Yeah, I go to the studio when I want a proper mat (ie not couch cushions). Def a good thing!

I love getting into it form pike. I did a quick video exiting into scorpio. think of it as in slow-mo..I was at the studio for 3 hours this AM so my thighs were screaming at me. :)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfkR8v72E8o&feature=youtu.be
You can also exit into a flat line scorpioby putting your free arm on the pole. I need to try that too.
-
I have done it….slowly. LOL

superman to inverted thigh hold
superman to tuck to scorpio
superman to gemini
superman to inverted crucifix
i haven't tried all these yet, but i've been looking for ideas too!
-
what about some combos, do you want some combo ideas?
shoulder dismounts?
spinning scorpio switches? outside to inside leg hang switches?
reverse ayshas?
allegra?
caterpillars/caterpillar climbs?
I don't know what the falling star or holly drops are, I will try to find those to try them!

I agree Steffie, a little fear = a good thing. when i got my pole there were no studios near me so it wasn't an option to not do things on it if i REALLY wanted to learn (and i did).
If I'm working on a new move or feeling unsure, I'll throw my couch cushions down around the pole and/or have a spotter.
I love to pole alone too, and I use common sense also (phone nearby, well rested and not trying potentially dangerous moves when really fatigued, etc).
Congrats on getting a pole! 😀
-
I totally get that point–I may never do xx move or xx move–but it is practical for me to learn which moves pose problems for students with certain attributes. 🙂
-
Of course. Not every move will work with every body.
I was reading your post that said:
"what if the ONLY reason really was that she had larger/more shapely/bigger/curvier/thicker thighs????
So that is THE ONLY REASON a person cannot get a move."
And I was trying to think of moves that 'thick' thighs would prevent someone from doing.

Quote: Examples of what? Is that question directed to me or another post?
Yes, I was wondering what moves a student couldn't do because of thighs. I am a new teacher and this would be helpful to know.
-
What are some examples, please? This is a very interesting discussion…
-
the teacher, not knowing the students history, probably should have asked 'have you done this move before?' instead of presuming the reason why the student couldn't do it at that time.
there are sooo many factors as we all well know that lead to whether or not we can do moves on any particular day, so I can see her being bothered that assumptions were being made based on her body type, instead of her hands hurting or just plain being tired.

can someone tell me what an 'advanced apprentice' is? i'm not even sure what an apprentice is and am trying to figure it out. youtube is no help, at least, i couldn't find a tutorial or a clip…
-
what was the move?
-
i tried to do what you described and I couldnt do it (the moving right arm back and left arm fwd and vice versa to the right). i gotta pay attention to what other hoopers do at my jams. I can do the side to side movement though and the 'shrug' to hoop anywhere on the arms.

Poling in jeans is freakin' hard. Can't imagine letting go with the hands!
