After I stopped poling regularly, I lost my handspring. I loved this move, and suddenly on Monday it came back after two years of not being able to do it. I can’t even verbalise how excited I was! Not only did I hold it several times, but steadily, and long enough to get a photo.

It’s not perfect as my legs are far too high, but I’m so excited to feel the work paying off again. Welcome back baby, I missed you.

Also I’m still working on stretching out my wooden plank of a back, I guess. I'm determined with a little patience and hard work to get better, this year.

Back on with the private lessons after a bit of a drought after Christmas (that long January is a painful, poor month). Star Gazer into a Rainbow. 18/02/2017

Remi sit into a lay back. Excuse my spatial awareness. This move looks so pretty and effortless but it bloody hurts when pulling yourself up. There's a lot of weight on that back foot and crushed calf! Getting into this was a bit of a struggle but I'm pleased to say it's my third lesson in like... three years I guess. One day I'll make it look pretty.

It’s been a really, really long time since I’ve been back to pole!

When I used to update this blog I was two years younger, probably a stone lighter and way stronger than I used to be. I’m trying hard to get back in the saddle now with more private lessons, so hopefully I will be back and posting more!

Shout out to the 10,000 porn blogs that followed me over the last two years 😘

Double Matrix hang with my homegirl Laura! 

This hang is a real bugger to hold, and we're working on pulling up into a handspring for it.

I don't know what this is called; I keep thinking 'Russian lady' but that can't be right so who knows what glue I've been sniffing;.

Either way, it's quite a nice move but it does hurt the back of the knee!

Marksman! My second week back at pole after, god... a good few months. It's nice to see I've still got some strength but this move really does hurt my shoulder for a while!

I'M BACK BITCHES

Hannah doesn't look like she trusts me, but I'm ready to catch her.

Ok, ok, I'm addicted to the Stargazer. I admit it.

I like this move a LOT. This is an attempt at extending it, and I think it looks quite nice. I needed a bit of help reaching back enough, but I'd like to keep pushing at it so I can do it easily. I'd love to be able to do it over-arm, too.

Again, the bottom leg needs working on now, but it seems to curl up the more my back bends over. Gotta work on that.

Again, a couple of weeks old. My old nemesis, the Elbow Hang. The second picture is appalling but whatever.

This move looks SO nice when done properly but I just can't seem to get the grip comfortably. I know it's never going to be COMFORTABLE but it honestly felt like my shoulder was about to dislocate after I'd held the pose for a while.

This is a couple of weeks old but I forgot to upload them all, whoops. Stargazer again, aka my new favourite move. Looks SO much better now that bottom leg is straight!

Little bit of Twisted Pole fun-- reflective Ninjas!

[mivaae]

My first attempt at an elbow hang! Unfortunately it is blurry and my toes are dire because I didn't quite get the grip right! My swollen and bruised forearm can attest to that...

It's a beautiful move when done right, though, and I was kind of pleased for my first go.

An important thing about doing pole is always knowing that your teacher is there to support you.

Yogini! This move looks SO cool but good god did it hurt. I'm pleased with the picture, though! I'd like to be able to get into it without looking like I'm in agony, though.

More back flexes! I should have that knee against the pole I think, whoops.

One day I will touch my foot. ONE DAY
