Looking good! I would actually lower to bottom hand a tinny bit more, AND you need to bring the upper body and lower body closer together into a tuck, this will allow the bottom leg to take on more weight making the flip easier.
Look at minute 2:30 https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/superman-1075/ Pause it an you’ll the slight difference between our entries. Look at how close I bring my legs to my torso.

I can see right away why you don’t feel like the bottom leg is helping. You’ll need to start with the hooked leg up much higher when trying Superman from Gemini on the floor. Right now the top leg isn’t high enough to allow the bottom leg to support you, your toros is too high up.
If you want to keep doing a Gemini from the floor, instead of going right into Superman try getting into Gemini, lower the whole torso down to the floor, then move into your set up for Superman. This will help get everything in a better place for the flip.
Everything else looks really good actually! I wouldn’t call it a fail at all, just a bit of a challenging getting there.
Good luck, feel free to send any more videos if you need help or have success!

Hi there!
Do you have video of your attempts? That would be most helpful for troubleshooting.
Have you been using my tutorial for Superman?
-
That’s good! 😌
-
How are you feeling Kora?
-
Yay that’s good about the tea. Yeah I’ve had some terrible flu before
-
Ugh, that sucks! I’m sorry 😢
I often use an illness as a time to stay in bed as long as I like, drink lots of fresh ginger tea and listen to podcasts and do some journaling. Oh sometimes I use those coloring books for grownups!
Hope you feel better soon!
-
Yay, feel free to ask if you’re not sure if one is the right fit 🙂
-
That would be amazing! We’re in the Tampa area.

It’s so good to hear from you!!! If you’re ever heading down to Florida let me know, I’d love to see you again! 💜💜💜

As far as injuries, man I never hurt myself in a way you would think. It’s been that way my whole life. I think it’s because when I’m dancing or doing something that might potentially cause injury. I’m very focused, but in my every day life…..😂
60 days is actually pretty common a lot of people stop and start and some people just keep redoing the 30 day takeoff and that’s OK too. That’s awesome you move onto level one. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help keep you on track.

Oh I missed this post this morning!! I did see it on IG 💜💜💜 You’re always really good at modifying things.
-
Awesome job. Yes the link worked. Because you have a private account anyone not following won’t see but that’s ok.
-
We announced before the launch of this new website that we will no longer be hosting any videos and if you wanted to keep them, you need to download them.
We sent out multiple emails and I announced it several times on all of my social media accounts too.

You’re welcome!
-
Awesome!!!
-
Yes, please don’t hesitate to send a video or ask a question 💜

Tripods can be helpful but also it really depends on if you’re wanting vertical or landscape/horizontal video. For the tutorials here I use landscape for flexibility tutorials like split’s because I have long limbs and vertical for pole work. Doing so allows for closer views for the pole work.
It’s hard to say without seeing a video or the space.
Mirrors work great in small spaces for filming when you can get your whole body in frame.

PS, You’re videos were always a joy to watch.

I can understand why you’re disappointed. So I want to remind you that the programs levels 1-3 are still there, the only thing that is different is I’m not critiquing your videos. Almost everything I have you focus on in the programs was part of the certification.
You can always send me a link if you want to make sure you’re doing something correctly or if you need help troubleshooting. I’m always willing to help someone.
It was a free service that was very time consuming on my part and I hope everyone can respect my need to take a break at this time.

Hi there! If you haven’t started from the beginning with me I always suggest starting by familiarizing yourself with my beginner level tricks, you don’t have to go through a beginner 30 day program. Instead I suggest sitting down and watching some of the beginner videos so you understand how I teach as it might different than most teachers. This should only take a few hours or day or two to familiarize yourself, then you’ll have a better understanding of how tricks build on each other. You might even discover which areas you’ll want to focus on.
If you’ve already done some snooping on beginner tutorials here are some other places you might want to start given your current skills.
– The spinning pole program is for all levels if you you’re wanting to learn that would be a good fit. https://www.studioveena.com/categories/30-day-spinning-pole-program/
– If you just started working on inverts, the invert program is also a great way to enhance your current training or provide you with a solid workout plan that will improve your inverts. https://www.studioveena.com/categories/nailed-it-pole-programs/ This is also a good program if you’re inverts are skill hit or miss or if you have reoccurring pain.
– If you’re looking for a guided program, watching the first video of any program will provide you with information on what you’ll be work on, or what you should know before starting a program. You can always start a program and switch to a more challenging or less difficult. Here’s an example of the Advanced level 1 program intro https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/advanced-level-1-welcome-free-1610/ Remember to read the descriptions too!
If you don’t want to follow a program, then I suggest working through the intermediate tutorials, (even though you can do some of the tricks) if all of those are too easy, then head over to the advanced.
What are you current goals? If you know, I can help you narrow things down even more.

You’re very welcome!

Hi there, I didn’t need any new top insert for my ball mount but I purchased mine several years ago so I’m guessing they may have changed. I wonder if the insert that comes with the poles now is too short?
I would email xpole and inquire what’s needed.
-
Maybe you can help me better understand. Are you saying you’re just working on random videos as a beginner? If so, I suggest following one of the programs because these will allow you to have rest days. They include strength and stretches that are needed as well. The pole strength routine is not a program. ????
If you think it’s from pole pushes, can you please share a video link of yourself doing these? I can let you know if you’re not positioning the arm correctly, placing the hand too high on the pole can cause too much strain at the elbow and shoulder.

Injuries are always a frustrating thing. I’m sorry that’s happening. Can you please explain what kind of injuries are suffering from this way I can better help you.
Things like soreness, tiredness or feeling, tender do not necessarily mean you have injured yourself and it’s common when starting pole.
Please let me know which program you have been using, the injuries that you suffered, what your doctor has said, and I’ll be happy to help you find a more suitable practice for your body.
Here’s a video on injury prevention that might be helpful to watch as well https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/tips-for-injury-care-and-prevention-free-547/
