    Thank you for bringing this topic. So far, I haven't find the best solution. Recently, I've decided to try the IPL method and after only 1 session on the whole body, within 24 hours I felt completely exhausted – like a discharged battery with a disastrous effect on my thyroid (I did blood tests!).  It took me at least 3 months to recover. Maybe for some of you it works, but I am very sensitive person and you might not know that the pulse light goes over the energetic meridians of the body!!!! It's a kind of radiation…. I talked to the doctor who reimbursed me partially the session, saying that I was the first person to complain about the negative effects of this method.

    I still look for another less harmful solution, maybe something like the Silk Epil….

    I just wanted to share my experience…

    Well, my encounter with the Pole is due to the S.Factor DVDs of Sheila Kelley. Actually I've bought only for the 2 DVDs witht he floorwork & her book and was surprised to get the DVD with the Pole for beginners. Her story is quite interesting about how she got to the Pole. In her book, she says that every woman has to try Pole dancing at least once in her life. At first, I just put this behind me and thought this is not for me, only for the strippers. After few months, I was intruigued by the DVD and decided to search for a Pole Instructor in Brussels and I found the Belgian Pole Chance Champion, Sarah Cavenaile who is giving courses. Since January I have 2x week courses and I should say that Pole has changed my life. In the meantime, I bought a pole and get really addicted to it. It helps me to build by confidence, stretch myself physically, emotionally and mentally; it's challenging and also helps me to maintain my weight steady (which was a big struggle in the past). Since 1 year and a half I have a hiatale hernia which affects my digestion system a lot, and as per the doctors there is no solution but taking anti acids on a regular basis and eventually having a surgery. I am totally against the pils and the surgery is not really indispensible at this stage. I've tried also ostheopathy but not much improvement. However, what I noticed is that thanks to the work out on my abs since 6 months, there is a slight improvement in my digestion system. I suffer less from the acidity and I will not be surprised if by the end of the year the hernia is gone. In this sense and quite surprisingly the Pole helps me indirectly with my health problems….I feel also better in my body, in peace with who I am. Since April, I've studied a choreography with other Pole mates to present in a dance show which was last Saterday. It was my first performance on stage and also one of the best that were appreciated by the public. I liked it so much that I am ready to do it again…

    Thank you very much, Rose May! You are totally right about the space and the angle. I have to play with the camera depending on what kind of work (pole or floor) I do. I can't afford it for the moment buying an expensive camera but definately the large angle will be considered if I come to that point! Thanks again for your experience!
