Also, make sure you’ve got all the shipping gunk off your pole, I spent months wondering why I couldn’t grip even when warm only to realise it was still covered in a waxy coating!! Damn pole!

I agree with Chem here, work on it from the plank on the floor first, then once you get to doing it from up the pole, I find it easiest from a side climb, you can see my video here https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5079bd2c-9ab4-4daf-8045-38d10ac37250 you could forget the side climb at first and get into the 'bow and arrow' position at 00:07 from the floor and work on it from there, hope this helps x
This move is a little monkey, I still cant get it consistently on a 50mm only on a 45mm – annoying!

FYI: after reading this thread today, I thought, ill try dead lifting tonight, my word, I’ve got a long way to go!! 🙂
-
Now THAT is a dead lift Veena!!! Jealous. 🙂

Sorry I meant Zoey can ask not Lizzie (getting confused) x

Just looking at dates in April, as end of April is good for Hazel we are looking at 20/21st or 27/28th. I can’t do the 28th but otherwise I am free on all other 3 days. Lets narrow it down ladies so Lizzie can suggest dates to her studio on Monday x

My instructor has me try aerial SMs even though I can’t do it! We go from side climb to figure head then try to tuck. She said you can push off the pole with one foot but that just confuses me :-/

Would going round there and speaking to both Dad and girlfriend be an option? explain that you don’t understand your son’s behaviour and ask if his behaviour is similar whilst he is there? What they think might be causing it.
Your GP should not have blamed you like that for not going sooner, how were you to know it would continue and get worse? If the health visitor doesn’t help you go back and ask your GP again. Perhaps a referral to children’s mental health / counselling just to get to the bottom things? (I’m not saying your son is mentally ill but a mental health worker /counsellor has ways to get children to open up that a health visitor/parent might not)
I hope you get to the bottom of this Zoey x -
I hope I was doing some awesome pole tricks in your dream Scottish?? Haha!
-
Yes I will be there, friend too
-
That’s a good location, just off the m60 and m61 if I’m right? We had 3 hours last time and I would count all the ppl on this thread who said they would like to then add 1 (my mate vik who came last time) oh and in April, pref, the dates ppl have already said they can do as above. 🙂

I started yoga 2 weeks ago, tonight will be my 3rd session. I didn’t start it for inner peace stuff, I want the core and balance that yoga gets you oh and hope it will improve my gracilis flexibility 🙂 I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it but I actually really do! I feel SO relaxed afterwards and my joints feel like I have oiled them up. Plus you can see your flexibility improve throughout the poses. Cool or what? I don’t know what kind of yoga it is but at the moment it’s my fav kind 🙂
-
Oh no Lizzie that’s no good, maybe you we should try a different studio then, can you ask at yours Zoey? Where is it? X
-
No Debs it’s a floating ceiling and there’s no more support plates up. But there won’t be loads of us (restricted to Veeners in the first instance) and last time we shared 3 to a pole so we won’t go over that pp per pole 🙂
Peach, will you drive? If so there is a travel lodge in Burnley which might be pretty cheap? X -
Oh and just do you know they are all spinning 50mm poles no option for static I’m afraid. It will be £5 each same as last time. My instructor will warm us up first 🙂
-
Ok my studio have said YES. We only have 4 poles but loads of room / matts to practice head stands / floor work etc etc too. I have said April, as that seems the best for all, they just want dates and numbers so everyone put down their date preference here and I shall inform them 😀
There’s a great pub locally too where we could grab some grub afterwards, always thinking about my belly! -
Congrats Nich. Hope you can get back on the pole 🙂

I think it is sexy. The thing that might be making him think its stripperish is the suggestiveness I think, e.g. Touching your inner thigh, pulling on your shorts, hair flicking. All of these things are suggestive and very sexy. Things a stripper would probably do. BUT as has been said before, you’re not stripping so…..??!! And you’re wearing socks-not stripper style as farad I’m aware lol!
It’s an amazing start to your pole journey, you should be proud x -
I agree April will be best it gives ppl loads of notice and let’s everyone get their money back in order after Xmas spending!
Nich when are you over in the Uk? -
Ok ladies, I have asked my instructor, she is going to ask the owner. Ill let you know ASAP. X
-
Ooooooh I have NEVER danced in heels Raven. :-/ broken neck coming my way?!
-
I think April would be a good time Nich. 🙂 I am yet to ask my instructor so we will se what dates she throws at us x

All the Studio Veena members agree a date and studio where they will meet up together and pole. In other words ‘a jam’. We met up in Stockport last year in November and had a couple of hours poling together at BeckyBlush’s studio. We got to meet one another and share pole moves, tips, hints etc.
We said we would organise another one so this is the discussion thread to decide where and when 🙂 -
We just opened up a jam for all UK Veeners to come to
