    I’ve heard others who’ve had a similar complaint, I could contact xpole, if it doesn’t stop after taking it apart and putting it back up. My stage’s don’t do that but I don’t use them often. 🙂

    Hi Vanessa! Don’t stress about which finish you bought, there’s always a way to work about any grip issues! If you are not sweaty the TG should work well for you, I love mine, but I also like my brass because it’s a smaller diameter. If you find you do sweat, then come on back here and either do a search on what to use or just ask us.

    I’m so happy you’re enjoying the site! Remember that all lessons in each section are placed in a progressive order so just start by watching the first one and you’ll know how to proceed from there! EASY! I also have a 30 day take off program, included in the lessons, and it will take you through 30 days, focusing on building, strength, flexibility and technique needed to advance! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4KzMIIbZH0

    You’ll find way more than just pole also, I’d check out the Veena’s tips, and you’ll find other strength building exercise that don’t require any equipment in the Conditioning and Quick Lesson sections. 🙂

    Hi guess If you’re gripping with the knee pit correctly you shouldn’t even need more than the knee and above the hip to stay. Alway’s be sure the body and pole is warm and the hooked leg is pointing in the right direction. You can see a good explanation of this here https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cbdc217-f41c-407e-ba70-538d0ac37250. Let us know how it goes!

    I’m not planning on posting lessons on drops. They can tear loose skin 😁 I personally don’t do drops.

    Hi! You’ll find my lessons are not like any other website out there. If you’re looking for a program to follow try the 30 day take off program! I’ve placed everything in order helping you build the strength and technique you need. You’ll also see related lessons below the main player that when focused on, will help you achieve the main move. You also have the ability to ask my questions on any move and I’ll respond asap and you can always post a video here for feedback. 💜 A quality personal pole instructor shouldn’t be “cheap” or free so keep that in mind when looking. Instructors work very hard and help keep you safe and moving in the right direction and they deserve compensation. 😊

    Hi! I’m sorry to hear about your fall, and wish you a speedy recovery!

    I don’t sell dvd’s but the lessons on my website have many things that do not use the pole. You’ll find over 130 lessons that do not use a pole! I’ve got everything from flexibility training, conditioning, strength work, workout routines, chair dance and even hula hooping! Once you purchase the lessons you have access to EVERYTHING no bundles or separate packages to buy, every lesson I have you will have access too 🙂

    Are you asking for a lesson? Before moving on to doing a basic invert in heels practice from the balls of the feet. The goal is to not let the heels touch the floor. Here’s a video of myself doing a basic invert in heels at min 2:05 https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/551608f1-e1d8-4db9-8fd6-7d220a9aa0eb

    January 23, 2016 at 3:07 am in reply to: What’s this move called?

    I don’t have a specific name for it when using the pole for support, but it would not be a beginner move as Tropical mentioned. Here is a lesson that might help with the variation using the pole that you shared with us. Same concept but in your video the pole is used to help with stability. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/54a1a0f2-dec4-4fb9-9def-40760a9aa0eb

    This lesson also has some cool shoulder roll/stand combos in it. Sneaky V floor work https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5640bccd-2da0-49d0-981c-5411ac110089

    Don’t feel bad, others have had this happen too. You can totally work around grip issues by making sure you fully warm up! You’ll find several warm ups in the lessons and the basic warm will also warm the pole!! Both a warm body and warm pole will make for much better grip. Check your climbing technique too, if using boots you may not have learned how to make the most of your points of contact! This lesson can help https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/54c44c66-abbc-4646-ab78-7ef80a9aa0eb

    January 21, 2016 at 12:26 am in reply to: Spinny Poles

    If you watch closely you can see on a static pole the hand will travel down as you spin, on spinning pole they stay in place. You should be able to see what I’m talking about in this demo video. Static spins will not have nearly as many revolutions as spinning either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0

    This video shows a bunch of static spins, you can see how my hand travels down the pole. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9B-OQLIa-o

    You’ll see it the lessons too, where I teach both static and spin in the same lesson.

    January 20, 2016 at 3:40 pm in reply to: Hip flexor pain attempting apprentice/side V… help!

    I doubt you’re doing anything wrong, muscle soreness or tenderness from over doing it, can last for a while if we’ve been doing something our body isn’t use to! It will help to do some conditioning for the lower body. The Hip flexor life will help and the lower body strength routine https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52e9d171-5724-43b2-8784-47960a9aa0eb and the sexy legs and abs would also help too https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5444937f-b2f4-4995-bd1f-7c2d0a9aa0eb 😊 Try some foam roller as well to relieve and soreness!

    I have a scar from a carpet burn as a kid, but it was pretty bad. I’m guessing you’ll be fine. Give it time. 🙂
