    Elbow stands are great ways to work on acclimating the body to an inverted position with. This can be done with handstands as well however, many people have a fear of handstands and their arms not being able to support them, so you’ll see the Elbow stand placed first in the lessons. Neither elbow or handstand are something that HAS to be learned.

    Often times it’s just a matter of making some slight adjustments to fix your elbow stands. Taking video of yourself so you can see what your doing can be helpful.

    Hi Allyson, have you tried using the lessons here to guide you through your home practice?

    Lilredrobinhood is right about all the things that can affect a pole session. One of the biggest issues is not warming up enough and just not having a plan. πŸ™‚

    If you’re taking the lessons I show you how to work with a short pole during climbs. Basically you’ll stay in crucifix and release the legs just enough to slide back down the pole. This way you can climb over and over. It’s a great way to practice leg control.

    So far I’m under the impression that it can fade over time, since I’ve only had this issue when I started.

    I almost always fall back on pole dance when I go through hard times, including when my sister was in the hospital and her life was fading, dance was how I coped with the situation. The only exception was when my dad passed, it took time for me to feel like dancing again. However, when I did finally dance, it was very healing.

    I’m sorry for your loss MissChief!

    That sucks you’re feeling down! Keep in mind that our body weight can fluctuate between 3-8 pounds depending on salt intake, water intake, time of day and many other things. Also, I’m sure you have gained muscle!!! Screw the scale, it’s better to go by how your clothing fits or use measurements. There are skinny people that are not heathy and larger people that are in great health! I think America should get over size and focus on quality of life and health.

    I think it’s pretty common to switch between, or love all aspects of pole.

    I gravitate towards the artistic and sexy side, tricks are fun to work on if I’m in the right mood. I guess I would say, how I dance, really depends on my mood. I would love to be perceived as very well rounded pole dancer that can express everything from fun to sensual. I personally don’t want to be known for only one genre of pole.

    Yeah, I agree with everything mentioned, breathing, possible channel opening and the theory of adding a new nerve stimulus. I still would like to find more solid reasoning why this happens. I haven’t found anything real solid online went I’ve gone googling, and I like the suggestions you all have mentioned, are there any articles online that support the theories of nerve stimulus, and channels opening. I love reading about that stuff. If you guys don’t know right off hand I’ll just google it πŸ™‚

    I’m pretty aware of my breath so I don’t think that was the issue, but I know I haven’t had the sick feeling recently, and it did happen a lot when I first started so I could see the possibility of nerve stimulus. Our bodies are so amazing and mysterious!
