Hey, am actually home suffering with the cold, but wouldn’t mind trying this tonight. Is it at 7pm UK time? As in the next hour and fifteen minutes or so?

Great stretching. Can’t make it tonight 🙁

Am out. My school is going to be inspected by Ofsted. Mad panic. 🙁

I’ve had two big falls, which shook me up big time. The first one I managed to flip and land on knees and feet (was in a crescent moon so if I didn’t flip would’ve landed on head and neck). My knees and toes were badly damaged and incredibly swollen, but I got back on after 15 minutes as I didn’t want the fear to build up. I didn’t realise that I had broken a big toe until later. Although I got on straight away, am scared of doing anything involving a cross ankle release (this depresses me as I learnt and love this move so quickly). I fell in April and still had to be coaxed to do CARs in July. I think I got on too soon though as that fall not only gave me new injuries but it aggravated old ones including my back. I had to take a few weeks off pole 🙁
Anyway, my second and worse fall was when I attempted Aysha for the first time with a spotter. Long story short, landed on head, face planted and twisted neck and back. Spent the rest of the day in A & E. I still have a lump on my head and loads of pain. This happened the first Saturday in August. I cannot watch friends get into Aysha. It stops my heart and I panic. I did have a mini session a week afterwards (again trying to keep fear building up). Nervously attempted some basic inverts, and a few spins, but was way too scared to try much more. I called it quits after a few minutes (didn’t want to make injuries worse and because I was scared shitless). At least I touched and stroked the pole. Lovingly. So that is a start. I have to get my own pole (soon) and just slowly build back up my confidence and strength. I haven’t been on since as I want my injuries to heal. Don’t despair. Keep at it. Surround yourself with supportive people who understand the need and addiction to pole. Go slowly, listen to your body, but push pass the fear (safely and when you’re ready).
Sorry for such a long reply. R x -
