Day 26! 🌈 corkscrew on Static http://instagram.com/p/0qnnhqpAb-/

Here is the lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/500d68db-5840-4237-a347-74dc0ac37250 I’m so use to doing this with one arm using 2 was awkward! 😋 a super strong side pole hold will help tremendously with this spin.

Hi! Day 5 isn’t very far into Poling at all 🙂 Rushing into moves that you are not ready for often result in injury because either the body isn’t physically ready, or you lack the technique and control needed to safely perform the move. Stay with the program, and once you have the basic’s down and you are looking for ways to connect moves check out the Routines section. You’ll find 30 mini routines that do not require any inverts! You can see what level these routines are in the description. Try working on any of the stretches, or floorwork and transitions listed in the beginner section. Keep in mind you should only be working on the splins listed in the Beginner section, not other spins yet!! Inter. spins should be done after strength and conditioning has been consistently done for a while.

We’re in the north bay, the Larkspur ferry is the perfect way to get here 😊 I could even pick you up from there 🚢

[Veena]

Come on over and see me if you get a chance! 😉

[Veena]

I should say though that if your body tends to sweat you’ll find even SS grippy 😋

[Veena]

If you don’t want really grippy go with SS 🙂

[Veena]

If you want grip go with the PC lil mynx, I lvoe mine for the grip! I have heard their SS can be a bit slick so that might be what you’re looking for. We sell them here btw 🙂 https://www.studioveena.com/store/index.php/poles.html

Day 24! Sexy Layback! http://instagram.com/p/0llO4epAcv/

I love playing around with these! 👏 Here is the lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/51016242-6b0c-4643-92b6-21230ac37250 Play around with different speeds and ways placing the hands. Keep the abs active and chest UP!

Hi welcome! Here are 30 different exercises you can do without a pole that will strengthen the whole body. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/52f90381-4458-4123-99e5-41150a9aa0eb Also for moves that require flexibility, I have many individual stretching lessons, full length stretching routines and I just finished developing my new 30 flexibility program that will guide you for 30 days!

I would say that having a pole at home will allow you to progress faster with many of the moves you listed, so I don’t see any reason to wait with that. 🙂

I’m sure others will have some suggestions too!

Everyone please do your best to get your helpful points across without belitting someone else’s post. This does not mean you must agree, but please be kind to one another.

As for depression, I really feel there is more than one type, and it’s up to you and your health care provider to figrue out if it’s a chemical issue or situational issue. Not medicating a chemical issue can be deadly, while medicating situational depression can also end up with a bad out come. I do think it’s very important to know which type of depression you are dealing with before choosing or not choosing meds!

Shadow, if the meds are working and the dr wants you to take them please follow thier suggestions and take it, contact them if it’s not working for you so they can help you. If you feel maybe it’s situational depression (some times life sucks and it’s HARD) talk with your dr just to be clear that meds are right for you. If you have a good dr they wont just throw medication at you, they will explain why you need it.

You are not alone with having depression and most of us here are FAR from “normal”…..anyway who wants to be boring and normal?? But really, I understand the desire to want to “feel” like you “think” normal should be, if that makes any sense lol! Pole can be great therapy for many things including depression. Please take care of yourself and know you have people here to support you. xoxox
