Ok hun. Well be sure to let me know or if you want to organise something privately, just message me or something https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Where are you based hun? I might be interested in buying if you’re still selling. Did you say the £100 would include delivery? If you’re near enough to me, I could pick it up?
Have been thinking about trying the 45mm one for a while as I have a 50mm one at the moment. Now would the husband despair if I bought another https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

Jamilla does a box set with moves on it and she’s just brought out a new DVD with routines on as well. Everybody I’ve spoken to who has seen the box set says it’s brill – you can buy the DVDs separately too.

Have asked for the Jamilla DVDs from Santa so fingers crossed he has got the hint https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Problem is I’ve asked for a video camera as well so might not get both https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

You know loopielou, I haven’t even thought about getting a stage… Hmm perhaps I’ll look into it! Thanks!
I’d love an xstage or something similar because you can take it wherever you want then can’t you? Good luck making your decision anyway https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

One of my pole tutors got pregnant and she stopped inverting as soon as she found out. Veena is the lady to ask tho https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

What about an xstage?

it took me ages to wrap my head round the extended butterfly, but what everybody is saying above sounds right to me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif The hand positions should be the same for both butterfly and extended and I find that having your body away from the pole, rather than up against it as it sometimes is when you start learning, really helps.
If I remember rightly, I was trying so hard to straighten my leg that I couldn’t get it and then somebody just said, instead of concentrating on your legs, just let your bum drop back and that worked for me. I unhook from behind the knee, but still have the bottom of my leg running up the pole and then drop my bum down abit and the leg follows and straightens.
It’s a really hard thing to explain when you aren’t in front of somebody and explaining it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
Am sure you’ll get it soon enough – one day it’ll just click. Good luck https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I stopped a week and a half ago without anything. I have had a few days now where I’ve wanted to rip somebody’s head off, but I am determined to do it this time. My husband is on the Champix (Chantix) and he was the same as you punkrocgirlie in that he didn’t consciously feel that his cravings were reducing, but I noticed he wasn’t smoking as much – now I don’t know if that was just through willpower or not, but he also stopped a week and a half ago and seems to be doing ok as well. I think you still need the willpower even with the Chantix unfortunately https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif. I found when I took it last time to try and stop that it made me feel ill if I smoked whilst taking it, but the side effects were worse than the benefit of stopping smoking for me which is why I am going down the willpower route this time.
Never stop giving up that’s what I say. Even if it doesn’t work this time, it might work next time – and all the money I save could buy me a new 45mm Xpole!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I’m not sure how to do the chat thing tbh https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif unless it’s just that it doesn’t work on my computer at work https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif
I’m usually on and off most of fthe day – bobbing in and out.

Hiya – I’m from West Yorkshire, near Leeds. Welcome https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I’ve been poling about a year now – am in abit of a rut with it myself, but perseverance is the way forward methinks – seems to have worked in the past anyway.
Hopefully I’ll have a video camera soon (have asked Santa for one https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif) so once I do, then people can help me on here with the things I am having problems with.

I’ve been after this DVD but can’t seem to find it here in the UK. Other thing that worried me was the fact they do everything on the 38mm pole so would that make a difference when you try doing it on the 50mm?
Let us know how it goes as you use it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Really good description Charley.
I seem to be able to do this sometimes and then others not, but I find having the strength in my stomach and lower back is of prime importance as I seem to need that to get my legs completely up – so more often than not, it depends whether my muscles can be bothered as to whether I can get up there! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
I think this is one of those moves that can quite easily leave you unless you keep practising https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I have officially joined the stop smoking revolution. Not had a cigarette now since the weekend (not long, but a start!) and my husband has stopped on the Champix too (I’m trying cold turkey this time!). Fingers crossed we can stay stopped – and not kill each other in the meantime lol Looks like I’ll have to get some more poling in to keep my occupied. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif

I’ve asked Santa for this so hopefully he will be nice to me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
