Jenka, that is not the way I teach the basic pole climb. I don’t have you fully extending the arms and then bringing the legs up like that. We use the Pole Hold as the grip for the climb (arms are not fully extended) By using a Pole Hold you are building strength in the biceps and also it’s a better way to get a feel for proper scapula placement. I find when students raise the hands high over head the tend to hang off the arms, this is NOT what you want. Here is my basic pole climb

Yes, the ladies are right! 🙂 The lessons are placed in a specific order. The Veena climb is even more difficult then a basic pole climb, so if you cannot do 2 of the basic then I think you would find the Veena frustrating.

Stainless steel really works best when it’s broken in (heavily used). For me it doesn’t work well with my skin type and it’s so slick for me. You could try using this grip aid mix for now though!

If you have the lessons here please feel free to use what I have listed in the beginners section. You might also get some ideas if you take a look at the routines and combos section. Also I’ve added a section called Veena’s tips that has good info on scapula exercises and even tips for creating a pole routine.

Yes, yoga will be helpful, a background in group fitness or personal training is helpful too. Also, there is a lot of information online that you can study as far as muscle groups etc.

Hi Britafriedman, if you like please feel free to use the search function there are several topics on poling and pregnancy. 🙂

Sparrow, it’s in the lessons if you have them. On spin you don’t really swing way out like you would and you grab the pole with the back hand as well. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4fc4dc2f-1bd8-4026-9725-02690ac37250

Sure, this video has some good general tips in it http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CtinAzp17s0
If you are taking the lessons you’ll find more tips on spinning pole at the end of most static spin lessons. 🙂

We can do overnight, but it’s very costly, around 180 dollars, but we would have to get a quote to know the cost for sure.

Have you watched the Getting started Spins lesson? https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4f7460cf-70a8-4b81-b84e-781e0ac37250
If you can answer yes to either of the questions asked towards the end in this lesson, then go for it. 🙂
Keep in mind that spinning poles uses HOLDS, therefore the body is usually kept in closer to the pole and so it’s not a hard on shoulders etc. Static spins use MOMENTUM and the goal is to keep the body moving away from the pole, which depending on the spin, can be more strenuous on the shoulders.

I have the SSA, xpole light stage, and xpole stage. I don’t suggest a stage if you want ease of use and quick set up. Also you’ll have a heck of a lot more to store if you by a stage pole….

OH and Congrats!!!!!!

The SV pole goes up and down super fast, has great grip, can be used on vaulted or flat ceilings (with the purchase of a vaulted mount) the draw back is the max height is 10 ft.
I would get a pole that’s 45mm
X-poles are great too and can be used on both vaulted or flat ceilings (with the purchase of a vaulted mount) I like the Brass or Titanium finish. Xpoles can extend higher than the SV pole.
We rent and I have 5 mounts in my ceilings, a mix of xpole and SV mounts. Screwing into the ceiling isn’t a big deal, you can fill holes easily.

I know there’s a few girls who are just getting back into pole again after having a baby, if they’re not too busy changing messy diapers maybe they’ll see this and reply. lol 🙂
I would give the 30 day take off program a try!
