Hi
Thanks for all your input. I used Maggot Brain for the show last night. But I’m also looking at possibily performing at another show hopefully soon if I hear back from them.
Those are all really good songs, I appreciate the help! -
Yes, I’ve taken Bikram yoga and hot vinyasa yoga. I would go more often, but to leave a building that is 105 degrees to go straight to working outside in 5 degrees…. I often lose the ambition to go!
BUT I would love to get there more frequently, any yoga is great for poling. Flexibility, coordination, balance, centering and calming the mind.
If you ever hear any yogi saying they don’t like hot yoga, its often because they believe you should create your own internal heat in your practice. I say if you like the hot yoga, do it, and do it as often as you can for the greatest results. I just met a lady that does it 5 times a week for the last 7 years!
They also say to go 5 times before you decide that you do or don’t like it, and keep the practices within a couple weeks.
Give it more time, I think you will get hooked from the sounds of it, esp once you see the results.
Have fun! -
I posted earlier on this thread, but to answer the question about x pole cutting the pole down….
They don’t do this, or didn’t a year ago when I got mine. I bought 2 extra top pieces since I travel a lot with mine for pole exhibitions. I had my boyfriend cut them down to make the pole at an 8′ overall height, 9′ overall height, and the 10′ overall that it comes standard as.
If a person had the tools (not exactly sure what) you can cut them yourself. I’ve also heard you could bring it to some places, think mechanic or metal shop places, that could cut it for you.I haven’t had anything break on mine, but I do agree that the zippers should be a heavier grade. Also the material for the suitcases has worn through and I plan on getting all the corners reinforced in a purple at some point.
The base can be slick until you get used to it. I buy really cheap black sandpaper-like things that attach to the bottom of my pleaser boots when using the stage. My pleaser shoes, though, are grippy enough for it. I don’t have any problems being barefoot on it with slipping.

1) About 10 minutes up and down once you’ve done it a few times.
2) I have a 50mm and 45mm poles along with the stage. I like beging able to do all trix on both sizes of poles
3) There is still room for floor work, more then if you were to have a square stage. And you can "play with" getting on and off the stage too.
I say go for it, then you can bring it anywhere, including outside in the summer. I love my stage. -
Great! Thanks for all the responses. I’ll let him know the verdict and get you some pics once he gets one!

omg, thats too weird. I was working on moves that didn’t require leg grip last nite, cuz I had thigh high sox on, I couldn’t get a shoulder mount either!!! I was just talking about that this morning. I am blaming it on the fact that I was snow plowing all all night and my body was fatigued…. But now hearing that moves are disappearing all over, I’m a little concerned https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

If you can afford to have both, I definately would. I have a 50mm X Chrome, 45mm X Chrome, and 2" PS. I do’t minding having all different ones so I can decide which to put in my studio, when I open one. Also, when I teach lessons I have them try out the dif material and sizes to see which they prefer, esp if they are looking to buy one. When I am learning a new move, I try to start by working on the stainless PS, the slippery-er grip and bigger poles means more then likely nailing that move there will make any other pole seem easier.

My lesson for today cancled, so I had some poling time to myself! I remember seeing this one yesterday and thought I’d give it a try. The first 4-5 times of getting my hand in the right place and releasing the other hand/leg, I couldn’t get my foot to "let go" of the pole. But once you realize your grip is strong enough and the pressure of your body on the pole will hold you there, its not bad at all. My upper thigh is a little tender now, not sure of other moves I’ve done that have put that pressure there before.
Plz ignore the ungraceful dismount, I’ll work on that someother day…Not sure if this the right way to post a link-

Or do you recommend another site…)

I think a lot of people have cats for pets, but this is my thought on why you see them so frequently in poling videos.
I teach pole and yoga in my home where I have 3 cats. I have noticed a lot of things with this… The one cat who used to be scared of everyone unfamiliar will come shooting thru the curtains hanging in the doorway to wind around the pole and peoples feet. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif
I decided that the cats like the energy in the room when its being used as creative and fun space. Just like how dogs can sense when your upset, I’m sure that my cats are feeling the love and good energy with the yoga and pole going on in there. Thats my take on it. -
Wow, you guys have so many fantastic ideas! Some of things we do already, but as you point them out to me, I should be having them to more of them to build up the strength. I oftentimes forget that they look to me as their teacher and the expert and worry that they’ll get bored. But when given a reason to do the things we do, they will believe in me and eventually it will make sense.
I *hope* to see them next week, the younger got into a car accident and I don’t know if she’ll be unsore by next week.
Again thanks for all your advice! I’ll let you know how it goes. -
I think I’m on my 4th vote from multiple computers through the last couple days. Just voted, and now I have to type in an encypted code (correct terminalogy?) and once the vote is casted, it doesn’t say which place Chelcie is in. Thats different then it was before for me.

The spin combos are a great idea, Charley. I think there might only be certain ones she can do, if there’s a part that only requires just the arms, I don’t think it will work just yet. But like Firefly to Sundial, and firefly to standing fireman… (my terms may be different), would be a good strength builder and something they are familiar with.
We just got to the pole sit, they are learning to deal with the pain on the skin at this point, but I’m glad its something they can both do. And fan kicks they both enjoy doing- good idea!
Ah, floor work, yes. Doing more of that is an excellent idea, I always find myself rushing through those moves to get on the pole, but there is so much potential for a work out on the ground too. Thanks for pointing that out.
