I'm so grateful to have pole in my life full time now, but when I found pole in 2014, I was a CPA working at KPMP in the audit department!

jamimah You're welcome! Here for all of it.. when things are going well AND when things are going not so well, so I'm glad you shared your frustration here, so we could all come together and talk through it. Hmmm I am a podcast hopper lol I've listened the most to The Artist Athlete by Shannon McKenna, so it was probably that one!

Pole_Aris_ thanks for posting this here! Okay so it looks like you did the transition in this video. What is happening the other 9/10 times hehe? do you mind sharing a video of that? One thing that might help you feel more secure once you get into the superman position.. squeeze your butt and press your hips down to the ground. Some people also like to cross the ankles to get a more secure lock! Let me know if that was helpful and keep me posted on your next attempts. By the way, your jump to superman is amazing!!

And also because of your fall, your nervous system is probably just taking a little extra time to feel secure here.. because it's just trying to keep you safe 🥰 So as always, make sure you're breathing during all these transitions to tell your body.. it's okay!❤️

Thanks so much for sharing this Vanessa!! I don't think this topic is talked about enough. It's okay and completely normal to table moves. I know Josephine Edith Graabæk is another babe that can relate to this with BOP and Kadeluxe with her handspring. I had the same story with BOP myself. I tabled it for months... maybe even a year lol In the IG world of seeing (more often than not).. someone doing a trick smoothly beautifully with no struggle...we often expect the same from ourselves, but it's an urealistic expectation. Another thing to add... I was listening to a podcast recently and something resonated with me.. They were discussing the fact that in order to keep our bodies safe from injury, we should really only be doing moves on the pole that are WITHIN our range of capacity and flexibility. We really shouldn't be expecting ourselves to accomplish moves that are PUSHING the limits of our strength and flexibility. We should be working those moves more from the floor. I hope this makes sense! jamimah ❤️
