i was at the doc for my cyst issue (theres a post on that in the health forum) and she strongly advised me not to use a regular razor on the backside area-i guess it would be the same for the genital area. she said the razor will put tiny nicks in your skin which for me makes me vulnerable to skin infections. so she recommended using a mens type shaver (like the rotating 3 blade thing) for any backside hair removal…just something to keep in mind if u have skin problems like me

hey tarah i might have some insight but i hope this isn’t what you’re dealing with…. have you actually looked or felt around back there? you can get a cyst back there easily if you are prone to skin issues, i was just dealing with this recently. i had a cyst before, and hitting it or even stressing the area can cause flare ups…and at first the flare ups feel like you bruised or hurt your tailbone. i’d take a good look or feel and make sure your skin is all okay, no lumps or red spots, because that could be the issue. i only speak from experience and like i said i really hope this isnt what you have bc you would probably have to go to the doc or er to get the cyst lanced. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif

i don’t think there is a defense for it. fedex knows christmas comes EVERY YEAR. they should be prepared to handle the influx. i hope you get your pole soon

amy- i’m not sure! this is one i’m still working on, so i was wondering about form. are you saying you could (should be able to?) swing your left leg off the pole while in a ckr? then, how would your legs stay crossed? like i said i wasn’t trying to criticize just gain insight https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif

i have a question about how you are doing that, im not trying to criticize, i just have never taken an actual class so i was wondering how you were taught this…. it looks like you are only holding the weight with the bent knee and hand, your left leg looks too far away from the pole to aid in grip? when i do it its more like just crossing my legs and leaning back, and both legs are gripping ive never tried to use the hand. so i guess im just wondering if your left leg is gripping or if you are only holding on with the bent knee? and does it hurt a lot?

[polebunny]

glad you worked it out. if you need help or want more info i’d try searching the forum for this particular topic as i know alot of people have had the same issue. i personally hope nothing ever happens to my old style xpole as these ones sound very complicated!

[polebunny]

the new stuff looks great!

[polebunny]

hehe i know how you feel empy, i love makeup! my stash is in major need of an overhaul and i’m hoping to afford that soon

[polebunny]

is this in the lessons? if not can you link me to a pic or vid? thanks

[polebunny]

i don’t like the idea because even if someone is a pole teacher, doesn’t mean they have any kind of certification. i understand why you like the idea, but i like studioveena because we are all equals. also, don’t feel like you can’t post something because it doesn’t have its own category. surely "everything else pole related" covers any question we could have, and i don’t THINK i’ve seen veena lash out for posting in the wrong category https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif , lolz. even so, this is just my opinion. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif

[polebunny]

do you have a video? lol i mean you got that term from somewhere….
to me it sounds like you are describing the kind of climbing i usually see leigh ann doing. i’d search for leigh ann orsi in youtube and see if that’s what ur talking about

[polebunny]

yes it is called "pretzel spin practice uncut…thanks pole junkies!" here is what i hope is a link:

i also would not take lessons if shoes were not allowed. not that i wear them all the time, but it should be my choice. now, i have been dancing for a while. if it was an issue of being new and not wanting the beginners to wear heels till later that is different, but i think you just mean for the floors.
