I don't know if I'll be able to go this year. 🙁 Going forward with the great energy and momentum of 2011's competition, I am positive that this will be a fantastc event! I will be so sad to miss it if I can't attend.

Sounds….challenging! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I like it!

This is wonderful to read!
For me I am most proud of the connections and friendships I've made this year with other polers and Veeners. I tend to be a bit introverted and not the most confident person, so I had to push myself a bit to overcome a fear of rejection I suppose. And now I am even poling with friends! 🙂 Pole has broken down a lot of barriers for me and it has illuminated quite a few I feel drawn to try to overcome.
As far as more tangible accomplishments–I got the shoulder mount and aerial invert! (in the same night and I cried…a bunch!)
For 2012 I want to focus on becoming much more balanced and sure of myself. I really really do not want to care about what others think or worry that people joke about me behind my back….easier said then done, but its gotta happen!

Hi Angie! I am in Hudson, WI, so I can't get to Knockout often, but I thought I'd just say that I love the studio and those tall 45's! 🙂

I just read this HotelChick and I wanted to say I am sorry you are going through this! Wishing you all the best!

Smart idea!

I love reading these!
A year ago things were pretty rocky and day to day as far as my families budget and health. So, I am most thankful for a much more secure situation and for my healthy family (a surgery free year for all of us!) I am so thankful for my friends and this site…Veena, you especially! AND I am thankful for dance and music in my life. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

My name FuzzyNavel–well in the states Fuzzy Navel is a cheap rail drink with orange juice and peach schnapps. One Karaoke night my friends suggested we all pick "drink names"…they went with girly drinks (margarita, champagne, martini). FuzzyNavel popped into my head and its stuck. But it is fitting–I am cheap and cheerful. 🙂

Onward and upward! Good for you knowing the time had come to go. Embrace the positives and leave the crap behind you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

You should contact webmaster directly about this…I know SV is viewable on IPad, so I am sure he can help you out. There is a "contact us" at the bottom of the page. Hope it gets sorted out for you!

I lost lots of weight with that workout–it is great!!!

Oh I love this post and I agree completely with what you have! I think jades look best viewed from the non-crotch side, and any bow/arrow, pencil, lunchbox moves make sure your face side is towards the audience so if you get a great arch in your back you can look down towards the floor and that isn't messed up by having a pole between you and your audience. I am interested to hear what others think the prettiest lines are for the butterfly variations? I lean towards the hooked leg/foot on the audience side of the pole.
I must say I have not mastered this in anyway for videos! I am so focused on what I am doing I go and watch the video and 9/10 my arse is facing the camera…drives me nuts! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

thanks for sharing!

I just wanted to say I have been very happy with my xpole on our very old ceiling in our victorian home. As long as you set it up properly, a drywall ceiling will be just fine…our ceiling is original 130yr old plaster and its been just fine! 🙂

A lot of great things said here already! I just wanted to say I'm in the same boat with you! Kids–3,6,8 and I really like to feel "alone" when I pole or I just can't really focus. This past summer was SO difficult and my pole practices suffered. Normally I practice at night when they are in bed, but I was so worn out. 🙁 Now that they are in school I have been able to schedule in an hour a few times a week to pole with my youngest at home. What has helped is: 1) Making notes for my practice–I'll jot down what I specifically want to work on…even what songs I want to use. 2) Keeping the set time to practice no matter how messy things are, etc. I can't get it ALL done, but I won't let it get in my way. 3) If I can't focus and clear my head enough to dance, I REALLY love committing to Veena's pole strength routine–its 20-25min in length and by the end you are warm for a bit of stretching or more pole. The kids can be in the room when I do the strength routine cause I have something to focus on (Veena) 🙂 Hope this helps!!!

The thing that really helped me secure this move was in Veena's lesson when she says to drop the back leg further down and that will cause your hip to secure you even more into the pole–AND really squeezing with that armpit. When you get it the rush you feel will nearly eliminate the pain…feels so good to nail those moves. 🙂

Stretching IS hard! I completely agree! Admittedly I am still near the beginning of my flexy journey, that being said, I have NEVER been this flexible and I feel it when I walk even. I think if I didn't have the flexibility routines on StudioVeena to keep my brain busy I wouldn't be able to stick with it as I plan to. Are you trying to get more flexible or just maintain at this point?

Congratulations! I felt SO lucky to have been there and see so many I have "met" on SV compete in what was such a positive and supportive competition. Loved the variety of strengths, styles, and abilities represented within each division. Well done everyone!
