Two new workouts have been added to the Classroom!
These are both roughly one hour long classes and they’re suitable for everyone. However, if you suffer from Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), hyper mobility, perimenopause, menopause or have loose, tight or weak feeling joints. These videos could change your life and dramatically improve your pole practice.
More information can be found in the video descriptions.
Here are the links:

I’ve been watching some of Menopause Barbies videos and I love her. I thought I’d share this video as it goes well with mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ-OaC0KTZE&list=PLOUBdLFwUtyYimWltwfsEQneVYjIaMQH-&index=10

@szarlotka my kids are pretty chill, we all enjoy hanging out together. I feel like a cool mom which probably means I’m not lol

Yeah, @Prilladonna everyone usually only thinks about muscles getting stronger or bigger. However, we can also improve the strength of our tendons which connect our muscles to the bones and ligaments which provide stability! This does happen when we do exercises to strength the muscle, but you can also target the joints more through specific movement patterns.
This has made such a huge difference for me!
Right now I’m pretty sure I’ll film a routine for everyone, but I’m not sure if I should do one longer one or a few shorter. I’m open to suggestions.

Hey, hey! A new class has been added. This one is all about Pole Climbs and the Crucifix. As always, we start with our warm up, then move into our trick practice, followed by a fun choreography using everything we covered!

More resources are always welcome! I know I’ve had a hell of a time finding anything useful. 💜

There isn’t much about post menopause other than the same advice about diet and knowing yourself applies. It’s an ok RANT IMO.

Episode 10 is up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_RHQholLn8
Here’s the link for my 30 minute hips and pelvis routine https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/hips-and-pelvis-routine-live-lesson-1810/?current-category=49
Here’s a breakdown of what I’ve found has help me:
1. Spending time in the sun and nature.
2. Avoid prepackaged foods, if I do eat them, I check the ingredients and always choose whole grains.
3. Eat very little sugar.
4. I eat more protein than before, including tofu and non dairy yogurt for gut health.
5. Eat to prevent inflammation, I love real ginger tea and sauerkraut.
6. I use cannabis in the evening for sleep, inflammation and muscle recovery.
7. Journal to find patterns in my cycle and life.
8. I find ways to regulate my nervous system. Mediation, music, playing guitar, hugging my dog etc.
9. I no longer “identify” as a woman in perimenopause, but I still honor my bodies changing needs.
10. TARGET TRAINING MY JOINTS! Before this I was having a hard time sleeping because my joints would feel like they’re about to fall off my bones! It was so uncomfortable.
I’m fully aware that I’m just beginning the process of moving into my next phase of life so by no means I’m I stating to be an expert. This is not medical advice. I’m also not trying to downplay anyones struggles or experience with perimenopause and menopause. I know when hormones are not balanced they do very crazy things as I experienced this with my birth control struggles, you feel totally out of control. I did feel like I was living in a different body until more recently when I changed my diet and perspective.

You’ll be learning two ways to grip with the arms along with some really exciting low pole exits. If this pose isn’t working for you,…

It really is what you make of it around them.
Funny story, two nights ago my 3rd oldest asked if he and a few friends could use our yard (he has his own apt) to have a bonfire and hangout. We said of course. Well they didn’t come over until late and my husband and I were asleep we stayed asleep throughout the bonfire. At about 2 am I heard a weird noise coming from below our home (where my studio is). It took a minute, but I soon realized they were playing around on my pole hahah.

Episode 9 is up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-smIQYXvW-E
Oh boy, this video is a long one, as I cover pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood as a pole dancer.
This is not medical advice. Always speak to your health care professional about your pole dance training.
Learn more about how I approached pole dancing while pregnant: https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/… This video is from my teacher training course, which is FREE!
Here are a few example of how to have fun with your kids as a pole dancer! This link https://www.studioveena.com/members/v… will take you to a few video of my boys when they were very little. We would have Pole Jams and just get silly taking turns on the pole. We even used the pole to workout as a family. And you’ll find a few video of my boys playing instructor for both hula hooping and pole.
This link is one of my favorite memories with all four boys and myself dancing to Rock Lobster https://fb.watch/y0hu4xcCmx/
No pole program: https://www.studioveena.com/categorie… This 30 day program is great for those who just started pole dancing, only to find out that you’re expecting. It’s also a great option if you have been cleared for exercise after baby. I also have wonderful strength exercises and routines you can use to help you maintain your strength while pregnant. Most do not require a pole! If you need help finding anything feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to help you.
Last I’m also including a 15 minute video compilation of my personal journey from pregnancy to postpartum. https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/veenas-pregnancy-and-postpartum-journey/?current-category=72
