    If anyone has trouble viewing lessons then send an email to us so we know. Yes, the lessons should work on most mobile devices. There’s more than likely a reason it’s not working, but we can’t help you figure out why if we don’t know there’s a problem.

    As mentioned I’ve got a bunch of advanced lessons coming, one already posted 😉 New content is always posted at the top of the site, in email, fb, and twitter.

    My goal in creating content is to provide a structured guide along with offering plenty of content that allows everyone, regardless of level, to utilized most of the lessons. 💗

    Thank you all for the feed back. 🙂

    For those who’ve wanted advanced lessons they are on the way. I’ve already posted one last week, more to come, keep watching the site and FB so you don’t miss out on my announcements on this sort of thing in the future. 🙂

    As far as new content, every year I upload a lot of new content, there are now many routines, and combos, along with more new floor work and a few random things added last yr. I’m also often replacing older lessons with newer more up to date versions. The amount of time that goes into a single lesson is more then most would guess, because the lessons are always very thought out and planned, unlike free content on YT or other sites…. so it becomes time consuming. Loosing my dad had put me behind last yr, just as my sister’s passing did a few years back, this is not an excuse, but at times being the only one creating content is challenging! SV is funding through lesson sales, and running a website of this size isn’t free or even cheap!

    I feel I ask a reasonable amount for the content and knowledge you receive when purchasing the lessons. Thanks again everyone for your help and suggestions!

    Hi Desiree! There are many stretching in the lessons here for middle splits, I also have a full length routine for middles. Not everyone can achieve a perfect middle split so don’t be too hard on yourself if it doesn’t happen, you can always fake it or stick with other split variations! Here’s a video I made that can also be found in the “Veena’s Tips” section of the lessons here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Lv6af4pKQ8

    Any will do, but a higher density roller will last longest. 😊

    I don’t know the name but I think this is the same move? I enter into it from a cartwheel mount.

    Bummer! Well it’s not nearly as good as the lessons here, but I do have a section of Tutorials, tips and Demos on my YT account…most of them are on my SV profile too if you’d rather watch them on the site. 🙂

    It sounds like you just need some structure to follow. Maybe look for local studios who teach pole work in a progressive way, building up your strength. I also have the 30 day take off program that will do the same. Most things worth while are never super easy. 🙂

    You can use a spinning pole at any level 🙂 I do usually suggest learning new moves on a static pole. I like to teach static spins first as well, not because they are better, or easier, just because the mechanics of static spins are a bit more challenging to learn if you have only used a spinning pole.

    Lucca is right using a very skinny pole for spinny is helpful giving a more secure hand grip for most people. Here’s a video with tips for using spinny poles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0

    Why would you say you suck? Fear is something that will hold anyone back from learning anything and it’s not uncommon at all! Instead of saying to yourself I hope I don’t fall or I can never get this, this is hard, change your perception to….I can learn this I will do this. Write it down and read it out loud before pole practice. Do you have the lessons? If so you can pole climb once then repeat like I demonstrate, this will allow you to continuously climb without going higher. 💜

    It is not surprising that you find walking into spins gives you an easier time. A walk creates more momentum, so you can often just muscle through a spin, however it can increase your risk of injury! The concern with doing spins from a walk first would be if you don’t have the strength to hold your body weight. You should be able to do a pole hold and climb before you do walking static spins that are considered Intermediate. I know it doesn’t seem like a big deal until you find yourself with a wrist, elbow or shoulder injury.

    Living in an RV means my stage pole is below the RV, in a storage space, and all the rest are in a storage unit waiting for me!! Sometimes I can find space for my stage pole outside when we are staying at a campground. I REALLY miss dancing on a floor!!!

    Hmmm Shoogstandley, the camel is for the most part a mobility for the back/spine ‘stretch’, the reverse trunk twist is a strengthening exercise. You will have to ask for a stretch that he feels you can perform safely with your tendency to be hyper mobile. If you naturally overextend your back, then skip that part all together.

    Have you looked in to working on the posture portion of this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ3V_2DsxgE
