It will vary from person to person, but yep, it's totally normal to feel like your body needs time to adjust. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif In the lessons, I have you working on inversions from the ground first for example, elbow and reverse handstand against a wall or pole. It can also help to find a point to focus on when your inverting. For some the pole works as a point, you could use the ceiling, or even a spot behind you depending on what you're doing. I think a lot of new "inverters" tend to close their eyes and hold the breath, so that can make it more disorientating. It'll get better https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I totally agree that not all moves are suitable for all students. It is important for both student and teachers to be realistic and what may seem harsh to one person my not to another.

Yes, I think listening to your body is always best. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

It's common in yoga for instructors to suggest students avoid inverted poses during menstruation. But I don't believe there has been any medical evidence supporting the "no upside down while flo is around," theory. Most importantly, listen to your body, if you have very heavy periods you may feel too uncomfortable to invert anyway. I invert all the time when flo is here and I'm still alive. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

If you do have tendonitis it's important to rest a little first, before starting to strengthen. And stop working on split grips for a while. Once inflammation has gone down then you can start to strengthen. Try some massage as well, using the foam roller can feel great. For those of you taking the lessons there are a several conditioning lessons and stretches that are important for pole dancers to use. All you need is an inexpensive fit band.
Kyrelle, a video would be helpful to see what your technic looks like…. also not every move is suitable for everyone.

Hi, welcome to the site!!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifStepping out of your comfort zone is a good thing, I would go for it! A good studio will not have beginners inverting or doing high momentum spins with both feel off the floor. Instead they might focus on movement, strength training and basic pole concepts. So keep that in mind when you visit.

Not sure if you're still taking the lessons Riddle but the girls are right…..so try working on Option 2 in the shoulder hooping lesson first. Don't be afraid to round the upper back and shoulders, and really push the chest forward. Hooping isn't like pole dance where we should stay strong and neutral in the upper body, get loosy goosy and keep the knees soft too!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

A floor to ceiling pole would be best and most stable (less wiggle)…it would also allow you to do more transitions down to floorwork, than a stage pole. If your ceilings and floor are not damaged or weak, then I would go with the xpert. A stage is great for demos and using outside but they take up a lot of indoor space though!

Here are some other threads on this subject. You do want to address your studio to see what their policy is.

The thing to remember with any finish (regardless of manufacturer) is, a proper warm up will always give you the best grip. So don't over think finishes. If I stand around in a cool room and chat, I'll have trouble working with ANY finish.
