My Pole * Myself * My SensUal Joy

SensUal Joy

=======================

MY REWARDS FROM POLE DANCING

When Joy invited me to share my pole dancing class experience, I said YES without hesitation.

It is a great pleasure and an honor to

1. Share all the benefits I’ve gained from pole dancing at SensUal Joy and

2. Encourage any lady who is thinking of taking up pole dancing to STOP over-analyzing and JUST DO IT!

Love Program

Do it out of self-love. It is absolutely 100% worth it. YOU are worth it.

Allow me to elaborate on my enthusiasm for pole dance classes in SensUal Joy.

1. A Sense Of Inner Peace And Happiness

The combination of it all, getting to know myself, being able to do the things I wasn’t able to do before and gaining new knowledge has given me a sense of inner peace. I always feel extremely satisfied and happy with myself at the end of class. It is so Happy, Healthy and SensUal!

Joy says it is all the endorphins circulating in my body after the workout. But who cares why?! I feel HAPPY! JOUFUL! EXUBERANT! Ready to take on the world!

Love Program

2. A Sense of Confidence About My Own Physical And Mental Abilities And How Fabulous I Really Am!

As I do not have a dance background, to be able to execute moves worth of any professional dancers makes me feel REALLY GOOD ABOUT MYSELF.

Once I did my first swing walk, I felt transformed to another person. And my confidence has grown steadily lesson after lesson, one successful move after another.

My sense of pride swells each and every time that I manage to climb the pole and slide down. It doesn’t even matter if it was not executed in perfection. Just being able to climb the pole is an achievement in itself!

*beaming with pride*

3. I Have Learnt To Trust Myself

This is HUGE for me! To climb the pole and to do my pole swings requires so much courage from my part. There is always a part of me cluttered with fear holding me back. But slowly, little by little, I learnt to trust my body’s instincts. To trust ME to take care of myself and to simply let go.

Love Program

4. I Have Learnt To Let Go

I have learnt that pole dancing is a lot about allowing the body and your own instinct to take over. You are required to visualize the move you want to execute beforehand. Imagination plays a big part. Eventually, it is your body that has to act it out.

So you have to let go of the chatter in your head and just do it. Release and allow your body to take over. The moment that happens, it becomes natural. Everything falls into place and I execute my move. A fantastic surprise. I DID IT!

Love Program

5. I Have Learnt The Beauty And Rewards of Persistence And Knowing It Is OK To Make Mistakes

First, Joy will demonstrate the move I am about to learn together with detailed explanations. Next, she will allow me to make my first feeble attempt. I sometimes end up looking silly. Such as when I couldn’t climb the pole or when some of the swings simply go “wrong.”

Trust me, it looks really awkward. Joy will then give me more coaching and then leave me alone to work at it. That personal time with the pole helps to develop my relationship with the pole.

No matter how much Joy says or show me, I still have to be the one to take action and keep doing it until I get it right. To make mistakes and keep trying. Especially when it is a tricky pole trick that I have to nail down.

WOW, the feeling is AMAZING – “I DID IT. I FINALLY DID IT.” It is such an awesome feeling and I would feel on top of the world!

Love Program

6. I Have Discovered It’s More Than OK To Be Comfortable With My Own SensUality And Sexuality.

I Can Be Proud Of It.

I was never taught about sensUality. (Perhaps it is supposed to come naturally?) I used to be really frightened and confused about my sexuality. It started during adolescence when men started to look at me differently – no longer as a little girl, but as a sexual object.

And I had no idea about what to do with the power I had over men. As a result, my sensUality scares me. But learning pole dancing from Joy, receiving her encouragement and most of all, seeing first-hand another woman being comfortable in her own sensUal self has helped me tremendously.

Witnessing somebody else be BOTH sensUal and respectable at the same time proves to me it is possible for me too. It is not dirty to be sensUal. It is OK for me to just be myself.

