Thanks! I’m spending today looking at yt more, I had pretty much abandoned yt when they kept removing music a few years back. Now that I can do live on there that’s appealing, thinking of using a different channel for dance.

Hi Butterfly! Yes, the program for inverts would be helpful for sure! Also you might wanna check out this video on Fear! https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5632ba12-6de8-430c-bc75-1e2eac11006c You will find more helpful videos like the Fear video in the Veena’s tips lesson section. 🙂

Brittany, the 30 day take off program was designed for people just like you! There’s no need to train or loose weight before starting. The program actually builds your strength from whatever point you’re at regardless of fitness level or size! You’ll find modifications and I’m always there to help on any lesson if you ask. 😊

Ugh, how annoying! There will always be ignorant people out there….. What if we all put our energy into sharing posts on social media that show what pole is, both the sexy and the artistic, instead of putting time and energy into attempting to convince someone that they’re wrong. What if we continue to show the world that it’s a woman’s choice to be as sexy or sexual as she wants! That yes, you can be a good mother, daughter, girlfriend, wife, PERSON and enjoy sexuality, that’s how change begins! Not by bickering and arguing with those who clearly have no intention of looking at things in a new way, but by living a life that is kind and true to who you are.

Go share your videos, post photos of yourself enjoying pole dance and show everyone that pole is awesome!

[Veena]

I’m happy to hear that you feel better DunnaStunna!

Bendy Bella, that’s an awesome story, thank you for sharing with us!!

Duopoly, if you’re following the lessons keep in mind that the pole climb placed first in the lessons is for strength building and is the most difficult. Feel free to try the performance climb too! 🙂

Hi, Brittany! What beginner workouts are you doing? Have you been working on my Take Off Program, do you have any questions about it? If you’re using YouTube you might find what some classify as beginner isn’t! So keep that in mind before you become too discouraged.😊

Thank you! xoxo

Welcome to the site!! It’s different for everyone, however by the time you finish the program, most will have a solid pole hold. This will make spins safer because you’veyou’ve developed the strength to hold yourself up. The flow program isn’t super advanced so depending on how quickly you feel confident with the moves you might be ready after the take off!! Just remember that any progress is good progress and there’s lot of other things to work on too!💜

[Veena]

Do you have a link for the product?

[Veena]

Check the strews holding the mount, and the joints every time you pole.

[Veena]

I don’t have time to comment right now but wanted to let you all know I’ve shared this meme created by Angila Hayes to my Studioveena FB page to show support and to make it easy for you all to find and share!

[Veena]

Thank you all, it’s with your help that this site is so great!!!!!!!!!!!

[Veena]

Thank you guys!!! 😍😍😍

Yeah, not everyone will progress in the same way, there are different methods that work for different people but if you see sudden progress it probably isn’t LASTING. Lasting true flexibility takes time and consistency. Changing up how you stretch is helpful and how long you hold, the types of poses you use that’s all stuff to change up. Some people love using the flowmotion routine here. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5406a836-5984-4917-be8c-44900a9aa0eb

Xpoles don’t require any drilling into floor or ceiling. Might be worth thinking about! I don’t have any suggestions for studios though, maybe someone else will!

[Veena]

Using static or spin won’t hinder progress as far as strength goes, the only real challenge if using only spin pole is learning timing needed for static spins.

Here are some things to check if you think you’re not making progress:

Have you written down, as in tracked your daily progress. This means writing out sets and reps and you can include notes on how you felt, tired, strong, sad, happy and so on. Taking photos and video also are extremely helpful. If you’re not tracking, then you really tend to forget how far you’ve come. Often people think they’ve done nothing but looking back tells the real story and it’s encouraging.

Don’t skip exercises unless you are physically unable, its painful in a way that is sharp, stabbing or sudden. Know that it’s normal to feel muscle burn and have them feel weak or shaky, that’s a good thing! It’s not expected that you’re able to do every exercise in the program fully or complete every set and rep. That’s why you track what you could do, then the next time aim for 1 or 2 more.

Try adding in some extra conditioning for the lower body if you feel the pelvic area is a problem. These would be helpful. The Hover https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/56c9381b-b644-49b2-9a88-0d5dac110003

Last don’t forget to eat well, and eat after you have a practice session! The body needs food so it can begin the recovery process.

I hope these tips help!!

HI! It’s very normal to feel weak when first learning, you’re holding up all of your body weight for most moves! What do you do when you practice? Do you have a plan when you train? I see you have the lessons, are you using the Take off program or just picking random moves? PS feeling awkward is normal too when learning anything new, most of us have been there before!!!

[Veena]

Yep!

[Veena]

Yeah, your oval hoop will work for now, but I’d go for some new hoops!
