I'm glad your ok now. The 30 day take off is a guide for people, it's not something you should feel you have to do. If you feel weak I would say doing the 30 days would be a good thing.

If you've been poling for years and are advanced then you'll probably be able to do inverts and such right away. But if you are still beg/inter and dance only occasionally then start with strength and stay with beginner pole work for the first 1-2 pole sessions. By the end of the week give inverting a try if you feel strong enough. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I forgot to answer the rest time question….again very it! Sometimes resting for only a breath other times waiting 30-60 seconds.

I personally think its good to very your hold time and the type of stretches you do. Doing 60 seconds for one week, then changing it up to 30 seconds reaching deeper into the stretch with each exhale, for a set of 3 to 10 the next week. There are tons of possibilities!

I usually have one day were I hold stretches for a long time more than 60 and then the rest of the week it will just be light stretching with 30 second holds. You can stretch too much and too often and this could cause tightness!

Oh that reminds me, here's a great blog to read! https://stage.studioveena.com/blogs/view/51a0ee3e-b57c-4267-b9f7-5bfd0ac37250

I think the tote bag is a great idea, you could buy a water bottle, towel, a cute little note book and pen, a tennis ball (for strengthening hands and massage) mints. You might want to offer to help her shop for pole wear so you don't buy something too small, if she is sensitive to that.

My whole body is more sensitive when it's close to my period. You'll find that pole sits might hurt more too during "that" time. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif

It's really common but everyone's definition of pain is different. If you feel muscular soreness, weakness that's fine, but if you feel sharp pain, lots of aching, numbness, burning, twinges of pain things like that are signs of overuse or improper hand placement. So if it's just soreness that's normal but be sure you're taking care of your forearms to prevent problems.

Things you can do:

Always, always, stretch the forearms after you do split grip work

Limit your split grip work to no more than once or twice a week (when your new to it)

Work on the conditioning lessons for forearms one to 3 times a week to prepare for split grip work

Massage or foam roll the forearms after

Don't over do it, Limit your attempts using split grips to no more than 10 times per session.https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I enjoy my Hammock, but haven't used it much at all for yoga. I have done some stretching with it though. My kids all love to play on it! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

The bottom arm bends because you’re pushing the torso up from that arm.

From your photo Mizzli, I can see that you haven't gotten the hips up high enough. You have to be past horizontal before you can grip the pole with the knee pit. This hips over head position, is what needs to click for the invert to happen, it's also when you'll feel the pole on the chest even as high as the clavicle and shoulder. You could try working on getting into the position by starting off in V legs and then tucking both legs as you work on lifting the hips over the head.

I do a hard tuck to get the hips up in this video @ 3:44 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myyLUUN65g0

I had that happen with the Flag Invert too. I was telling Amber how I just couldn't get it and bam! Up I went. lol

I think working on the Flag Invert from a V leg position for the lift is best, trying to kick off the pole doesn't give you the same feel. Also in this video you can see how the pole is pressed against the boobs as the body moves from flag to invert.

May 26, 2013 at 1:13 pm in reply to: Studioveena pole , is it possible take as a luggage on plane?

Hi, it's one piece, the box is about 9 feet long. roughly 4 inches, by 4 inches. I would guess the pole is around 25 pounds. Because it's long they would have to check the pole as baggage I'm guessing it would be 100 dollars to take an item like that on the plane. I'm really not sure what the charge would be though.

45 is becoming industry standard. 45 is what the Studioveena pole is. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
