This is an encouraging place, and we all love to see how a poler grows. The others are right, we are our worst critics! Please don't feel you need to only post perfection https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
Take a look at some of my videos, you'll see quite a few of them are attempts at things, and they are not all perfect. In fact, there are very few of my videos I like!! lol We see every little flaw in ourselves, but others might just be inspired by you. Someone who is a beginner and posts a video will inspire other new dancers and so on.
Here's a funny vid of me hooping https://stage.studioveena.com/videos/view/4f4e6991-dc00-42a7-b244-44c20ac37250It's all about sharing and growing here, not nit picking and mindless insults like youtube and facebook.
this is one where I'm just messing around with new things and trying handstands. https://stage.studioveena.com/videos/view/4e8076f8-4790-4cc1-9f59-63b80ac37250
Hope to see a video from you soon https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I do have exercises and stretches for all the muscle groups Keex listed 🙂 Take a look at the lesson discriptions to learn what muscle groups are the focus.

Its a normal fear! The girls have some great advice for you.
Telling yourself it can be done and you will do it, is huge when it comes to learning new things. Pole is mentally challenging as well as physically!
I do suggest getting comfortable with being upside down before learning to do a basic invert. Try working on Reverse handstands, you can do an inverted crucifix from here! Elbowstands are great as well, and can be practiced against the wall or pole. 🙂

Hello welcome to the site!! As mentioned, there are lessons here too 🙂 they are all arranged in order, focusing on building strenght first, to help prevent injury. So there is no guessing, or trying to figure out what to do next. Enjoy getting back on the pole!

It was just a link for a discussion posted here resently about pregnancy. If you use the search you’ll find a number of posts on this topic 🙂

I do talk about opening up at the hips in the lesson. Depending on when you had the lessons it may have been an old one. We are now on our third generation of lessons 🙂

This thread may help you.
https://stage.studioveena.com/forums/view/338. Always stick to exercises your familiar with when pregnant and speak with your midwife or dr about what's best for you.
Congrats!!!!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

All of these cheap poles usually are ok as far as not falling down. The issue will be that the joints begin to flare out and can cut you!!!!

Oh PS, you don't have to have a crazy oversplit for nice lines.https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

With the aysha it can totally be an illusion. A common mistake is to open the legs up and directly out the sides. But really you need to rotate from the hips reaching the legs forward (slightly) and into a V. Just like you would do a sitting v on the floor. You can see the positioning for many angles in these lessons
I show what it looks like to bring the legs up and out here (the wrong way) well not really wrong, but lesson attractive!!!

For other aerial spin moves, you'll need to increase your glute, hamstring and hipflexor strengthhttps://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif.

There is probably nothing wrong with your pole. You could double check to make sure the pole is tight enough. Mine spins very freely too and I don't need much push to end up flying around!! It takes time to learn control. Try to imagine dragging your arms, legs and body through water, moving slooowly onto the pole. Every pole will spin a bit differently so it's good to test out any pole you haven't used before doing tricks on spinny.https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
