Day 16! ☔️ #svaprilabs – V invert. https://instagram.com/p/1gCbtvJAZI/

Here’s the lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cc828d1-78d8-419f-b83b-1c610ac37250
If you’re unable to perform a V invert, begin working on it from OFF the pole first as shown in the second clip. Use whichever option fits your level. Please avoid saying that you have “failed” when posting a variation…I’m sharing these to inspire and show that foundational moves are important and why proper grips and control is helpful if wanting to improve. It’s what the Veena Method is all about 💜 there is no FAIL, just different variations! You only fail if you don’t try at all!
If using these to build strength perform 1-3 sets of 2-12 reps BOTH sides

I’ve had one for months, so I could test it. I was waiting to talk about it until they told us it was available….never heard from them, but I see it posted to their IG today. 😏

[Veena]

I have one and it works.

[Veena]

Let us know if you figure anything out! 💜

[Veena]

I suggest understanding what you fear, and then working through it, if you can’t pin point it, it can be hard to overcome. I really recommend using the wall not the pole if you worry about falling over. Also baby steps, I see you have the lessons so use the first step I give you for elbowstands. Just walk the feet up and down, bringing the hips up over the head…..do this everytime you practice and BREATHE. Holding our breath can cause us to feel anxious so don’t forget to breathe.

[Veena]

Welcome!! The 30 day take off program is a great place to start, it will help you build a solid foundation. Once you have the basics down it will all come back! it may take time, but your body will remember. I also have a flexibility program, called 30 day to Flexy!

[Veena]

It’s very common, what is it that you fear specifically?

I have to use grip aid with my brass if I’m cold so I use the might grip and together 😊

[Veena]

Here they don’t have a 40 PC otherwise I would have done that. I don’t like the smell of brass! Lol

[Veena]

Yeah, I’ve only used it once and it was outside at the park while we were on our travels. The grip is nice but not as nice as the grip on the SV pole, I would still suggest it if you want a PC pole. I need an extension to use it in the new place and haven’t bothered to get one.

You don’t have to agree with instructors, but it’s polite to wait and discuss concerns privately after class. Your voice will be better heard if you don’t undermine the teacher in front of everyone.

[Veena]

If you are a new member you get 3 days free access to the lessons….after day 3 you will no longer be able to view them. Everything you see in the lesson section is included, I don’t charge extra for different levels or section. Does that make sense?😊

[Veena]

Robin, you can see what position the arm will be using side pole hold if you watch the link I posted 😊

[Veena]

Gary, height shouldn’t change arm placement, it sounds like you’re making a very common mistake and gripping too low?

This is how you grip for inverts Side Pole Hold https://www.studioveena.com/galleries/view/0a377ad0-85e2-11e1-adf5-12313d086a56.

You will find a a lot more help for inverts in the lessons. This video, includes 4 exercises every Poler should know, it’s also found in the Veena’s Tips lesson section, and may help clear things up! https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/52462459-db10-473f-ab4a-646d0ac37250

Day 11! ☔️ #svaprilabs – Leg Show! https://instagram.com/p/1TNUVkJARA/

Here’s the lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/532a5e85-bbb4-4b62-96b8-2f4d0a9aa0eb This floor move can also be a great workout! Be sure do move slowly, with control throughout the exercise. Try these with legs high or held low, holding high requires more hamstring flexibility! Do not let the low back arch.

If using this as a strength builder perform 1-3 sets of 6-30 reps total.

I’ve worn these cute @kupmykakez over my leggings too help keep my hips warm 💜 Follow her and myself using #svaprilabs and mention studioveena and kupmykakez for a chance to win a weekly giveaway!
