It’s hard to tell from the angle of the photo but I think you’re a bit too close to the pole and high up on the thigh.
Try placing the pole farther from the hip crease, towards the thigh. If you’re doing it from the squat make sure your torso is not too close to the pole. Being too close will reduce your leverage.
It should look like this…. I’m leaning back away from the pole creating an angle with my upper body.
Let me know how it goes!

Sorry I no longer have any posters.

Ah yes, I remember your story. I agree that often, pain brings about an expression of beauty. We can’t have one without the other.
That’s an incredible picture, you have so much talent.
PS one of my favorite songs to play on guitar is Hallelujah.

I saw your Reddit post as well, but I’ll just answer here. 🙂
As long as you have a feeling that you “should” be at a certain point, and this goes for everything, even life. You’ll have to deal with feelings of not being enough, or behind.
Take a few minutes and write down what your motivation is for learning to pole dance? Is it for fun, to stay fit, to compete to prove something to others or yourself, or reach a certain level? If you feel it’s to reach a certain level then ask yourself why you want this? Understanding why we want something can help unlock things in our mind. In my opinion the most fun way to approach pole is for fun and exercise. It’s what I try to facilitate in my lessons, but I understand most people want and expect to see progress or “finish” everything here.
Learning to let go of expectations that you’ve set up in your mind can be one of the hardest things for us to do. I’ve struggled with this forever, and still do. If you can remind yourself to let go of expectation, and stay in the moment, life and pole dance can be a source of fulfillment instead of frustration.
In my personally life I can relate to feeling frustrated with slow progress because I’ve always been naturally musical. I’ve been able to play most instruments without much knowledge of them, it came easy for me. However, I started learning the guitar in Feb of 2022 and it’s been sooooo hard for me. I had started playing guitar in high school and gave up, switching to bass guitar, within a few weeks because it didn’t come easy to me like all of the other instruments. I’m still no where near what my expectations were, but I play almost every night, I just enjoy it. I’ve had to stop using the part of the guitar app that tracks progress because it was making me feel frustrated. My point is, just because we have skills in one area that would seem to translate to another, doesn’t mean it will.

You could also try using a pole wrap sp you can wear warmer clothes while you practice.

Hi! How you train will depend on your goals. I can provide an in-depth answer if you’d like. Just let me know what your goals are.
I like to lift weights the same day I pole dance to allow my body full rest days.
If you’d like to follow something without needing to plan yourself. Check out all of my 30 day programs or VIP plans, the plans are week long. All programs include strength work, flexibility, muscle release, lots of tips, other tricks to know and work on to reach your goal and rest days. Even if you lead know how to Invert for example, using the Invert program is a great way to get a wonderful pole session in at home.
