I think you were taking the lessons so I'm guessing you've seen this video? Tips for Spinning pole http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0&list=UUup79MtZnWP_SCAHeVlmzdQ&index=8&feature=plcp
After I've been off the spinning pole for a while it takes me a few sessions to acclimate! Keep at it. Try a little every time you pole, do it at the end of you session so you don't end up too dizzy or sick to practice lol. Stay upright the first few sessions, don't invert right away. I never spot or look at the pole, I just let my eyes wonder. Do a few holds, then move on to floorowork or something non spinning. Then go back to do a few more passes on spin. Little bits at a time work great for me. I get sick feeling when I start using my yoga hammock the first few times too, because of the motion. LOL I does get better, keep at it!!
Come see me in Vegas and we'll work on it!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Well as you probably know I teach that the outside leg comes to the pole first. This allows for the nice sweeping motion (it shouldn't be a kick though!)https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif and keep the upper body close to the pole. I personally rarely go right into a Scorpio/inside leg hang from standing, it has never felt as pretty to me. Not saying it isn't, just I don't like how it "feels". If the lead leg was reversed I think students may be more likely to smack into the pole, or stand too far away while bring the leg up? Unless your inverting with hips in front of the pole with legs in V position, but this is very advanced. It's interesting to think about, makes me want to go invert. lol I do a move called the up n over where the inside leg leads and it feels so weird. lol

I have MANY xpoles….. old style, new style and stages. They are a great pole. We sell them on the site as well and offer free shipping! As long as you set them up right you'll be fine. My favorite xpole finish is their titanium gold, it's grippy right away. I have had troubles with their brass being slick when the weather gets cool. If you live in a very warm climate or really sweat alot the brass might work best for you.
I'll post a video of myself using them….here I'm using the 45mm titanutm and 40mm chrome

Here is the same 45mm titanium only extended higher.

Yes, it's palm up. I have a lesson for it here if you like.
Shoulder stand https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4d3d902e-226c-446f-9339-2e730ac37250
Make sure that you're not putting all of your weight on the shoulder, but rather really push through with the hand that is on the floor.

Armonia, if you like just use the contact link and explain that you want to switch plans. Webmaster will take care of it.

You have to put most of your weight on the hands, so you need good balance. It helps too if you have very flexible hamstrings, this will help you keep the weight off the pole more and onto the hands. You can't rely on using the pole much as you slide down.

You can do it on spinny. 🙂

I agree, I would get a pole that has both.

I think about 80 for the mount, I'd have to look it up. The extreme is the spinning pole, the sport does not have spin mode. Send us an email using the contact link and we can help you out! 🙂

Yes, Katastrophe everything is the same, just the top is screwed in. Yes you need to find the beam and drill into that. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
