A little glass of tangerine wine gave me the courage to try my first Ayesha! 🥲

So proud of my progress - 8 months in

I'm so proud of myself that I wanted to share this! I'm 8 months in and I can't believe I did this combo. Scorpio has been my nemesis for so long and the other side is still a struggle because of the pain of the skin. No I have to start working on the other side!

Preferred bag question

Hello friends! What are your preferred bags for holding all your pole nonsense/pleasers/kits? In my specific case, I'm asking because I'm a commuter (either walk or bus to work) and with my new schedule will need to go to the studio right after. I'd need to be able to carry work clothes, pole clothes, and heels (and food?) at the bare minimum.

I'm currently using a dufflebag but I really do find it cumbersome to travel with if I don't drive. Any other solutions that you guys have found?

Set up pole question

Hiii I’m looking to get my first pole and set it up at my art studio. I have but I wanted to see if anyone else has set up a pole with concrete floors and I’m not sure the type of ceiling. I would rather not end up like the videos I see of tension poles falling 🫠 I was looking into lupit poles or X poles. This is what the rooms kinda of look like ceiling and floor wise.

I hate inverts

I have been doing pole for a year and while i can do some advanced things i for the life of me cant invert.

Its one of the most unnatural moves i have came across in my entire life. The whole movement just doesnt stick in my head and i really suck.

I feel like because i cant do an invert i dont advance at all since all the internediate classes require an invert. Ughhh. Its so frustrating. All the other tricks i could progress quite quickly but inverts are the death of me…

Trying to get my inverted pencil (any advice?)

I'm still pretty new to Ayesha, can only do it going down and with twisted grip. I can hold my Ayesha for pretty long on spin, but once i leave the shape , it starts feeling shakey. So atm i can only transition from ayesha to crucifix or extended butterfly. My goal (one of my goals) is to be able to do a ceiling walk, which is why i need the inverted pencil or straightedge, whatever it's called. I just started dabbling in it. Any advice ? ☺️

Heels too small or a technique issue?

Been enjoying my first pair of heels — Leecabe size 37 (US 7). I typically wear size 7.5-8 US and got advised by their customer service to size down. Felt snugg at first but eventually the PVC straps molded to my feet. Problem is, whenever I slide on my front toe box, it’s my actual toes that hit the ground.

Wondering if it’s the heels or is it me? Lol. Help a baby polerina out!