Love Program

7. I Have Learnt The Importance Of And How To Slow Down

(Calm Down)

There is something so deliciously sensUal about a woman when she just slow down to indulge in and savour every moment of a pole slide. Leaning against the pole while rotating your hips … oooooh HOT!

A lady natural sexy side is on display. Some moves requires you to go a little faster, some moves slower, adding flavor and variety to your routine and making it so much more interesting.

So for someone like me who tends to go turbo speed feels as if I am almost forced to slow down. It becomes a different, surprising, wonderful, soothing and pampering experience

Love Program

8. I Learnt How To Get In Touch With My Body And Own It

Joy introduced to me the concept of free hand play –> touching myself, my hair, my body, all over and loving it.

How do I explain this?

It is a liberating experience for me, touching myself… like giving myself a personal massage. Affirming to my body that it is beautiful, wonderful, fantastic, amazing, attractive and I love and approve of it!

Love Program

9. I Have Found A Scared Space And Sanctuary Where My Inner Goddess Feels Safe To Reveal Herself

Thank to the atmosphere that Joy has painstakingly created in her studio as well as her coaching skills. From the decor of red velvet drapes, soft lighting, crazy horse lights during show-time, to the sensUal music and her warm, gentle but firm and encouraging guidance that has helped me to feel completely relaxed.

Given the right non-judgmental environment, my SensUal Goddess feels at ease to reveal herself. All the little details in the atmosphere has made a great difference in my sensUal journey.

Gratefully, the intimate setting in SensUal Joy always makes me feel extremely pampered and secure. Safe to express and to be myself.

Love Program

10. I Am Proud To Say I Now Have A Stronger, More Fit And Even More Fabulous Body!

I attribute this to the natural strengthening and aerobic/cardiovascular exercise that pole dancing has given me ranging from the pole slides to the pole swings.

Pole dancing may look easy, but it is not for wimps. It takes energy to pull it off and to look great while at it. But it is so much fun at the same time too!

Love Program

To Sum It All Up

Pole dancing at SensUal Joy has been FUN; has brought me more CONFIDENCE, more JOY, more INNER PEACE, more HAPPINESS.

Each time I pole dance, I am reminded of the importance of trusting myself, letting go, being persistent, being comfortable and proud of my own sensUality and sexUality and to slow down.

Even more importantly, through pole dancing, I have realized that I already possess ALL these qualities. I am now better acquainted with my body through feel, touch and instinct. My body is also stronger and looking more fabulous than ever.

Love Program

Conclusion

SensUal Joy has become a SANCTUARY for me, a sacred space where my inner Goddess feels welcome, safe and ready to reveal herself. Whenever I pole dance at SensUal Joy, my inner Goddess comes out to play, have fun, celebrate and enjoy life!

Do yourself a favor and sign yourself up for classes too!

Lots of Love,

Shuling

Pole Dancing, even Paris Hilton says yeah!

http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celeb_news/Paris_Hilton_shows_off_her_pole_dancing_moves_article_155673.html

I found this article rather amusing. Apparently even our infamous hotel heiress finds it very difficult to keep her hands off the pole. However, for her it is obviously an act of ego. She wanted the attention and the suggestiveness that pole dancing tends to associated with in most people’s minds.

Love Program

She couldn’t have been more accurate in her statement of pole dancing as an excellent form of fitness exercise. I was not there when she did her thing hence I am unable to comment on her inclusion of the “Me touching my breast” in her act.

Love Program

A lot would depends on HOW she went about doing it. In general just reading about it, it seems very uncalled for to me.

Love Program

Oh well, everyone have different motivations when it comes to why they pole dance. I don’t really care. So long as I know why i always swirl around my favourite poles…

The Last of SensUal 2007

SensUal Joy

==================

I don’t know about you, but when I looked back at year 2007, my heart overflows with gratitude.

There is so much to be thankful for.

