Are you only trying to follow the Take off program or lesson order? Have you checked out the routines section there are I think roughly 12 small beginner combos that do not require any inverts, you’ll also find ideas in the Quick lesson section. I feel that freestyle is so important to my dancing and there’s no reason you can’t freestyle while using the lessons. Good luck!

Depends on what you mean by light poling. Pregnancy isn’t the best time to start something you’re body is unfamiliar with, continuing while pregnant is different, yet for myself I did alter how and what I did as pregnancy progressed.
There are several threads here if you do a search, also you might want to check out the Veena Method curriculum I have created as it talked about poling and pregnancy. https://www.studioveena.com/methods/letter

It’s really important if you’re very tight to use the options either shown or written to make a stretch less intense. There is no reason to expect your stretches to look like mine or anyone else for that matter. 🙂

Along with this challenge I’ll be posting roughly 14 new Quick Lessons as well. 🙂

I’ve toyed with the idea, however, I don’t belive there should be an expectation as to when to invert and such, so moving past beginner moves is challenging in that respect. The Take off program teaches the absolute fundamentals and moving past that point is such a personal thing.
There may be an option for me to do programs/routines to help one achive things like inverts and such.

In the lessons I give you some tips on diet for both strength and flexibility! One of the easiest things you can do is eat colorful meals that include lots of veggies. Remember that REST is equally important to growth both in strength and flexibility so don’t skimp on that.

How well you can do something doesn’t factor into winning at all. It’s random so the more you do and share the better.

Yep text, notes on phone, or videos all work. If you want to write stuff down you can try using the blog section here too, it can be done from your phone so it makes it pretty accessible.

Thanks, I’ll look into it!

45s are great and I would suggest that diameter. Yes, thinner poles can bow but that doesn’t mean they are ruined or dangerous! As long as the pole isn’t crazy warped and all other parts are in working order a bit of a curve is ok. My brass is a 40 and has a bit of bowing.

Video please, not sure what it is. 😊

Because rest is important I would try adding some extra conditioning work into whatever pole time you have.
I know you don’t want to do weights but this video has some great stuff you can do with either weights or instead use resistance bands like these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/7245456313?redirect=true&ref_=s9_simh_gw_p200_d1_i1. You will need an exercise ball too.
Here is the video with 30 exercises for the whole body https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/52f90381-4458-4123-99e5-41150a9aa0eb
Here are some more strength based options I’ve shared on FB. There are more in the lessons too, if you’re ever in a place to use them.
