Yvette Malherbe

This week Pole Play Corner would like to Welcome Yvette Malherbe.

 

 Yvette is a member of Vertical Vixen, Northriding in Gauteng, South Africa. She joined the studio 14 months ago when a friend finally managed to convince her to try out. Her main goal was to get her body back in shape after having her little boy.

Her studio instructor is one of her role model's in the industry. Julie Swart's before and after pictures are her big motivation.

Pole goals for 2014?

 "So many - but the aim is to be good enough to participate in the year end showcase"

Moves that motivate her to push a little harder are the inverted D, she also loves to perform her lean back.

"I work with numbers which is quite 'boring' however I have a very creative side. I used to love making bead jewellery and still do on the odd occasion, love being creative: sewing, photography, events and food-baking/cooking and seeing people enjoy what I make." 

Yvette can be found on Facebook and Twitter: Yvette Judo-Chop Mamalherbe and @Judo1Chop

Keep us up to date with any new achievements Yvette, best of luck with your goals.

 

Rose Kelleher

From my last blog, I extended the invite for all to send me a picture in exchange for my questionnaire.
First to reply was Rose Kelleher.

So my first week of feature will be for Rose.

"I’m at uni. Philosophy, French and Film are my favourite things to study. And I love pole doubles! Perhaps more than singles."
 
Rose is from Canberra in Australia , the pole fitness studio she attends is called FitSistas.

Her first pole dancing lesson was encourage by a friend who taught at a nearby studio. With no previous gymnastic or dance background she still gave pole a try. Additional Yoga classes have now been added to her fitness routine.
"It has made a huge difference"

She has now been involved in the pole fitness sport for around 2 years. Rose has suffered a few injuries on her journey leaving her off the pole around 6 months of these 2 years.

Her favourite moves include the eagle, the ragdoll and she also loves flips and drops.

The moves most fun to perform include the Oona spin, Janeiro and the shoulder mount flip. Her 2014 pole trick goal is the Eagle.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you Rose, I would also like to wish you luck for your year of training. Send us pictures of showcases and future events.
