Yep I got that one this morning or yesterday morning too, I forget which day. I always delete them, I get spammy yt emails often and I haven’t seen any that look worth while.

How was it? 🙂

I’m sad that one if my hoops has never light up properly and the company never did anything about it. I think you idea is a good option too!
-
I have 2 LED hoops, they are a lot of fun, however the ones I have are challenging to work with because of the battery. It’s like hooping with a small weight on one side and it throws some hand hooping and off body hooping off balance. Also the hoops are slick and even though I sanded down the inside they still slip a lot on clothing and my hands if they’re cold.

I have to work my way back on to spinny if I’ve stopped using it. Here are some tips I use.
-Stay with Upright moves for the first few sessions on spin so avoid inverting right away
-Change direction, switching the direction you spin can help equalize fluid in the ear
-Avoid heavy meals or over eating before spin (of course right! lol)
-Keep your spin sessions short and work up to longer times on the pole
-After coming down from spinning look directly at the pole, this will split your line of sight and can help stop the spinning.This video has tips for spin mode too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0

It’s actually very good if you have access to different sizes, 😊
-
How flexible you are has nothing to do with leg length, however looks can be deceiving, because anyone can learn to create nice lines and this causes an illusion of flexibility when done right. 🙂

As long as your working both sides when you pole added strength training outside of pole work isn’t necessary if your poling for fun or fitness. If you are working towards very advanced level moves are feel you are stuck and no progressing then lifting or doing strength training off the pole can help.
Here is a video with 30 off the pole exercises that are great for pole! https://www.studioveena.com/messages
You can also find this video in the Veena’s Tips section of the lessons. 🙂

I teach inverts as a two part process, first the upper body placement then add a step and sweep of the leg. Honestly using zero momentum is very hard on the upper body and most students can’t do this with out feeling too much strain on the upper back. Kicking in not good because of the force that’s behind it and usually the upper body placement is not correct when kicking is involved because the goal is, just get up there!
I feel slight momentum using a step and sweep of the outside leg should be taught first along with a strong understanding of a Side Pole Hold. If you’re side pole hold is solid it will save you from banging into the pole and jerking when lifting and sweeping the leg.
Dead lifting is HARD and those new to inverts should not be expected to invert that way.
-
Sieira, the exercises shown in this video are very important, and can help prevent pain and injury. Also, I cover how to use a Side Pole Hold to invert properly preventing strain on your back.

We have so many there isn’t one place to find them all, but if you type in the month and a year with the term ‘challenge’ you should be able to see them all. Here’s what I found when I typed in May 2011 Challenge https://www.studioveena.com/searches/index?s=May+2011+challenge

Aww bummer Saph!

Don’t buy a finish because you want to perform or get use to poor grip! When you perform or compete if your smart, you’ll use a grip aid that will allow you to stick to the poles they use. Buy a home pole you are comfortable using!!!!!!
-
If you have skin on the dry side the grippiest finish is best. Avoid chrome, SS may work for you if it’s well broken in. TG, and powder coated would be a good option. I have normal to dry skin and my brass is great IF I can keep my body temp high so I’m almost sweaty, otherwise I need to use grip aids to stick with my legs on brass.

There are people where it comes from the knee, but that’s not the desired method of course.
-
Yes, turn out is suppose to come from the hip, not the knee or ankle. 🙂
-
Have you contacted Lil mynx about your problem Oak? I don’t have that issue with mine at all.
-
Yes the other mount shown is the xpole vaulted mount 😊

Oh dear, I hope you can work it out without needed surgery! Wishing you healing!! 💜
