I can’t think of any beginner options other than from the floor stuff. The one you mentioned is pretty challenging too. Here’s the lesson if you wanna work on it at home too. Split grip invert https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4fc78372-a964-43ee-a494-6cd00ac37250

Here’s an old video of me doing this from the ground if that helps. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/53592cda-fb88-497c-bd61-77e00a9aa0eb

Welcome! Check out the Spinning pole group of lessons in the Bonus section! You’ll find technique help for both forward spinning inverts and back. Here’s the first lesson in for invert prep https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/548f097e-4ddc-4544-a00f-68600a9aa0eb The rest will be in order after that one. 🙂

Let’s try again….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDj4i6YUW94&feature=youtu.be

And NO….I wonder how sturdy it is! That looks like so much fun!!

We rent too and I’ve used it in several home without issue. Just fill them in when you leave. 😊

My extensions are xpole brand…but I’m talking about personally having them, not selling. I don’t sell extensions on the site.

I put mine up and down everytime I use it! If it’s an xpole I suggest investing in the permanent mount, I wouldn’t put mine up and down so much if I didn’t have that. It makes it fast and easy!!!

Oh..I should say the 30 day programs will help with fear, that was part of the reason for them. We drill things over and over and you become comfortable…and you always start with the easiest, most comfortable options!

Hi! It was a challenge not a program that’s why it’s not in the lessons. Here’s a link to an old thread! forums/view/529fa5da-d154-4b47-9cde-67460a9aa0eb

What everyone is saying was true for me as well. After my dad died, then our member and my friend Layla died it scared me. I became aware of all kinds of danger and even lost the desire to learn new pole stuff. I’m saying, it’s normal, you’re not alone and it CAN get better! Not sure if this will help but here’s an old scope on fear. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/5632ba12-6de8-430c-bc75-1e2eac11006c

We are making some server changes and such, bare with us 🐼🐻

There are many options in the lessons.

Routines:
Core conditioning routine
Hard core warm up
Shoulders and Abs routine
Shoulder mount strength routine
The stands routine

You will also find a bunch of options in the Exercise section and Conditioning section.

Also working on any of the 30 day programs will improve over all strength, core included!

I like the 7 inch ones! I’ve had chrome, pink chrome and purple chrome, I don’t find they scratch any more than my other ones that are colored. Black seem to take the most beating….for me anyway.

From a sit is a fun option! My concern is teaching it before someone can invert. I don’t teach the brass monkey until much later because I want dancers to be very comfortable with other inversions before attempting to hang in that position. They need to have enough experience to bail out with control and getting the leg into the POC right position can be tricky. Most beginner dancers don’t yet have the technique down to hold inverted in this position. The sit entry is a good option for those who are more advanced but are too fearful or are uninterested in working on should mounts and straight edge.
