    Of you were to compete then judges would be looking for flexibility. However if you are poling for fun then yes! As mentioned there will be some moves that are considered adv that you can not do but plenty more that do not require flexibility or splits.

    Maybe the number 30 stuck in your head because of the 30 day take off program that’s part of the lesson line up?

    When you learn on studioveena, you don’t have to feel like you’re learning alone 🙂 You will always have the support of the members and under every lesson you can ask me questions and I’ll get back to you ASAP with help. I do my best to break down everything so it’s very easy to follow. You get close ups of hand placements and slow motion multiple views and you can watch them on your iPad or phone.

    Also unlike YT everything is always placed in order and every move builds on the next. There are AKA names for each move in the descriptions. If you are working towards say, a Butterfly, you will find “related” lessons listed below the main Butterfly lesson, the related lessons below are not random, but rather lessons you should work on to build up to the lesson shown in the main player. So, if you wanna know what other things should I work on to be able to do the Butterfly, just look below and you’ll see.

    From what I’ve seen those who start on spin have a difficult time switching over to static. With static you need to learn timing with the swing and push leg to achieve the most momentum but on spin the technique is a bit different. I also suggest learning new pole moves on static first just so you don’t have to worry about spinning around while learning something new. One is not easier than the other they’re just different.

    July 16, 2014 at 9:04 pm in reply to: Postpartum poling

    Congratulations!!!! I totally understand feeling like you’re not yourself after baby. I remember my first pole session after my 4th and in my mind I could remember how to do everything, HOWEVER, my body was like no, I don’t think so. It’s like someone had removed my abdominal muscles. lol

    Good news it does come back and if you are careful and don’t push too hard for some it can come back fast… if you stayed in shape while pregnant. You will get back to where you were. Things to be aware of, if you had and abdominal separation avoid pole work and exercises that heavily use the rectus abdominis (six pack), so things like sit ups and such. Do some conditioning for the abs to help strengthen the whole core and close the separation.

    Here’s my after baby video.

    What they said. If something doesn’t feel right then speak up, you may have to go to the owner. Not all certifications are good and not all certified instructors know how to teach.

    I love my TG too, however I have the Brass 40 and I like it, my only issue is winter when it’s cold I need to use a bit of grip aid on my legs, then the grip is great! I want a Powder coated 40 someday!

    This video REALLY explains how I feel, I almost cried! I’m not just saying this because I own the joint but let me add that with SV I don’t feel disconnected, I’m not sure what it is, but I’ve always felt like I really get to know you guys on here. On FB I’ve always felt like it was a contest even among people who are my real friends to get them to see what I’m posting. Sometimes FB leaves me with questions did they see this post, do they care if I’m not posting, maybe they only like me for _____ reason? Why didn’t they “like” this photo, video, comment etc… I don’t know I may just be crazy. lol

    Here’s the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7dLU6fk9QY

    July 15, 2014 at 11:33 am in reply to: A lot on my mind

    We personally don’t seek out only organic, so I think that it’s more of a personal preference and I don’t feel it makes a difference for me in how I feel or how healthy I am. However I do love to use products with few ingredients but again they don’t have to be all natural. I have cut out dairy milk and feel sooooooooooo much better then before!

    Do you have a crockpot/slowcooker? We use ours a lot and there are some very simple and healthy recipes for crockpot cooking we only have the magazine but here is a book with the same recipes in it. I LOVE the Mediterranean Succotash! http://www.amazon.com/Cooking-Light-Slow-Cooker-Tonight-practically/dp/0848736575

    Cellulite is normal and there’s not magic way to change it, however a healthy diet and making sure you are hydrated can lessen the look of cellulite. I’m thin and have cellulite, in the sun and those lovely store dressing rooms it looks the worst. lol But it does look less noticeable if I drink water and eat well.

    For energy our bodies like to have a regular meal and snack time, this keep blood sugar level and energy up! I’ve also found that eating spinach, kale, and thinks of that nature, usually in juice form, helps with energy. I can tell when I don’t have my greens!!

    With both of your posts in mind, remember that life is about balance and balance doesn’t mean doing all things, everyday. Just like physical balance happens not be staying ridged and unmoving, but rather by making many slight adjustments, our lives too just like physical balance must include the ability to make many small adjustments. Learn to make choices about what’s important for that day, hour, minute. Somedays family may need you more, so workouts need to be shortened or skipped. If you pay attention to your surroundings you’ll know what to focus on and somehow things work out! xoxoxo
