    I have trouble on bare lyras…seems very odd but it’s true and it’s because my palms sweat when I am doing something I’ve never done before…and lyra is scary to me anyway. I feel way more solid on the pole. I’m sure that fear and subsequent sweaty hands would lessen with time, but I’m not on lyra enough to know and be comfortable yet. However….I also don’t like a fully taped hoop because it’s SO, so grippy. One brilliant solution I have seen is to only tape key contact points, leaving most of the lyra bare.

    ^ that pic is creeping me out! 😛

    If I’m understanding this stretch correctly, I can do it and think it’s great training for a straight leg and toe point. I don’t have any hyperextension anywhere on my body. lol

    It’s not bad..if you go to a good one. I go and it helps me tremendously. I go less frequently now than I have in the past, partly because I am doing a lot of self care (massage and stretching/ strengthening) which helps keep me balanced.

    I just read your update (and the original post again) and I wouldn’t be comfortable with the dress code there, either. I always liked to pole in bikini bottoms at the studio if I felt like it, and am so glad there was never a ‘rule’ against it (in fact it never even crossed my mind). Love the sexy side!!

    are you triply sure your ceiling is exactly 8 feet? Or is it slightly less? I used the nonskip pad with mine for a very, very long time til someone said they didn’t use theirs and had no probs. I ditched it and it was fine…GL!!

    I don’t notice extra sensitivity or anything, but I DO notice weakness. Moves that I can usually do feel 1,000 times harder or impossible.

    @jsheridan…can you tell me more about bikram? is that the hot yoga? wondering because I too have torn both my hamstrings and REALLY want to have them ‘not hurt’. How often do you go? What is it do you think that is most effective in helping them not act up?

    I haven’t seen shoes that cheap, unless you get lucky and find someone local selling some in your size that you like! I do recommend these shoes, they are 40: http://www.snaz75.com/el-601-juliet.html
