Intermediate Level 2: Day 7
Duration: 00:31:03
Today you’ll have fun learning two more tricks that utilize your knee pit grip after working on building strength for the whole body.
Pro tip: If you’re struggling with feeling secure in your knee pit grips, you might find my Knee Pit Grip class helpful. Don’t use the class today, just watch and take notes. If you’d like to use the class, do this tomorrow, then come back to day 8 the next day.
Allow the videos to play in order and follow along. Feel free to pause anytime you need to.
Below is a list of direct links to each full length tutorial you worked on in today’s session. Remember you only need to click on these if you’d like more help or information.
Hi Veena. This may be a strange question but can you give some advice on breathing? I filmed myself for this session and noticed I am looking very strained in the face and neck even though I feel strong enough in the moves. I asked a non poling but very fit friend about this and he pointed out that I look like I am not breathing and ” holding a pretty solid Valsalva ” the entire time. I am definitely a breath holder when I exercise. It sounds silly but I’m not sure how to time my breaths with pole to improve this.
Think of it this way. Every time you lift yourself or start a hold, begin it with an exhale. Keep breathing while holding. It can help to literally hold your mouth open. Yeah, it looks weird but this works for 2 reasons, it’s unusual so you remember to breathe and it keeps you from clenching the teeth, which we tend to do when exerting. Also have a look at this Veenas tips for flow. I cover breathing in it https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/578da46a-d708-409f-9174-0010ac110005
Thankyou. I’ll give this a try and check out the flow link â¤ï¸
