I'm sorry your having a tough time. I know what its like to have less than ideal pole space. I know its not a perfect space but at least you could do what you can with it. You never know something better may come along for you. Is there some other place you could rent for yourself. Or maybe put the pole up at a friends house?

I haven't found anything that works for me while on the pole and inverted…but as soon as I am off the pole I look directly at my pole (so its in between my line of sight) and it really helps!https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_r.gif

Are you taking the lessons here? If so I would take a look at the shoulder mount lesson,https://stage.studioveena.com/lessons/view/b9b368b0-b880-11df-856f-001b214581be I show you exactly how to fine the right position placement of the shoulder. Also I teach this move from the ground first. I don't recommend trying this from standing until you understand the mechanics of it from the floor. There are many tips for a good shoulder mount but making sure the pole is placed near the neck on the Trapezius is important. https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

Welcome! You have a great resource right here!! https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif My lessons are set up for you to follow in the order in which they are placed. I developed my teaching method and placed lessons so new dancers will increase strength first.

Hotness…I'll make it short.
For stretching you can warm up by either taking a quick REALLY HOT bath. Or do all your flexibility training AFTER you workout weather that's pole or running ect. You need to get your heart rate elevated so the muscles warm and become more "pliable" reducing your risk of injury. I never include static stretches in my warm ups and if I do its VERY light stretches at the END of a warm up. Studies have shown there is really no point in using stretches as your actual warm up. Think of your muscles like cheese…cold cheese breaks and crumbles, warm cheese melts and pulls apart in long lovely strings of gooeyness.https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I'm really low maintenance….
Wash face nights I wear makeup or after a workout. I use a Neutrogena bar.
Then Loreal anti "old eyes" lol cream under eyes
Then Aveeno face lotion.
I'll do a mask once in a great while……
I drink lots of water https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

@Misskitty…Vdub is right usually it will go away. Pulling behind the knees is fine and you may even feel it along the calves too! Shaking is also common.https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Just be sure your not rounding your back too much as your stretching the Hamstrings. This goes for any position used to stretch the hams. Think of trying to stick your butt out before getting into position. You might find you can't bend over as far but you'll put more of the focus on the hams and not the low back. Also I like to inhale to release the stretch… exhale to increase the stretch. Muscles need oxygen even when stretching.https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Let me add, when it comes to fitness, diet and things of that nature you will NEVER see EVERYONE agreeing on what the "correct" method is. Things in the fitness industry are always changing..and fast. We learn one thing then find out a year later this is out dated. Don't stress about it! The most important thing is to LISTEN TO YOUR BODY https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gifIf you feel stretching longer seems to benefit you then do that, it will not hurt you. If you are not seeing progress THEN you know its time to try a different method. Always warm up fully before stretching and never push to the point of pain https://stage.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
