This 1-hour class is suitable for anyone, but if you suffer from EDS, hypermobility, perimenopause, menopause, or have loose, tight, or weak-feeling joints, this video could change your life! When starting, use this class 2-3 times a week for one month for the best results. After this, you can try reducing the number of sessions per week. If your joints start to have issues again, increase your sessions.
Once you've done the exercises in this class for a month, you can pick a few of your favorites to include in every warm-up or to use between lifting weights. This will save you time and challenge your body in a new way!
One last thing. Emotions get stuck in our bodies, and movement is the most effective way to release them. So if you're trapped in identifying with whatever "ails" you—for example, if you're going through perimenopause and you base your actions around the fact that you're going through this, you talk about how bad it is with everyone and dwell on it—emotionally you feel bad, upset, out of control, or frustrated, and your symptoms will feel magnified. We don't want that! Instead, release this identity and focus on how strong you are becoming with each workout!
In this class you'll target:
No pole is needed, but you will need a place to anchor a resistance band, and I'll provide a list of equipment below.

This felt so good to do! I am having ongoing issues with one of my shoulders, and it seems like my lats/triceps/posterior arm muscles on my right arm are not firing correctly. I am going to have to take some time off from pole while I rehab it. Would you recommend doing this routine 3x week alongside any other upper body strength routines, or would that be too much?
I totally feel you I was in the same boat. Yes, do this three times a week eventually, you’ll be able to taper off. Right now I do it about once a week and it’s enough.
That's good to hear. This is the third time I've done this routine and my arm no longer hurts constantly! Thanks again Veena for such amazing content :)
You're so welcome!
