yes i have my extended butterfly, is there a way to get into it from there? hard to find the aysha threads, thats why i suggested a forum topic search the other day https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif
The split grip aysha is my strongest aysha as its the first one I learned. Then I learned twisted grip aysha then elbow grip and this week I just got my forearm aysha. So from the extended butterfly , lower both legs down into a V. Keep the same push pull split grip in place and make sure your hips are out and away from the pole. The body must be facing the pole dead centered but away from the pole with both arms straight doing the push pull action. To get out, you can clamp your legs on the pole like in a basic invert leg position. Or I then lift my legs up to one side of the pole into a straight edge split grip from my ayasha and lower my legs to the floor as slow as i can. Practice it all with crash mat and/or spotter. HOPE THAT HELPS. -
Just got my 1.75 star stand alone 2 days ago! It does wobble, but I feel secure on it. It’s very easy to set-up and take down ~ Tightening the "collar" takes the longest. It does come unscrewed a little when spinning lefty. Overall I think it’s a "good" portable pole.
Flexx10, I do not use the collar at all. I find it very time consuming and ugly looking. Its only fuction is to prevent the platform base from lifting if you step on it from the edges. But the platform will still move slightly from side to side and make a slight noise. But if you apply a strip of industrial strength velcro you wont need the collar and it prevents the base from moving and lifting. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -
We call the first move the archer with hands. Its called the full archer if you let go of the bottom hand. The second move we call the stag jade. Its a full jade when both legs are split straight. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif

It’s funny, but I concentrate alot on normally squaring my hips and contracting my leg muscles at the same time. But I was trying to face the camera to my left and forgot to square my hips. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif My shoulders and hips are normally evenly facing forward. I do have a slight bend still to my back legs that I am aware of. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif Considering where I was a year ago, I am thrilled to be at this point. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif I remember when I first started training for my splits and told my husband my goal, he laughed at me and said "You got to be kidding. Your like a tripod" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif

I’m going to be in the Toronto/Burlington area September 26th to October 3rd. Wondering if there are any pole jams going on at this time?
Hey Jeng. The next Ontario Pole Jam is Sept 26, sunday 3-6 at SASS studio at Stoney Creek closer to burlington. I will be posting more info by the end of the week. -
I have both the X Stage and the Star stand alone. I LOVE THEM BOTH for different reasons. X STAGE is more steady but it is also almost double the price for us canadians when taxes, duties and brokerage fees in total. But it only comes in chrome and only 10 feet poling space. I love the star stand alone because the pole material is interchangeable. I have 1.75 stainless steel and 2 inch brass both with 2 feet extentions to give 8-12 feet poling space. I love that the dance floor is large but low to the ground so I can roll into the floorwork easily.The star stand alone platform base did move alot but I solved that problem by adding a thin industrial strength velcro between the base and dance platform. Now it doesn’t move or make any noise when you dance on it. Also the pole wobbles a bit but not noticable by me when I do my advance move on it. But to make the whole base extra secure for anyone poling on it weighing more than 250 lbs, I added weight bars of 10 lbs each times 8 inside the legs. You can purchase steel rods at home depot for nominal fee and have them cut it for a dollar each cut to the length of the legs. Hope that helps. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif

Ah, I’m so annoyed I missed this! I was on my way when I hit a WALL of traffic in Burlington. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif I got stuck just past the 407/ Niagara Falls exit. I creeped along for forty minutes until I finally squeezed out at Guelph Line! All I could see to the horizon were tail lights. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif By the time I got turned around, it was backed up past Waterdown. STUPID traffic! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif Still, shouldn’t be a problem for Sept., though (fingers crossed)!
I’m so sorry you missed it Poleophile. It’s not the same without you. Next jam is changed to sept 26 at SASS studio at stoney creek. -

Yes, Dara’s DVD is very clear and labels all the muscles and movements very well. Totally different animal than Bob’s DVD. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Thanks Ottersocks, I’m off to order her dvd. Its quite resonable too at $19.00 and $7.00 shipping to canada. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -
Okay. Maybe im not getting something but Charley said the reverse shoulder mount is the best to get into the death lay. And It doesnt make sense to me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif
Or did she mean that you get into the death lay from a shouldermount and then to get out of it to a reverse shouldermount?
I think Empyrean meant to say to get into death lay from shouldermount, which is the most common and easiest way I was told to get into it. Then get out of it from a shouldermount dismount/reverse shouldermount. -
Thanks Ottersocks,I’m going to reread Bob’s book and highlight the exercises you suggest. I just couldn’t get into his dvd.Just like I couldn’t get into elastic steel splits and flexibility dvd. How is Dara’s dvd https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif Easier to get into than Bobs https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif
