Ok i looked at a couple sites.. i know you can look yourself, but thought i’d post a couple links here since i did it anyway.
Here’s a quote from one of the articles:"We believe that the substantial elevation of intraocular pressure during gravity inversion may pose potential risks to the eyes, and we recommend that inversion for extended periods of time be avoided."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3579708http://www.ehow.com/facts_5021764_negative-effects-inversion-therapy.html
http://www.articlesbase.com/diseases-and-conditions-articles/back-inversion-table-1200358.html
From what i gathered in a few minutes, seems that a minority of people’s eyes are affected during inversion (one article said this is true for those who have glaucuma of the eyes)- i don’t know how accurate this is or how much it applies to you, since the only condition/effect i saw mentioned was "a detachment of the retina from the optical nerve", which doesn’t sound like that’s your case, but i’m no ophthalmologist, so idk.
PLEASE dont invert & look into this more & let us know what you find out!! -
i agree with everyone else about putting your inverts on pause & going to your doctor! i’m so sorry that’s happening to you, i can’t imagine how frustrating it must be. And you know, after reading your post, i vaguely remember reading somewhere (unrelated to pole) that being inverted for long periods of time can have some detrimental effects on the optical nerve.. but i don’t remember the details, as i thought it didn’t apply to me or poling, so i didn’t pay much attention to it. I’ll try to google it or something & see if i find anything, but you should DEFINITELY go get it checked out! good luck https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I can only do the spinning part of this, up to changing the hand grip for SM, but can’t lift myself up into it yet. To change the grip, i just bring my bottom hand up mid-spin, and slightly adjust my top arm to where it’s comfortable in order for my back to be against the pole. Sorry i know that didn’t help much, i hope someone else who can actually do the whole move can help you out! I’d love to hear some tips on this as well!

OMG you guys are so sweet! i almost teared up when i saw this ( i know i’m such a baby https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif )! You’ve ALL been an inspiration to me too, regardless of levels. There’s no way i would’ve accomplished this much if it wasn’t for this site, Veena, & all the amazing members here. I love you guys so much! What a wonderful way to start my day.. thanks so much! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

And speaking of cats and poles…I think Tigiee (Azriel)–just put up a video with her cats playing around the pole just a few hours ago! It’s an adorable video…her cats have really unusual coloration and get along really well.
Haha yeah i did upload a cat video- although the pole isn’t included too much… but i’m planning to make another one soon of them trying to play with me & bothering me while i’m poling! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif

I wonder if we can have more then 19….
Sissy would it be too much to ask of you to ask the studio about this? if it’s ok with them.. i’m sure we’re not all going to be ON a pole the whole time we’re there.. maybe a couple more wouldn’t be so bad? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

I believe that with kilala’s friend, that makes it 18. So one more slot is open! Castleoutsier: when will you know for sure if you can come? there are another 2 girls (jimella) who mentioned an interest in coming, but i couldn’t tell from their post if they were certain. And since there’s only one spot left, i don’t know if only one of them would still want to come without the other.
Castleoutsider let us know for sure as soon as you can! -
Hi All,
My instructor, Irize, and I would like to come. We live in Philly, PA and just need more information like cost and directions. I’m new to the world of Pole fitness and look forward to meeting other Polers how enjoy every new trick and accomplishment. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gifHi jimella- the girls have posted links to the studio’s website – if you look through the thread you’ll find all the info you need. The cost to attend the jam is about 35$.. just let us know asap if you’re certain that you’re coming, as the spots are limited!
