Studio classes or purely Veena?
-
I started with pole DVD's and youtube, then used Veena's lessons. Eventually I started driving two hours to las vegas to take studio classes. I think it's always good to experience different (good) instructors. I love veena's lessons, and I also loved the studio experience.

Try to stretch often. I started out stretching for a year 4-5 times a week for 30 minutes- aim was to get floor splits, I can send you a chart of what I did if you like, if worked well.. Then I got Alethea Austins DVDs and use them 3-4 times weekly.
I poled once a week for many months, then saved and bought my own pole and then did two pole sessions a week- one at home, one in class. Worked up to 3-4 sessions a week.
Lately I've been in a massive slump, but I still go into my pole room 3 or so times a day, and do a V invert 2-4 times each side. Even it's just whilst waiting for my toast to pop, I always do some v-inverts daily, as well as one climb (two to three optimal) to the top of the pole. Even these little daily efforts, I find make a huge difference. -
OH oh oh! Posted too soon, I'm SUPER keen and saving hard to get Veena lessons! I need plain and simple breakdowns for teaching, (dancing does NOT come naturally to me!!!! And as far as I'm aware, Veena breaks it down SO well!!! I need/want that!)

I do both right now, but I only attend studio classes a few times a month. I am lucky enough to live in an area with many pole classes, but my busy schedule just doesn't work with pole classes.
At first, I did not see the point of taking studio classes if you have your own pole at home. I learned purely on Veena's lessons, but I began reaching a point where I needed an instructor to spot me and give me feedback. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Veena's lessons. I bought the $99 for a year membership, which is a STEAL. You get lessons from beginner to advanced, along with stretching and conditioning?!! I don't use the hoop or lap dance but those are included too. The year long membership is the best deal and saving up for it is not as bad as you think. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Of course, it is personal choice.. I do think if you are not in the greatest shape, home poling may be more difficult. Sometimes, live instruction is necessary if things don't "click" right away and there is a motivation factor if someone else can see your progress.
