If you can’t plan when you are going to dance maybe look into a lesson subscription here? We also have the option of video chat on the site as well. This way you can post when you head into the chat room and others can see that you will be there. You can also invite your SV friends into the chat room if you are there.

I’m so happy to hear it worked for you Elle!!!!!!!

It’s fixed for me 💖

This video has some great excercises for learning proper scapula engagement and building muscle memory in the shoulders. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/52462459-db10-473f-ab4a-646d0ac37250

This is one of my favorite things Rara does! You guys so totally have one done!

haha, those photos are hilarious!!!!!

You’re strength sounds great, the tricky part with SEV (Straight edge aka Ayesha’s) and the variations is balance! In the lessons I teach the SEV elbow and forearm, before their vertical leg buddy the SE (straight edge) because of the balanced needed. I would suggest working on things like elbow stands, handstands, and such to learn your bodies balance points. A nice strong Caterpillar is very helpful, so if you are comfy with that give the SEV a try!

Sascha, can you tell us what you’re looking for in an app? 🙂

You’ll find a LOT of info in the lessons here.
Learn what order works for progressively building strength and flexibility that’s necessary for pole. This includes conditioning work for often neglected muscles of the hands, forearm and shoulders.
You’ll find that in every lesson description I include the muscle groups strengthen or stretched.
You’ll also see below the main video player, each lesson has a group of OTHER suggested lessons to work on to help the user achieve the main move. For example: Pole Sit lesson you’ll see I suggest working on the Pole Hold, Forward and back scapula and The Switch. This also helps you understand what muscle groups you should be strengthening for that particular move.
If you want a crash course in anatomy take a look at the foam roller section. In each description you’ll find I’ve included info like this: Quadriceps, are made up of 4 Muscles: Vatus Lateralis, Vastus Medialis, Vastus Intermedius and Rectus Femoris. Origin: The first 3 muscles originate at the top of the femur/thigh bone. The Rectus Femoris originates at the pelvis. Insertion: The first 3 attach at the front of the tibia/shin bone. The Rectus Femoris attaches at the Knee.
In each individual stretching lesson I give cues and tips for proper body mechanics as well as in all pole work, but that’s assumed I think. 🙂 I try to use terms that everyone can understand and relate too, so you’ll find more “proper” names in descriptions for those who want more book knowledge.

If your open split is farther away it’s most likely because you have tight adductors (inner thigh muscles). You don’t stretch the adductors as much in a squared split, you’ll stretch the hip flexors and quads more. Well I think both are important to work on. If you want to start doing moves that require more back mobility then work on your squared split, this will help you in back bends.

Jane, there are 2 basic types of front splits, Open and Squared split. If you turn the knee out (open) your are not getting the full benefit of the split stretch. If you keep the hips squared (both forward) then your are getting a full stretch. Neither one is right or wrong. If you take a look at the front splits routine you’ll see a demo of both open and squared. 🙂 As far as never reaching a full split with the knee down, I don’t know what she means by that!

No you can do the 30 days!! It’s for all levels and the goal is to build strength. So that’s why the pole hold is in there :). Here is another lesson on the pole hold https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/18f06154-b91f-11df-856f-001b214581be
-
Take a look at the lesson again for the pole hold, you’ll see belly is against the pole as mentioned 🙂 changing that should help. However the pole hold isn’t easy and can take a while for people to achieve 🙂
-
Which lesson, and have you started using the lessons from the beginning, going in order?
Depending on the lesson I give you an alternative like squeezing the pole between the knees or letting yourself slid to the floor in hold.
-
Age is just a number 🙂 I hope you have a better day today!
-
I think you’ll just have to go and see how it all turns out. There’s such a variation when it comes to what a “level” is, so try to stay calm. Meet with the studio and see how it goes. Let us know how it worked out! 🙂
I have no issues with sites using stock photos for general info. lol
-
I probably spend more time working on lines then I do tricks 😄
-
If your interested, there are full length routines and short routines/combo in the lessons that will help you with movement and even hands and feet. It takes a lot of practice and watching others!
-
Thanks Lina! I think I was able to do it right away because I had done a similar transition (in the video I posted to this link) a few years back. I just had to focus on not letting my leg hook!! I’m sure you’ll get it.
How fun Chem, I missed this challenge on fb!
-
These exercises and a LOT of practice will help! Oh and do the new lower body routine!
Foot exercise 1 focus on the outward exercise with the band. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4e316bf4-9398-4008-9184-6d820ac37250
Foot exercise 2 This is great for flat feet. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4e316bf4-9398-4008-9184-6d820ac37250

Yay, I did it!!! Thanks for sharing this!

Faye, make sure to watch the Getting started lessons at the beginning of each section and watch each of the individual stretching lessons too. They have a lot of cues for proper form. Once you are familiar with those you can start working on the flexibility routines. 🙂
-
Twisted grips could have caused the pain. If it doesn’t feel better in a day or two I would lay off the TG and see a Dr.
-
Very cool, I like it! I did something similar a few years back, it’s an invert into a SG straight edge. I used my leg lightly to assist in the transition but I think it could be done without the leg touching at all. I’m gonna try it the next time I practice! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Siso8Pl0WRY

Hopefully that might help. And as the others said if they don’t have a solid invert down getting the positioning correct for gemini will be difficult. If they have to toe scramble to get into basic invert then have them keep at it before moving on.
