I hope he feels better soon!

[Veena]

Oh wow! I would not use that pole anymore!!! Be careful. The xstage is a great pole and will not come apart at the base. It’s good you’re ok! 💜

Day 16! Tush Push 🍑✋ http://instagram.com/p/x5f3srJAYa/ doing my best to not get carpet burn!!! The slower you go, and the deeper the back bend, the sexier this is. 🙈

Hi Nusa! Congrats on your baby!

Every woman recovers differently and every birth will differ too! If you were able to maintain a high level of fitness when pregnant chances are getting back into working out will be easier. If you are like most moms working out wasn’t a priority and getting back into working out or pole dance will require TIME!. I’ve had 4 kids and was back in the gym within 2 weeks. I had normal healthy pregnancies and births. I also workout during all pregnancies.

While it’s not always dangerous for everyone to invert after baby, you will find the body and mind might remember how, but physically being ready is another thing! First you want to talk with your midwife or DR and see when they suggest you are ready to workout. With out knowing what your pregnancy and delivery was like it’s hard to say exactly what you should do.

Here’s some general info….Once cleared for exercise, one of the best things you can do is begin working on posture. There are many exercises you do against a wall to strength the abdominals. DO NOT do sit ups, or crunches yet, this is very important if you have had abdominal separation. This site has some great info for safe effective ab work. http://www.befitmom.com/diastasis_recti.html If you plan on taking the lessons here The Switch is a great exercise.

You will need to start from the beginning with pole, but don’t let that discourage you! If you take the time to condition you will avoid injury and it may come back faster than you think! As far as getting back into pole, the 30 day take off program would be suitable for you to start once your midwife/dr gives the ok to workout. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view_category/30-day-take-off

I have not had issues…yet! Any thing where you are repetitively performing tasks with the hands like gripping, typing, using scissors, chopping food, could cause tendonitis.

First rest before you try the list below, and see a DR if it doesn’t feel better after taking a break.

Here are things I do to prevent tendonitis and such:
Limit using these grips to no more than 2 times per week and no more than 10 times per session. This can increase as strength improves and the body adjusts to the level of work your asking it to do. If someone is an off and on pole dancer it’s really important not to over do the split and true grips.

Stretch forearms REALLY well after every pole session

Switch to a smaller diameter pole, I notice a difference in how my wrists feel if I use a 50mm. I like 45 or 40.

I find cup grip tweaks the wrist more than true, depending on what move I’m using it for. So I change it out for whichever feels best.

Keep up with conditioning exercises for the wrists and forearms.

I hope you figure it out!

I like this combo too http://instagram.com/p/kzpugfpAcK/?modal=true

[Veena]

There are some neat combi’s that use these mounts along with Ayesha’s in the quick lesson section!

[Veena]

Well don’t just thank me! It was Tropicals idea and several members helped decide on the moves for this month. They all got the ball rollin! Allyson made the creative to share! I’m enjoying it too!

[Veena]

Marie Hale, beautifuly said and I can relate to your story so much. Xoxox

[Veena]

Yes it’s part of the lessons. Just go to the lessons section and it will be one of the categories.

Day 12! Slink up! 〰🆙 http://instagram.com/p/xxoZYcpAYr/

Depending on how fast, slow or sharp you make this it can look sexy, flirty or modern. Play around and make it your own here’s the lesson for it. 💜 https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/532282af-dfb4-44d6-90c5-65030a9aa0eb

Hi amy! Welcome! I have a really great program for new dancers, you don’t need any experience and no back ground in dance or fitness is required. It’s the 30 day take off program! For 30 days I tell you exactly what to work on, we do conditioning, stretching, strengthening, pole work and I give you tips each day as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4KzMIIbZH0

Everyone here is super helpful and kind.

Day 12! Pole Hold!! 📞http://instagram.com/p/xvRv9nJAZ6/

Pole holds, like the pole sit are a fundamental part of pole dance. When done properly they protect the shoulders and back and build strength! They are also used as transitions into other holds or leg grips. Here is my newly updated Pole Hold lesson. 💜https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/54921dfb-d4f0-474e-b098-238d0a9aa0eb

Iani Ancilla, don’t stress over it too much! Feel free to make a few recording by grouping a weeks worth together 💜

Day 11! Back Hook ⚓️ on static http://instagram.com/p/xssiDbpAT2/

I really love this spin! If you have troubles with this one check out the lesson. I’ll break the spin down starting with static from standing then we work up to the pivot, last you’ll see the spinning pole variation 💜 https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/51a0e56e-6920-4ee0-a931-53d80ac37250

[Veena]

This is wonderful!!!! Great idea! 💡

[Veena]

Day 10! Ankle attitude spin 😎 on static! http://instagram.com/p/xqLlZxpAcu/ If you would like to make this spin more challenging keep the ankle off the pole allowing the legs to float in attitude! Keep in mind this is an advanced beginner move so if you are new to pole it may take time to build up the proper strength to safely perform this spin.

If you would like to see the lesson and learn both the static and spinning pole variations here it is https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4fb516b6-6bac-4756-a32b-1e110ac37250

Lil mynx is great!! Glad they could help you out!!⭐️

[Veena]

I would contact lil mynx asap, never had an issue with my vaulted mount. Is part of your mount plastic? Mine was all metal.

[Veena]

X ankle climb and performance climb both look nice and save energy. Thigh gap has nothing to to with climbing, because you don’t use the upper thighs to climb at all….. if you have grip issues be sure that both you and your pole are very warm. If you still can’t grip then it could be an issue with the finish of your pole not working well with your skin and climate. If that’s the case try some grip aids. 🙂

[Veena]

Yes, the lesson works fine just the link was messed up 😋

[Veena]

Yeah, it’s weird if she picked that song to lay over, could have been someone else to overplayed the music tho..

[Veena]

Being that she is listed as a public figure on FB I would guess stirring up some controversy was a good way for her to get some publicity for her website….

I’ve posted many poling vids with my kids, the only one that ever had people mad at me was this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by0zMep9HsE Where at min 1:50 one of my kids blocks the camera…I got some nice hate for that.

Otherwise people (for the most part) seem to enjoy any vid I post with my kids like the Rock Lobster video. I guess I wouldn’t choose to dance to a song that talks about putting hands on bodies and dropping clothes to the floor. LOL…. and then post it publicly tho, but that’s just me. 😛

That’s why many dancers use to wear boots! Makes climbing a breeze, however if you only use the sock you will not build up the strength you need. To build strength for climbs make sure you doing, Pole Holds, Pole Rows, Forward and back scapula, pole squats, Wide rows and things of that nature. Here is the lesson for the Basic Pole Climb https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/233115a0-b889-11df-856f-001b214581be Keep in mind this is a strength building climb. There are other climbs you can use when performing or dancing that take less energy and they look pretty too.
