preferred shape and then they help you maintain that shape.
So I just shade them in and then use that as a guide to pluck/wax. Mine still aren’t exactly how I want them, but they are on their way!
