Maha Meets Up With: Vera

In celebration of the release of the ASICS UB9-S Gel-Kayano 20, footwear that promotes movement for the mind, we wanted to bring you along on the journey of an active lifestyle through our friend, Vera. She takes us through a day in her life from getting ready, showing us her daily routines, some of her personal mindsets and everything that she does to work towards a Sound Mind and Sound Body. For Vera, her physical and mental wellness go hand-in-hand in forming the best version of herself. As she has practiced pole-dancing for many years, a sport that requires balance and strength, this craft strengthens Vera’s body physically as well as mentally through rigorous training and the mental focus it requires to perform. 

Her performance in pole-dancing isn’t something that can be achieved in a singular day. It takes years of dedication and patience to get to the level of experience that Vera has reached. While it is no easy feat, Vera shares with us what drives her to continuously perform. 

INTRO
My name is Vera, I’m 22 years old, and I’ve been passionate about pole dancing for the last three years. What I find so compelling about it is that it doesn’t feel like a typical workout; it’s more like a passion. Going to the gym can get monotonous, but pole dancing lets me be creative and gives me a sense of freedom and enjoyment.

ABOUT
Pole dancing gives me a lot of satisfaction because I can clearly see my progress with each move. It’s really rewarding to keep improving and to try new challenges.

STYLING
When it comes to style, I like to experiment with bright colors, but I also love neutral shades like black or white, which make the shoes stand out. The Gel-Kayano 20, with its bright colors, goes well with any outfit I wear.

SMSB (Sound Mind, Sound Body)
For me, "sound mind, sound body" means that taking care of your body helps your mental health too. When I’m pole dancing, I feel connected to my body and the music. It’s a time when my mind relaxes, and I feel peaceful and calm.

OPINION
When I wear them while pole dancing, my movements feel more powerful, and the way my feet move around the pole looks even more graceful and noticeable.

PERSONAL
My goal is to keep refining my pole dancing skills. In early November, I’ll be attending a pole dance bootcamp to improve my techniques and learn new tricks.

STYLE & VISION
My personal style changes a lot. Some days I like a more casual, masculine look, and other days I prefer something more feminine and elegant. What I appreciate about the Kayano 20 is that they fit into any mood or style I choose.

END
Pole dancing makes me really happy, and the Gel-Kayano 20 shoes make the experience even more enjoyable, making every session feel more exciting.
