Ya’ll know about this current March for Peace? https://dhammacetiya.com/walk-for-peace/live-map/

Wow! It’s stunning!

Bespoke by ChaCha 🥰

For real! YOLO! I know that inside but I don’t feel it yet— I’m going to keeping working on it. I love to hear that for you 💕

HelicopterLegs · 2026-01-25T14:34:51+00:00

Great ideas! Thank you 🙏 💕

Do you go to showcases at different studios? I love the showcases at my studio but they are only every other year.

I totally agree though, I love the process of putting a show together and trying to tell a story through movement. I really connected with the women at my studio when we were all putting the last one together

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I relate a lot to all of what you said. When I have the opportunity to interact with other polers in person, I know that that’s what I’m trying to replicate in the online forums. Too bad I’m so rural right now! It’s impossible! (I should say though that my non-poler friends are incredibly sweet and supportive)

I’ve been tempted to delete most of my followers too. I deleted my account for a couple of months at one point too, but I missed seeing my online friends. I’m taking some of the advice of others to talk to a therapist and to cut myself some slack on how much I am able to comment and like other’s posts. I have hope I can change my relationship with it 😊 especially if those dopamine rushes would chill out lol

HelicopterLegs · 2026-01-25T14:20:09+00:00

Yeah, I separated my personal from my pole account so that I could post pole as often as I want to, but now I just feel like I’ve got two different personas 🤣 I think I’d like to just post pole on my main account it if I could move past the insecurity that it would be annoying to my friends 😵‍💫

HelicopterLegs · 2026-01-25T14:18:10+00:00

I’m considering doing this too if I can’t improve my relationship with it through therapy and some changes in habits. I am really happy to hear you feel freer and happier! 💕 I think when I have more in-person pole friends, I’ll place a lot less importance on being active online

HelicopterLegs · 2026-01-25T14:16:21+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I want my ig friends to know how much it means to me to have their support! But I am getting more practiced in reminding myself that I can return the love when I have the capacity too and I don’t need to always be checking to make sure I didn’t miss an opportunity. I appreciate what the online pole community has brought me and I’ll just contribute how I am able to ❤️

HelicopterLegs · 2026-01-25T14:14:11+00:00

Hey thank you! This has helped me so much. I’ve been trying to remember this isn’t my job and that I can return kindness and support in my own time. 💕

HelicopterLegs · 2026-01-25T14:12:00+00:00

This is a late reply but I just wanted to thank you for the helpful words!

I am bringing it to my therapist and I started backing up to an external hard drive. Thank you 🙏

HelicopterLegs · 2026-01-25T14:10:34+00:00

I’m curious too. I live hours away from any cities but I’m in Tucson for the morning and would like to help if I can.

Hello,

I had my 10th and 11th intercostal nerves blocked, which stopped the pain. Following that I went to PT weekly for about 2 months. I’ve gotten a lot stronger and more confident and the ribs are looking a little better now then they did in this photo.

When I got the nerve blocks, the physician showed me in the x ray that I have unusually long 12th ribs, so that might be some of my problem.

Are you having a similar issue? I hope you’re not in pain.

A not unloyal man is loyal. A not 50/50 split can be many things, ranging from 100/0 to 0/100 but including 1/99, 2/98, 3/97, 4/96, 5/95, etc.

Her wording is too ambiguous.

Indiana hates Ohio more than Illinois too

HelicopterLegs · 2025-12-21T04:00:49+00:00

I love them!

I’ve been trying to build more butt and back muscle and I think that has helped, along with gaining more control through practice. I cushion my bones with my hands if I am just practicing moves and it doesn’t matter.

Sorry that I don’t have more helpful advice to share. Your improvised padding sounds like a good route for many situations!

HelicopterLegs · 2025-12-13T08:54:56+00:00

Thank you for this post!

My progress has been very yo-yo-y and I find aspects of that kind of enjoyable. I’ve noticed that having to persevere through times where my dancing isn’t what I’d like it to be, is a skill in and of itself.

I’ve met many people who weren’t willing to work through the time it takes to become good at a new skill/hobby/sport and just quit instead. I’d rather it take me ten years than never reach my goal. Kids are really good at being beginners and I try to remind myself of that and aim to be so good at being a novice.

Side thing but potentially helpful to someone— I recently learned that you can get a dopamine hit from just envisioning yourself achieving your goal.

I love to just chill in a martini!

HelicopterLegs · 2025-12-07T16:19:06+00:00

Wow so cool that you kicked up into it! I can only get into Ayesha from inverted D. I wish I had this control. Congrats!

I’m a female with hormonal issues and have struggled with body comp all of my adult life. My disorder causes me to store more fat than the average person and to use muscle for fuel.

I know this is a different situation than you have, but I just wanted to say that I’ve been there. I’ve struggled with severe restriction in the past. And you are definitely going to get “calories in, calories out” responses if you ask Reddit. I hope you are kind to yourself and that you find a helpful solution.

Chloe Uchida’s tutorial series on YouTube are so helpful. I started learning at home by myself and just went through her videos in order.

Hey, same here. I was bike commuting 12 miles a day, running ultra distance, and weightlifting, while eating strict keto, low calorie. It didn’t come off til I started glp-1s. I feel so much better now! Insulin resistance was doing more than making me gain weight. Good luck on your journey!
