I second all that has been suggested! Here are my two cents: When stretching your hip flexors, try to start from a 90 degree lunge, tuck your hip, squeeze the back leg glute and start pushing...more

We’re all different and it’s quite normal to “lose” a move. I used to be able to do all the handsprings quite easily. Now it’s become a mindscrew because I don’t train them regularly...more

Throwing a chiffon scarf maybe? They float down beautifully. Tuck in shirts or bra, they scrunch up to matchbox size ...more

I can log into the app from my iPad. Does anyone else have this issue?...more

Yeah I get that, but if you put the flying pole up without a swivel, it won't spin round as such (maybe half a turn in each direction), but the bottom isn't attached and can move- does this make...more

Who is this ignorant mo-fo? Maybe he wants some more...ahem... “attention”?...more

Pilates/body weight type exercises! For example, some of Veena's strength routines are only 10 mins long, try those out? Or play around with different exercises, and rep depending on how much...more

Tax season is upon us.... Ain’t that the pits?! Don't stress, instead join my 14 day challenge! I've got 4 sponsors giving away epic prizes! So without further ado, the Studioveena.com April...more

maybe I should try Lupit Grip then... I had seen it but wasn't quite sure what it was hehe. Definitely looks like a nifty little product :P...more

Ooooh ok. I sometimes become obsessed and go too hard with things. Maybe I should back off a day and i like what you said about the DEEP lunge twist! Thank you!!...more

Thanks guys...next session will have to have a floorwork focus then! I get lazy practising floorwork partly because my ceiling seems instable so I train on an Xstage, so I only have a metre around...more

Also stretch the front of the foot. I like to stay in a lunge, but instead of flexing the back foot, I point it. That will give you a good stretch. ...more

Yeah, if you can't come up with something, wearing them for photos would work 😁...more

@TrixieLovett That’s awesome, thank you for the response. I am glad you got the surgery and able to clean anything up. I know the mental aspect of it will be a challenge, the thing I fear most are...more

This made my day!!!!! I love that I can reach so many by having lessons online, but I miss out on the in person happy moments! Thank you for taking the time to let me in on your journey...more

Thanks Veena! I think it might be placement of the pole, which is being caused by me not pulling enough with the hamstrings. I tried again last night and had great success. I paid really close...more

Thanks for the tips Veena. :) I will do some googling!...more

I ended up doing pole instead of lollipop (studio issues) and had a great time. My thighs were burning afterwards! I managed a couple of spins and some seat holds, nothing too fancy yet but thankfully...more

Hi guys Hoping to get some input on my entry to Pole Theatre Drama. My entry has been accepted (yay!) but my studio manager doesn't think my concept is 'strong enough'. She has seen my show live...more

I have the new chrome X Pole from the official Canadian site, it was shinny and very brand new looking. no dust, fingerprints, or anything close to how your pole looks.. as Veena said I also do...more

Oh boy, I didn't know it was a bruise, yeah don't foam roll until that's gone!...more

Great!! 😄...more

Mystical, some phones work better than others with those type of accessories. There should be information online regarding your phone and how it works with an HDMI adapter....more

Thanks! I'm looking forward to starting it then. ...more

Nope that's right! It's mostly about building upper body strength. Once you become stronger you can do abdominal work while using pole hold. For now just keep at it....more

I do not believe that Android Device can mirror its screen to a firestick. Last I was aware the firestick was a bit finicky about casting....more

Depends on if you still feel a bit sick..if so start over because it will be a gentle way to work back up to more activity. If you're feeling pretty good now go ahead and start back where you left...more

Thanks. Yes I purchased on the app. I didn't know about the website until after but it makes sense now. I'll just have to use my phone then but would have liked access to both. ...more

*would clip on *anything* not "nothing". Hazards of multitasking with 7 kids underfoot asking me a million questions rapid fire about a million different random topics like I've been unwillingly...more

Thank u!...more

Thanks everyone!...more

Does anyone have one of the A-Frame rigs from x-pole they are looking to get rid of? ...more

Did the tape make ur pole feel warmer by any chance?...more

Born in Michigan, then lived in Boston, New Jersey, Boston again, and now Chicago for nearly a decade (!)....more

Thanks, I might try the flow program soon to....more

They went out of business but I'm not sure why. I'd be interested to hear....more

I tried my pole in a space 2m (roughly 6 ft 8" I reckon). Theoretically the height was ok, except that on one side the ceiling sloped down, so I hit my head a few times... and climbing from kneeling...more

Hello everyone! Which insurance you have/recommend for pole studios? Mine is located in CA. I appreciate any information. I'm checking some of them online but couldn't make sure. Thanks!!...more

Thank you so much everyone for replying and pointing me to the right direction. Much appreciated!!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️...more
