Haha, yes some options don’t apply 😂😂 I hope it works for you!

[Veena]

I don’t handle payments, I’ll have to check and see if your request was received.

[Veena]

That’s good to hear, it seems these days people only know about the TG grip and have never even seen a cartwheel mount or handspring, makes me feel old! lol

[Veena]

Yay for brass pole…. I found this article that has a few options for cleaning brass! Can you believe catchup is one! I might try it myself on a piece of my pole that won’t polish up. https://www.bobvila.com/articles/how-to-clean-brass/ Let me know if any of these work!

[Veena]

You’re welcome! Do studios still teach cartwheel and Handspring or are they only doing TG “handspring”?

[Veena]

What do I eat?! Hmm here’s an example:

Breakfast: Oatmeal pretty much every morning, with goodbelly juice or tea

Snack: Protein shake after AM workout

Lunch: Tuna, sautéed kale and sweet potato or pasta

Snack: Chips and salsa

Dinner: This varies a lot from tacos to stir fry to pizza but it’s all made at home.

As others said making things ahead of time is super helpful, for me I make enough dinner so I usually have leftovers for myself for lunch! Cutting up veggies and putting them into containers, having fresh fruit around.

These will all help you work toward that position: Foot to head lesson is a great one for this https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5625848b-9610-42ce-9ece-7bae0a9aa0eb Also the back mobility routine, the, Advanced Ballerina Stretch https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/548cc3f2-2494-4bc1-9989-1d680a9aa0eb

Hi! Even if you have poled for a few yrs going through the 30 take off will help you understand my method of teaching. Even seasoned pole dancers have gone back to the basics and benefited from this program. 💜

[Veena]

Yes you can, just make sure to follow the suggested rest days. 😆

[Veena]

Yep what Neesy said! Sorry for any slow replies…we’re still traveling and it’s been slow going with all the snow we keep having to drive through.

[Veena]

Yeah you won’t loose time you had, it’s added on. We are on the road traveling back home and will be handling all new subscribers asap.

[Veena]

Can you get into the attic? Then you can see what’s going on.

Before and afters would be awesome to see!

[Veena]

Thank you!!!! We made it to the big 20 😜

[Veena]

I have thin, narrow feet and for me, the pleaser runs pretty close to actual shoe size.

In my experience if the heel is open toe go smaller, if it’s closed go bigger.

I wear a 7 1/2 and buy 7. I have bought other brand heels, a size up (8) and they stretch and end up too big.I find all my heels regardless of brand stretch out a bit if they are open toe. Wearing socks with them will help stretch them as well. Dancing in the heels that are too big just make it hard, my toes pop out of the top (where your foot slides in) and make dancing and toe slides impossible.

Too new*

[Veena]

It’s a cartwheel mount…most studios are too need to know there’s a difference between them. Here’s a video that shows some mounts. It’s super old, like 8 yrs I think! https://youtu.be/sag8kwfYBmU

[Veena]

Yep, that blanket is a nice option! Often this issue is do to the muscles of the hips and pelvis not necessarily the muscle along the spine and most people might assume. It can also be tight hamstrings. Working through the conditioning section would be helpful and even focusing on some of the lower body work outs here will help as I have you focus on maintaining and finding your neutral pelvis as it’s different for everyone. This video would be helpful too! Tips for hip flexors https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5357d706-3bc8-456d-876f-5cd80a9aa0eb

If you are brand new to pole just do the 30 day take off because I do include flexibility in there too. The Take off is a very well rounded program. If you’ve been poling a while or have been doing some other form of exercise then feel free to try both, as Robinska mentioned. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[Veena]

Please don’t feel too disappointed, I have yet to come across a pole DVD that is truly for beginners. Some will be able to hold themselves but most will struggle until they begin training. The girls are right my lesson are different and will help you build strength, flexibility and techniques needed for safe progression. If you’ve just joined the site you have 3 days of access to the lessons. If you missed that chance use this code GET3FREE and you will have 3 more days. The 30 day take off program is the perfect place to start and if you look at other
Lesson sections you’ll find that everything is in order. It’s not like using youtube or other sites that have content all mixed. You literally just click the first video in line and go from there. Let me know if you have questions.

I’m so happy you found us. Don’t give up!! 💜💜💜

As a home poler and someone who’s tallish, I understand the frustration of needing space! I’m bless right now to have a great studio in home. Maybe there a room you don’t use that you could put a pole in?
