Too new*

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

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.

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?

Welcome to the discussions! If you ever get stuck check out the programs and lessons here. 💜

Glad your tooth is taken care of and I hope you find yourself a stud (finder) soon 😉

One isn’t better than the other. What have you used in the past?
-
Xpole, Lil Mynx and Lupit poles are quality poles. I have not used the Lupit pole but I hear good things about them. Don’t by knock off brands that LOOK like these other poles, they’re often made with less durable parts. X pole is the most common pole that is copied.

I’ve not heard of that product, just the pole. Sounds neat tho!

Studios don’t alway have the training needed to provide alternative options or teach people in a progressive way. It’s not that they’re bad, it’s that they don’t know what they don’t know..ya know? lol
If they’re ever interested I’ve got a free teach training course. It’s a big banner to the right if you’re on a computer…if on mobile device they’ed have to use the search for Veena Method to find it. You might find it interesting too, I’ve made it very easy to understand. Here’s the link for it https://www.studioveena.com/methods/letter

I’d say go through the take off program…but just by watching all of the lessons. You don’t have to do them, watching and seeing how things connect and learning what is level appropriate I think is helpful. That’s something you can do when you have some free time to sit down and browse.
The most important concepts are scapula engagement and things like learning timing for static spins and inverts.

Hi!
First thing, if you could post a video that would be helpful for us to see what’s going on.
Have you check out my tips for controlled momentum? https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/57466663-5f0c-4071-99f5-0047ac110006 Too often studios teach inverts from a deadlift, with no momentum…this is very difficult and doesn’t create a pretty flowing invert up to the pole. I like to step into my inverts, it saves effort and it’s pretty!
Also there’s a video of tips for basic inverts too https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/57466663-5f0c-4071-99f5-0047ac110006
I do live skype lessons as well if you’re interested.

The V invert is more challenging than a basic invert so don’t feel bad about not being able to hold it!! It can take a few months or MORE of basic inverting before having the strength to hold the hips up over head. Are you using the controlled momentum technique to invert or deadlifting? Deadlifting is hella tough and isn’t necessary to work on until you want to begin working towards aerial inverts. I would ask if you can do the basic invert in the routine for now.
Also if you can post a video that would be helpful for trouble shooting!
Have you check out my Veena’s tips for inverts? https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/57466663-5f0c-4071-99f5-0047ac110006 Also working through the 30 day invert program will help you build strength. Here is another video on controlled momentum https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/57466663-5f0c-4071-99f5-0047ac110006 Hope these help! Let us know how it goes!!

Awesome, thanks for sharing. 😊
-
Vangle have you tied working through the invert program in the lessons here? It will help you build strength 💪💪💪
-
I think your best bet is just to post about it here and hope someone has either an old xpole they are selling you can take pieces from or has some spare pieces. I hope you find something!!!!
-
Beforever you invest more money on a new pole try using a combo of anduring mighty grip! I’ve got cold legs and don’t sweat much and this mix allows me to use any finish even when the pole is cold! Here’s a video I made https://youtu.be/jgvvc2uvcFw

I would contact xpole! Hopefully they can help put resolve the issue💜

I do, here’s why, a fundamental move is a building block to understanding and building strength for more advanced moves. Just because I label a move fundamental doesn’t mean you HAVE to learn it. There’s really no move you have to learn….in fact the most important concept for pole is understanding scapula placement and conditioning the body for moves you might learn. After that point, it’s about learning each move with correct techniques in mind. I hope that makes sense.😆

First remember that pole should be fun, unless you’re making a living off of competitive pole then no need to stress about what level you’re at with pole tricks. However, if you wanted to do the flexy program I think most days you’d have time to start with some pole work first, then finish with the suggested lessons in the flexy program.
It’s good to keep suggest rest days in programs, but you can do is read ahead in the program and see what days are full rest and what are active. Then you can plan what days you’ll pole on as well. On active rest you can do things like floor works, transitions, work on making existing “easy for you to do” moves pretty. Rest days just aren’t the days to begin working on new strenuous moves. Let me know if you have any other questions. 🙂

Yay!!!!!! Yep looks like brass that needs a cleaning…..that reminds me, mine is looking pretty sad! lol
-
Have you tried any of the program here? They’re all well rounded as far as flexibility and strength building. Also, if you really wanted to focus on one, I’d say try the 30 days to flexy program, even though it’s a program to increase flexibility you’ll be working on strength too. You need both strength and flexibility to help reduce your risk of injury so for me training strength and flexibility go hand in hand.
If you don’t want to try a program, train what you like and then make sure to take a time at the end of each session to stretch. Just adding in a few minutes of stretching to remind worked muscle how to relax can be helpful. Keep in mind that there are several routines that focus on flexibility or strength so you can mix up what you want to focus on, they’re all under 45 mins long!