• The vision I worked hard at,
  
• the acknowledgments my clients very loving bestowed on me,
  
• the support you have given me,
  
• my body that has miraculously held together in spite of my mad schedule and
  
• among the endless list, the love my family gave to me.

Love Program

As legendary famous for (humor me lah!), work consumes my every waking and yes, non-waking hours. It has been real fun daydreaming of concepts. I love it when inspiration hits and you get a fabulous and/wacko idea such as The MAN EATER Program. Yeah baby!

Love Program

There are moments of despair when paranoia overwhelms you and you question about your own beliefs and vision. That’s when the loved ones get hits the most I guess. They probably roll their eyes and go “There the diva goes cuckoo again.” Haha! Anyway, to set the record straight, my loved ones are really sweet to me always, although I’m sure they will prefer if I go more cuckoo-less. keke.

As a Private SensUal Coach, I’m telling you, I loved these one-to-one interactions with my clients. We have become fast friends and many will confide in me with issues that they have to grapple with.

If you ever enter the studio and there is something new, probably inspired by the client who came before you. *smile*

Love Program

Blogging

Blogging took up so much of my time it has caught me off guard! I would never imagine that I had to go from one blog and multiple it by five to satisfy everyone’s interest and needs! Still, I have to admit that it grows on you.

Love Program

It is indeed a wonderful tool for any cause that is worthy generating attention for. Just to blog a decent entry takes up much time. From the title, the research, the content, the pictures, the editing, the final checks, the little details, it IS a full time affair!

Media

Interviews and more interviews. There is always all sorts of requests going on and it is a pleasure to accommodate. Although sometimes it can be painful when you have to juggle that with real work and commercial commitments. Still, it is nice to be able to contribute your insights into a well-thought out article. And always a compliment to receive a friendly call from the press.

Love Program

Commercial Projects

Commercial projects are pretty ad-hoc and I’m careful to select those that goes along well with what we do. We had the privilege to work with FHM for two consecutive years, Girl Next Door 06 and SuperBad Girls 07.

Love Program

Many of these girls have since been our clients, dancers &/ close friends of the studio. Of course, we also have the Model Hunt 2008 that we are sponsoring to look forward to.

Love Program

Competitions

Joining the Arts Central/Artlander competition is something that is very close to my heart. It has been my desire to create more awareness of the beauty of art fusion and dance drawings is one such excellent example. It has since garnered much attention. Your VOTES are very much required and I urged you to support and to be a part of this cause. My many sincere thanks in advance.

Love Program

Overseas Trips

There were many trips overseas too to run away from the studio and the country. Hongkong, Macau, Tokyo, Thailand, KL, Bali and god knows where! All really necessary just to clear my head and take a breather from the madness. Some of the trips were sprinkled with work, visiting studios, strip clubs, pole dance clubs and so on. It has been quite an eye-opening journey.

Love Program

Family

So you see, it has been a wonderful 2007 for me peppered with sad episodes to make me stronger such as the passing of my grandfather. With me ramblings about work you would imagine that that is why I feel that 2007 has been awesome. The irony of it all is that although I had grown so much through my work, it is still family that outshines work.

Love Program

Reflections

As I grow more mature and develop a surer sense of who I am, there is a lesser need for me to justify myself or even to prove a point with my work. Without that internal pressure, your mind seems clearer and you realize really simple truths about life. As cliche as it sounds, home is truly where the heart is. I see my parents growing old before my eyes. And my sisters growing up without me.

Love Program

That’s when you realized all the glory in the world will never be enough. All one really need is a loving family who is with you and for you as you are with and for them. Interestingly enough, it is that love that spurs me to want to bring my work to new heights for the year 2008 and to make even more difference to the lives of women all over the world.

Love Program

Love from family overflows. And perhaps you can love others more through your work now.

Welcome home Joy.

Goodbye SensUal 2007.

Hello Sexy 2008.

Meow!
