I tried the jacknife for the first time this week. I first half handspring into and extended butterfly, split gripped then into an ayasha then into a jackknife. But I couldn’t hold my balance in the jackknife and flipped down almost twisting my arms. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif,

Aussie sexy climb was taught to me by an instructor who trained with felix in australia for a year. Left leg goes up high on the pole bend like starting a basic climb. Then pull up with both arms, right leg kicks back straight then bend and then sweep forward to the front, straight leg and pointed toes. Repeat same climbing motion . Left leg always bend ,right leg always straight and pointed , sweeping as far back to as far forward you can go.The grip is between the thigh for the sit hold. It looks very sexy and clean looking climb. I’m trying to download my 1st vid but having some technical difficulties. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif But I do the Aussie sexy climb and spinning side climb in it although my pole is only 8 feet. It looks prettier on the 11 foot pole at my studio. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hi, so I redownloaded my first vid again last night and it went in upright. I could see it in my profile and the sideway vid was gone in my profile. But this morning even the upright one was gone. What happened to it? Thanks
-
Does anybody know what format of video to send in to download to this website? And how can we delete the first vid that is sideways so I can send it in properly? Thanks

You are halirious. Gave me a good laugh . But its understandable. We all love our pole. Its our closest friend at times. Always there when we need a me time. Helps us tone up and lose weight. Makes us feel great about our self.I would be lost without my pole. So , your in the right to freak out over your pole. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif

Sugardiva, You should order a pair of pole dancing glove to help with your grip. Mighty grip came out with 2 versions that are amazing.One is the super tacky grip which has a PVC type of material for a super tight grip for spinning pole as well as great for practicing advance moves that needs a very good grip like straight edge from cartwheel mounts. It helps strengthen your muscles with a tight grip while learning those moves. The second glove is for static poles giving a great grip while allowing you to still spin smoothly.It’s about $15.00 us at mighty grip.com. Take care of your wrist. Hope its better soon. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

I got my pole a little over 2 years ago. My twin boys were 7 and my eldest boy was 11. When they first saw it up in my bedroom they said "cooool coool a fireman post. They loved watching me do spin and all 3 can climbed it before me. My bedroom is the only place that had room to put up the pole. Now my eldest is 13 and me makes me close the door to our bedroom when his friends come over. He doesn’t climb on it anymore like my twins who still does. The other day, he was in my room when i showed him the superman fall from the top of the pole. He said ‘ Wow mom, you can be like a real stripper."I told him that there is nothing wrong with dancers,they work hard and make an honest living. I told him that i pole for fun,fitness and the art of it. I told him he knows I’m a peadiatric surgical nurse who loves to pole. He said his friends wouldn’t understand and would think badly of me. So I respect his decision and close the door to our bedroom when his friends are over.

Hi guys, so I finally learned how to exit out of the extended butterfly from going back into the crucifix https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Alot more graceful than dropping back down to the floor. And alot safer too since I sprained my baby toe before doing this. Now I would like to learn exiting using the flatline scorpio but i can’t seen to get it from watching the vids. Do I rebend my extended butterfly into a basic buterfly bending my hooked leg or grab the pole with my hooking leg at the knee pit then swing my free leg around into a gemini? Do I lower my lower arm down the pole or keep it extended at the same place https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif PLEASE HELP and THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Does anyone have an update on delivery of this dvd https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif I have sent several email with no respond which I think is so unprofessional. Angel can you facebook shaun again and ask her whats going on cuz we are all waiting. Thanks
-
Thats great pole- twista. What is a gemini climb https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif I know what a gemini is but whats the climb. Can you put a link to the vid of this move as I am always looking for new ways to climb.

Hi pp, the V sit against the wall is a great stretch for opening up the inner thighs. Start by putting your bum as close as possible against the wall. Then lye down looking up at the ceiling. Put both legs up straight against the wall open as wide as you can in a V position. Let gravity do its job. Slowly opening and widening more with your legs. Hold it for as long as you can. A friend of mine who is a yoga/pilate instructor said put a song on and hold this position for the entire song. Then 2 songs the second week and so on till you can watch an entire 30 min show on tv with this move. She said it really helps with getting into the splits faster.
It’s so hard to stretch today cuz I worked a 12 hr. shift at Sick kids hospital . I pretty much ran all day ,so there is my pre stretch warm up. Each time I go to the washroom, I try to do some bending and touching my toes stretches as well as other stretches i can do until someone bags on the door. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif -
Thanks guys for all the great help,vids and advice. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif As I embark on my cartwheel mount journey, I know I have you girls as my backbone for support. Since I am comfortable and efficient in my front half handspring into extended butterfly, I think I will start there to try and flick both legs up using the baseball grip on my upper dominant hand. When I’m successful with that, I will attempt kick back cartwheel mount. I really want to get into a straight edge from any flick up mount. This is my ultimate challenging goal. I will finally consider my self a great poler if I accomplish this. I fell in love with poling the first time I ever saw someone pole dancing at a club doing this move. It has taken me 2 years to actually get to the point of even thinking I could actually do this. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I got the superman and the superman fall in 3 days which gave me the confidence to think that I may be able to get the cartwheel into straight edge. THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif Wish me luck but please don’t say break a leg. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

I too have been doing daily stretches using stacy nemour splits and flexibility dvd for 30-45 min for about a month now. I went from 19 inches to 17 inches closer to the ground in my side splits. I measured myself against the wall. But the big difference I noticed is in my hamstring flexibility. When I did the chopper before, my legs would never straightened. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif It was always bend at knees because of my tight hamstrings. Now they are perfectly straight. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
My favourite daily stretch is down ward dog.
butterfly
V sit against the wall
1 leg straight behind and other leg bend in a square, sit then lean down into it. -
Thanks guys. But what is a flatline scorpio. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif Any vids that you know performing it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif Also, do I bend my lower arm at the elbow ,leave it straight or lower it straight down when returning it to the pole to do a scorpio. I tork/twecked a muscle on my lower arm middle muscle a month ago and it sometimes still hurt when ever I’m doing a split grip and put too much weight on it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif

2 weeks ago,at the end of a 2 hour pole class, I tried the knee hold and got it and was able to hold it for a long time.. It didn’t hurt at all when I was in the hold. My instructor said i found the sweet spot. Then I go home to show my husband and I couldn’t do it. I haven’t been able to do it since and again it hurts like a b—h. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif I think it was just a fluk.
