    It does take more strength to hold a Marley without pulling on the foot, so give yourself some time. If you take a look below the main lesson player, you’ll find ‘related’ lessons below. Working on these lessons will help you build up the strength and flexibility needed for the lesson shown on the main player. 🙂

    I don’t follow anything that shares the newest tricks so I can’t tell you whats hot.

    If you are just looking for new ideas that do not require contortion level flexibility, I do post often to our SV, FB page and my Instagram account with my variations on things. Many of the clips are on my profile here as well.

    As a lesson subscriber, have you tried using the 30 day take off program? If you are not a new dancer this program can still be used by a more advanced dancer. You would just replace any of the pole work for more advanced pole work, then you would have a daily outline to follow.

    Cross at the ankles instead and make sure you’re tipping one hip down towards the floor.

    Robin, if you are new to planks start with arms straight, when this becomes easier then place the elbows on the floor. They are both correct 😉

    This video is about creating a routine, but by practicing the tips given you’ll start to understand how to put it to use for freestyle work too! I know when I freestyle I’ll gravitate towards using moves I’ve been working recently. The best thing you can do is practice doing freestyles!! 😊 https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/52a09793-a94c-4545-9789-78b10a9aa0eb

    Yes as she said, there are many videos where it’s just clips of moves or even just a few seconds of working on a move. Posting is a great way to track your progress as well.

    There should not be tons of pressure on the bottom arm! If there is your not engaging the muscles correctly, the top arm is doing the majority of the work. This is why using the partial split grip can help, because you can also strongly engage the bicep to help you out!

    If you have the lessons you’ll find SG alternatives for some spins I try to show you a few options 😊 For pole moves try using the partial split grip, this uses the bicep more. https://www.studioveena.com/galleries/view/4f875a2b-3224-4049-908f-3f900ac37250

    What they all said. Also try to remember to always stretch your forearms and hands after poling and work on strengthening them 3 times a week too. If you have the lessons you’ll find both stretches and conditioning work for the hands and forearms.

    Have you tried not using grip aids? I find when I use them I get serious calluses but it’s not nearly as bad without grip aid. Also when I use my brass pole I get bad calluses but not on my powder coated pole, so it could be the finish of the pole too?

    Are you working on anything from the ground like leg hangs and reverse handstands? Also try working on Ballerinas and their variations, just keep in mind these require shoulder, hip flexor flexibility and spinal mobility. I’m not sure if you have the lessons but there are a bunch of combos/mini routines to work on…. I believe 30 of them and none of them require an invert!

    I’m guessing someone here may know of a studio in that area. There’s also the option of using the lessons here. I have created them with a focus on beginners and everything is placed in order for you.
