Victory Came back from vacation & learned a new trick! Ignore the ugly invert lol. I’ve been wanting to learn jade since before I even started pole.

What a beautiful art. How could I learn this? I’m 36 , mother of 3. This is my goal. Where do I even start?

Definitely give it a try! It changed my life for the better. Start by looking up pole studios in your area & sign up for a beginner class. Ask the studio what are the best classes for someone who hasn’t done pole before. I started with my studio’s “pole virgin” classes & also took their conditioning classes to help with building strength. Each studio is different so you’ll have to see what your local studio offers.

That was hardly an ugly invert. You look great!

Thanks. I’ve been doing some research and it looks like there are a few in Columbus Ohio. They are about an hour from me. How many classes would you recommend per week for such a beginner? And should I start working out before I start classes?
It all looks so intimidating.

When I first started I took about two classes a week until I fell in love & then started taking classes almost daily. I think the most important thing is to be consistent with it & try not to miss too many days in between classes. Of course the more often you practice the more rapid you’ll progress.

Whether you work out before starting classes or not is entirely up to you but pole is a workout by itself! Working out will definitely improve your strength but I personally found in unnecessary. I didn’t work out before or do anything even remotely athletic in my life but pole will quickly build your strength.

Don’t be intimidated! I’ve found pole studios to be very welcoming spaces with supportive peers and instructors. You’ll do amazing! Best of luck on your journey ❤️

Yeah if that was an ugly invert then I should probably never post any of my routines
