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?😊
-
Robin, you can see what position the arm will be using side pole hold if you watch the link I posted 😊
-
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! â˜”ï¸ #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!

Day 10! â˜”ï¸ #svaprilabs – Basic Plank.
http://instagram.com/p/1QrKgNpAe1/Here’s the lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/546b9feb-5760-435d-8a4d-456b0a9aa0eb
Feel free to place a hand below if this helps you feel more secure, do not release the TOP hand, this is advanced. 😉If you have a long torso and short arms this one can be tricky.
You will need a strong contraction of the abdominals to help stabilize… if using this as a strength builder perform 1 set of 1-10 Doing more than 10 in a row can cause excessive pole burn on the thighs!! 🔥 Work BOTH sides for a total of 10…5 each side.

Welcome! Using Youtube to teach yourself can be frustrating because what some people consider beginner is truly not! So you might feel hopeless because you’re trying to do things that you’re not ready for. If you’d like to learn at home the lessons here are perfect. I would say check out the 30 day take off program, this will help you build strength and flexibility. 💜

You can jump in anytime to play!

Swirly, If you haven’t had a chance yet to look at the spin lessons here, you’ll see I don’t use right and left, it’s confusing I think! Always try and train on BOTH sides, it’s really important to work both sides if pole is your only exercise. Otherwise you’ll have one big arm and you can end up with pains that come from muscle imbalance.

Let me know if you have any more questions! I can see by your star, you have had the lessons before, I’ve recently added some new sections Quick Lessons and Veena’s Tips along with the 30 days to flexy that you might want to check out! 🙂
-
There are no Challenges in the lessons. I do have a 30 take off program for pole, and a new 30 days to Flexy, a flexibility program in the lesson line up. When you sign up for lessons you have access to everything, programs, routines and all. Anything that is a “challenge” is free and posted publicly here and on my social media.
New members get 3 days of lesson access, you can also use the code GET3FREE anytime, but only once.

Day 9! â˜”ï¸ #svaprilabs – Scissor Climb! http://instagram.com/p/1OH6vypAXK/
It’s a new week, and another chance to win! Here’s the lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/546b9c50-8074-489c-8c7f-359a0a9aa0eb
Keep in mind this is tough! Use the second variation to prep for the full climb, and the last if your new to pole. Keep the shoulders down before lifting and contract the abs, exhaling on the lift.
If using this as a strength builder, perform 1-3 sets of 2-10 reps. You may have to slide down the pole to continue reps if the pole is short!

I totally love my Gopro and use it indoors with no troubles. I know there are different kinds of GPs so the need for great light might be one of the older models or ones that are best for outside. I love mine! It’s a GoPro Hero 4, it’s the BEST solution if you dance in a small space and want to capture more of your room. 🙂

Day 8! â˜”ï¸ #svaprilabs – Tuck Invert! http://instagram.com/p/1LeSrHpAfY/
Please check out the lesson for great tips https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cbc4b23-b534-4d1a-9978-3b990ac37250
You’ll see 3 options here, the first being beginner prep, knee tucks. Next, Tuck invert grabbing the pole with the legs sliding down to exit. Followed by the most challenging, tuck invert, with a CONTROLLED tuck exit back to the floor. I wanna see good form, no jerking down to exit 😉
If using these for strength building perform 1-2 sets 5-12 reps EACH side.
