    Amisue ~ that’s just too freakin cute!!!
    My 4 year old used to spin on my pole all the time but she has goten tired of it (I got my pole last year in June). My 11 year old daughter knows that I do it for exercise and the challenge. I dont do anything sexy on it unless they are both in bed so to the its really one more equipment that i use in the garage.

    January 18, 2011 at 8:19 am in reply to: Style and Transitions

    I must say that when I started pole dancing I was too focused on doing all spins with good form to even think about transitions and style. It wasnt until a couple of months ago that I started taping myself and noticing that I looked a little stiff dancing. Since then Ive started watching other dancers videos and have foind a few styles that suit my natural body movements. I like leigh ann’s style… the arched back and butt sticking out, the hair flips…etc . In my case it takes watching others and trying different things to see what feels and looks natural.

    pink_bubbles-yup, the cracking sound was a little disturbing. The pain is not as bad as the last time though so hopefully it means a quicker recovery. I will look up what you recommended for stretching, thanks!

    amy-I’m not sure if I am engaging the front of my leg, can you explain what you mean by that? I think ot happened when i was sitting with my legs in the straddle position and then bringing my chest to the floor. I heard a crack but no pain at the moment. It wasn’t until I finished stretching for the night that I felt pain.

    I was hoping to find a good deal too but everyone has them for about the same price. I ended up buying only one disc and will keep buying them separately ( it hurts to spend so much at one time).

    Perfect!  Another one to look up : ).  I have a pole class in an hour and then coming back home to do my homework on all these yoga dvds.  Can't wait to order one and start yoga at least twice a week.

    I have a quick question for those of you that use yogatoday.com. Are the lessons taught for one pose at a time or are they like a full workout session? I think I will benefit from the lessons there, thanks for the suggestion ladies!

    shellypoles- I’m looking to improve my strength even more than flexibility. Trying to hold my legs up while spinning is very hard for me and I know that yoga will help with that. Thanks for the suggestion, I will look him up as soon as I get home today : )

    madfelice- thanks for mentioning this! arnica has never worked for me so i’m eager to try something else. I bruise way too much and my bruises last very long as well. I’m so excited, hopefully it works for me.
