Thank you. Yes, I struggle with getting more vertical to the pole. In fact earlier in class tonight I asked someone to see why I’m not, either I’m scared to relax and let my body get more vertical or lack of flexibility. I was able to relax and let body lower some, but not a lot more. We were also trying to figure out what could prevent me sliding my tail bone over hands and hurting so much. I accidentally placed hands differently and didn’t hurt. A friend was watching me and noticed I placed my hands closer to my butt, thus tailbone was already over them when I began to slide down. So I think that is what you are talking about. I will practice again tomorrow and work on your tips. THANK YOU!

Elbow grip ayeshsa! Have gotten into once or twice over the years, but no go on consistent basis. Can’t get the balance or lean out enough for that angle. I am okay that I don’t have it, just feel that with other things I do, it should be doable

Others have given you great tips. I just want to add from my experience the pain does get better and go away once you get it. I was in HORRIBLE HORRIBLE pain when learning it, I mean HORRIBLE lol I would work on it, then take a break for a while, then start again, etc. My husband laughs when I get into it different ways now and has said “you do it like nothing now compared to long time ago” So hang in there. And as mentioned, once this is accomplished and no more pain, the next move comes along and pain issue can start all over for THAT trick. A cylce, that in my opinion, is worth it. Hang in there and enjoy the journey 🙂

Yup, Friday chat is a great way to meet up with veneers. I’m still trying to get in the habit of popping in, sometimes by the time I do, it’s quiet. The video chat is awesome on sv also.
This is a great place and pole community! -
BTW, sorry about your family problems.

Is it still available? Xpert, that is static/spin, right?

YAY, she is soo excited. Glad it worked out for both of you.

I’m assuming you live in Redwood City, CA? May I ask which studio you have found? I’m familiar with couple studios in bay area and wondering if it’s one of them.

WebJunk, THANK YOU!!!! I tried and tried before and never thought of dragging it to the timeline. I thought it should be added on another line like transitions and effects are. I did a little test and seemed to work. I always used the Text feature to add credits/message at the end. Now I love AVS4you even more 🙂

This is definitely my problem. I just told my husband today I’m sure my hip flexor problem is due to my sitting allllll day at work. I’d love to see the exercise tips also. 🙂

I also use windows movie maker, works great for my needs. I also bought AVS4you video editor. When that is purchased, you can also download video converter to change formats if needed. Also audio editor which I like because sometimes I like to make a song longer or edit a section of the song. There is trial version of avs4you that will have the software name logo on it.
my last two vids were with avsr. Avs doesn’t have feature to add title page thst I can find, so used movie maker to add one on the last video posted.

Currently 58 yrs old, started at age 50, so it’s been 8 yrs now. I could be farther along, however, did not have a studio to go to for quite a long time. So did the you tube thing, veena’s lessons which really helped me progress, and various workshops here and there. I also tend to pole on the fear side, especially without a spotter, but it’s okay, I have accomplished a lot and love the strength and stamina I get from pole, as well as the toned muscles!
I have a studio to go to now since October 2013 and love the consistency, excellent instructor and gals to have fun and encourage each other.

Any word if the gal I know is interested in buying the pole? Is it still available?
