    I work full time as a cosmetics manager. I’ve worked for several Sephora locations thought NYC over the course of 10 years. I am also a makeup artist, and personal Eyelash Extensionist/brow tech.

    I have a pole blog, as well as a fitness blog; teach beginner pole privately and in-studio, and host private/mobile pole parties, I am studying for my certification in Personal Training, and group fitness.

    I also want to become a fitness/bikini competitor, so I work and volunteer in local NCP competitions, hit the gym 6 days/week.

    Phew …that made me tired.

    I noticed your hands were a little high. Good job identifying!

    Personality is a really big deal for me. I feel that if an instructor cannot relate to you at a human level, and they are unapproachable it will make me extremely uncomfortable in class. I like an instructor that can believe and accept my limitations (I know that I do not have a good memory, and I’m not the most flexible person in the world). At the same time I like to be challenged. Someone who can identify where I could push myself harder and communicate that to me in a positive, and motivating way is amazing!

    My pole fell tonight as I was in a twisted ballerina spin! Very painful, but kinda funny… I was wrapped around the pole so tight, and spinning so fast, I couldn’t comprehend what was happening, then could not unravel myself (when I figured out I was falling). The pole landed on top of me 🙁

    July 29, 2012 at 9:54 pm in reply to: Engaging your core….?!

    This is puzzled me for a long time. I’ve always wondered if I was doing something wrong or if I was not properly engaging right muscles. I went to a pole instructor who told me to pretend that I was trying to get into the tightest fitting pair jeans that I had, and so making that squeeze would be engaging my core.

    We do an exercise on the floor where knees are bent our feet are close to our butt, and we focus on lifting our butts off of the floor, with very little momentum, or pushing off of the floor with our hands. We also do lots of core work with medicine balls, and negatives.

    I’ve noticed that I have a lot more control and much smoother in inverts since doing this.

    …looks like I’ll be needing to loosen mine, too. It does the exact same thing, and makes an almost “knocking” noise when spinning.
