    I would love to and could, but it’s just not economical, international orders would be looking at hundreds in shipping cost. 🙁

    Sadly I just realized the video I will be sharing off YT was blocked yrs ago (I had trouble with others flagging all of my videos when I started and this is from my OLD YT account) so the video is marked as inappropriate however, I can assure you its far from it! 🙁

    Bexboo do you have the lessons? There are stretches for the shoulders and back in the stretching section. If you want a stretch as in away to get between the shoulder bladed then doing the Reverse Bridge would feel nice. If you’re looking to improve back mobility (for ARCHING the back) then look at then begin by looking at the Cobra stretch lesson and go from there https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4de794f2-2bc4-4e78-938c-53a40ac37250 all lessons are in order so starting with that one will lead you into many more mobility lessons for the upper and lower back and shoulder! One of my favorite shoulder stretches is the up and over!

    March 23, 2014 at 10:18 am in reply to: Frustration of getting the invert

    Please don’t feel pressured to be inverting as quick as possible. Depending on a persons physical background some can invert day one, others may takes months, years or inverting may not even be for them.

    As mentioned by others there are still many things you can do that do not require an invert, working on them too soon can cause injury if positioning is incorrect and then you’ll be off the pole! That’s not what you want! We all have our strengths and it’s a good idea to find them so we can focus on our strengths during the times we feel frustrated with our progress.

    I teach is with a SLIGHT curve. I’ve seen others teach to arch the back, I personally feel that’s not the best option because it makes engaging the abs difficult therefore, it could place unnecessary stress on the low back. If you take a look at the still shot of the lesson video I shared you’ll see my back isn’t arched or rounded. The movement for the legs comes from the hips not the waist, however, I do have you holding a SLIGHT C shape with the low back, it should not be over exaggerated or round the whole spine pulling the shoulders forward, but just enough to help tuck the bum and engage the abdominals. It’s addressed in the lesson if you have them. 🙂

    You can never go wrong by listening to your body, for now you could try foam rolling or using a tennis ball on the area that seems tight. Be sure you’re fully warmed up when you do stretch. If the sensation doesn’t go away talk with a DR. 🙂

    First I do not suggest using the twisted grip, over time this can be harmful to the shoulder, elbow or wrist, for some people it can be fine, but as an instructor I say use this grip as a last resort. If you have the ability to hyper extend at the elbow, moves with a twisted grip or split grip should be done with care, being sure the NOT lock out the joint, because again over time this is too strenuous and may cause injury. To avoid overuse injury limit your attempts to 10 times or less and no more then 3 times a week. You may feel you have to try this move everyday or for a whole session, but in the end you could end up with tendonitis or other common poler issues.

    I can see in your pic that the legs are coming directly down in line with the torso, this makes holding very difficult. Instead you want to think of keeping the lower leg pointing forward, towards one wall (both legs still in V) and upper leg pointing far back, towards the opposite wall this will twist the hips and make holding the pose much easier, the wider you can split the easier it will be to hold as well.

    If your taking the lessons here you’ll find all of this info and more there https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/500ec404-2688-4862-bded-62650ac37250

    Nope, it’s not wrong, it’s tipping either way that helps lock you into place. 😊

    She has amazing skill to be able to spin at that speed, I see many strippers that do not point their feet. I would hate to think she would see this thread and think we are nitpicking. We all have our strengths, mine is not spinning that fast!! Lol

    Yes, as PFM said I have all of these moves in the lessons, the only one I don’t is the no hands cradle. Could always be added tho! All you need is a wicked fast spinning pole and control of your moves. 🙂 Fun video to watch tho!

    From what I understand they use to suggest using WD40 but now recommend liquid graphite instead. 😊 if you want to know for sure you can always contact them.
