  • Congrats!!!!!!

    Yes, if you’ve been poling and working out for a while you can keep at it, just listen to your body. I stopped inverting towards the middle of the second trimester. I was worried about being upside down for extended periods of time because my babies stay head down and ready for a long time and I didn’t want to change that!! The biggest thing is to make sure you stay hydrated, don’t over heat and avoid lying on your back because doing so can decrease blood supply to the baby. The big thing with pole is to avoid falling and avoid moves that place pressure on the belly.

    Also be careful with twisted grips, split grips and one arm spins as this places stress on the shoulders, and while pregnant the body produces relaxin and it can cause ligaments to become loose. Some women are not bothered by it and others really notice. So don’t over do flexibility training for that reason.

    The Veena method has more info too https://www.studioveena.com/methods/letter

    For diastasis recti, don’t do normal sit ups, don’t do planks (side planks are good) don’t do lots of shoulder mounts late in pregnancy, focus on exercise that strengthen the transverse abs and obliques, not so much the rectus abdominis.

    I would say private first, you’ll be able to have devoted attention.

    That’s exciting! When gaoing to the gym it will help to have a goal in mind, make sure it’s not too vague like, “like want to get in shape” If the gym has an option of working with a trainer even if it’s a one time thing go for it. Decide on a goal and plan your workouts and meals around that. What you eat is equally important in helping us stay alert and healthy.

    Getting anxious in class can totally make your hands sweat more! One thing I urge everyone to keep in mind, there’s no level that anyone needs to reach, there’s no move you HAVE to learn or do if it doesn’t fit you. Pole dance can be enjoyable the beneficial at any level and the only person we have to out do is ourself! Even if you never invert you can still enjoy pole and create beautiful work.

    It may work if you have sweaty hands? I think like I’ve heard of some using it, but I never have.

    It shouldn’t move and should feel just like when using the dome. Are the x’s lined up or maybe spin mode isn’t tightened enough?

    Yes, the pole on the stage is not meant to attach to the ceiling. The block permanent mount is for the pole alone not the x stage.

    Ugh, that’s always frustrating! Just know once you’re ready to have time to commit again, it will come back faster than when your first were learning. 💜

    I’m not sure what you’re asking. The fame can be adjusted to a very low height, you said your ceiling height is sorter than the max a frame height? Are you wondering if the frame goes lower so it will fit your space? If so yes, it can be adjusted.

    Hi! Be sure to always check the related lessons under the main lesson, these give you other lessons to work on to help you achieve the main lesson move. Of course it’s not a huge list and there are often many other options when it comes to strength but just wanted to remind you. You can try using the strength routines for upper body as well!!
