hey ladies,
i am currently getting my pilates certification and had this idea of putting together a pilates mat program specifically for current and ex-strippers suffering from general stripper injuries/issues... "stripperitus" is what i call it. just wondering if this is something that anyone out there would be interested in taking? I'm based in Portland, OR but i just wanted to feel this out with you all.
the class would take into consideration common stripper pains, injuries and posture issues such as; lordosis (over arching of the lower back), hyper extension of the knees, lower back pain, overstretched hamstrings, tight hip flexors, etc etc and work to correct them and relieve pain. it would be a one hour drop in class offered twice weekly and all the exercises could be taken home and practiced there.
it just seems that so many of us get physically destroyed by dancing, whether its by the pole, the heels, or just by so much physical exertion... and i know most of you dont stretch enough or at all before going on stage, i know i dont.
so what do you think... yes, no? interested? would you actually attend?
really any feedback would be great
thanks!

How many girls in or out of the business would want to go to a stripper themed exercise class at a gym or elsewhere. Nice idea, but I would just concentrate my effort on something more marketable.


) and I also thought it would be a perfect way to target stripper related issues. Probably the best way, in my opinion. I suffer from all of the issues you mention.
