Pole Adventures

I'm hungry... like all the time. As an orphan, I don't have a great relationship with food. So this doesn't pair well with wanting to get fit and lose weight😅 and I'm far from the only one who struggles with this! That's why I had a chat with Pam Moore on the Pole Adventures Podcast about Healing Your Relationship With Food, Exercise And Your Body! ✨❤️ Join The Adventure ❤️✨...

Ever heard your pole instructor say 'engage your core'... but have no idea what it means?! Your core is complex, and so is the role it plays in movement. And guess what helps? Your breath. I spoke to Nicola Kraemer on the Pole Adventures Podcast about How To Actually Understand And Use Your Core, and you won't want to miss this! ✨❤️ Join The Adventure ❤️✨ 1:05 Nicola's Pole A...

You can't half ass your training sessions... then complain you're not getting anywhere. Our bodies require a real incentive to make that 'change', which is so important to understand for any #polefitness goal. I spoke with Alicia Archer on the #PoleAdventuresPodcast on the Effort Equation: Encouraging Your Mind & Body To Accept Change. As an instructor, she knows the best w...

Whether you aim to reach your toes or twist yourself up like a pretzel, flexibility training is tough in it's own right! But here's the thing, you CAN do it. Any age, ability, history, body type... flexibility is possible.

If you've ever tried to work towards a certain pole move, or your general strength & flexibility... but quickly lost the motivation, boy you're not alone! Especially if you're not naturally a 'fitness' person, you work at a desk or hate the gym, it can be really hard to work up the strength you need to pole and not plateau. I chatted with Andrea Plancarte on the #PoleA...

Hands up anyone who's struggled with food😅✋ What we fuel our bodies with is critical to our output. It determines whether we have enough energy, recovery and strength to do the crazy stuff on the pole safely. I chatted with Stacey Shapiro on the #PoleAdventuresPodcast about Using Pole & Nutrition To Build Up Your Fitness & Strength, so don't miss this! ✨❤️ Join The Adventure ❤...

Getting in tune with your body can be difficult... so why not try movement intention?

A pole routine is much more than just slapping tricks together with music. It's about telling a story, conveying emotions, entertaining your audience.

I chatted with Sergia Anderson on all things routine... ✨❤️ Join The Adventure ❤️✨  1:05 Sergia's Pole Adventure 3:55 Sergia's most embarrassing pole moment 5:13 Th...

Ever thought of yourself as fat, or been called fat? 'Fat' is a word that has had increasingly negative connotations these days, when it really doesn't have to. We don't need to box ourselves in with labels, or be unhappy with who we are and what we look like. The Pole Comedian and I chatted about Self Love Through Redefining The Fat Mentality on the #PoleAdventuresPodcast and...

For some, your feminine (or masculine) sensuality comes out naturally. And for others... not so much! While pole is a great way to build that muscle, it can also be pretty discouraging. That's why I chatted with Tia Jax on this episode of the #PoleAdventuresPodcast on how to Exploring Your Feminine Self Through Pole. ✨❤️ Join The Adventure ❤️✨ 1:02 Tia's Pole Adventure 2:16 Tia's...

Pole dancers, do you have that 'nemesis' trick? I have several😅 Inverts, mainly. It's difficult when you feel like you can do it, you know you can do it, and you really need to do it to progress... And yet for some reason, you just can't. I chatted with Dr. Emily Rausch on the #PoleAdventuresPodcast about what to do When You're Desperate To Do That Trick, But Your Body Is...

When you look in the mirror, do you love what you see? In a perfect world, we would all say yes.

The mental game is just as important (if not more) than the physical one. And that goes for any sport, including pole! Unfortunately, we end up telling ourselves things like, 'I'm bad at inverts', or 'I'll never get my splits'... And you know what? If you think that way, it will be that way. I talked with Seonaidh Jamieson about Breaking Free From A Limiting Self-Narr...

*music turns on* "Okay, time to free dance!" - says every pole instructor ever who wants to freak out their students😭 Dancing without a routine can be terrifying. Finding your flow, not feeling awkward, actually making it look good... well, it makes me want to cry. But, it's an amazing skill to have.  That's why Miglena and I had a chat to talk about it! You'll learn:  ...

Bodies come in every shape and size... but in a sport like pole dancing, it can be hard to love what you look like.

I can't help but compare myself every time I walk in the studio. No matter what mental exercise, it's always in the back of my mind... "I'm struggling, and everyone else is doing fine." Even if it's not true (which it really isn't). That's why talking with Deb Roach on Pole Confidence Amidst Comparison was such an inspiration. Despite being born with a conge...

Poling is hard on the best of days... and even harder when you've injured yourself. Be it from pole, outside of pole, or something chronic, it sucks. I chatted with Colleen Jolly about Poling Through Major Injury Setbacks and she had some amazing advice for those returning, recovering, and even just preventing injury. ✨❤️ Join The Adventure ❤️✨  1:13 Colleen's Pole Adventure 4:42 Stayi...

When I step up to the pole, I feel like I'm a newborn giraffe. I can't seem to get my body to do what I want it to. And I have NO idea how to 'speak to it' because I'm so stuck in my head. Which is why our very first Pole Adventure is with Myss Angie, as we chatted about How To Connect With Your Body Through Pole! ✨❤️ Join The Adventure ❤️✨ 1:35 Myss Angie's Pole Ad...
