If you don’t have our lessons why?
-
Many instructors use the lessons, and very successfully. They’re broken down in a way instructors can use and descriptions add extra insight, like muscles used and so on. There are far more than 2 advanced lessons on the way. 😠However, There are many ridiculously advanced Pro level, pole moves out there, far to much flexibility or the level of danger in executing is far to high for me to create lessons for. I want usuable, informative content.

Darcit…You were doing doubles with your man right? Are you two still working together, because that’s pretty cool!
-
I haven’t tried it yet because I found that I was over-subscribed to too many online lessons that I then did not use, so it has nothing to do with the quality of the work. Is there still a promo code for 3 days free? I’d like to try it out to see if I change my mind about it at least for a little while. I’m really glad that Veena provides this service!
-
Yes the code still works and no my lessons are not like all the others! They are structured, in order so you progress from move to move and you can ask me questions on any lesson any time and I’ll reply ASAP! Also I’ve got many routines and combos, both for pole work and strength and conditioning. 💜
Code: GET3FREE

Hi There. I really enjoy and appreciate the style of teaching on your site. I used to have the lessons, but then I reached the point where I needed more advanced levels and variations. Although…I did find one once of the marion amber, I think, and haven’t seen it on the list since. Am I missing it? Or is my memory on crack? Also, I am always very tempted by these deals. I thought I actually paid for a year membership back in January or February, but maybe it’s the paypal problems others are talking about, since, when I went to sign on, I wasn’t a member. I haven’t had problems with Paypal on any other occasion though. 🙂
-
If you haven’t had the lessons since before I’ve uploaded the Marley, then you’ve also missed several new pole lessons, floorwork and the 30 combos and several strength and conditioning routines that are killer workouts.
-
Btw, the Marion Amber lesson is on the way 😉
-
I didn’t receive a notice that my lessons were about to expire. Reaching out to members whose accounts are about to expire would probably help.
-
I agree with that. I have the lessons but I never know when my subscription is going to run out. One day the lessons just don’t work anymore and I have to stop what I am doing, get my credit card, and repurchase before I can continue. It would be nice to get a warning of some kind before it happens.
-
I do use what I learned from the lessons in teaching, for sure! For additional instructor audio I was meaning things like “here’s tips on how to spot this move safely” or “here’s a different way of explaining/thinking through/breaking down this move”. I just know that every time I hang out with other instructors I learn a ton and get a bunch of new ideas just by hearing/seeing how they cue students and correct problems. So that’s kinda what I was thinking…. I have no idea how/if it would work – it’s just additional content that I would be willing to pay for 🙂
And yeah, we’re still doing doubles together – PDA competition and (hopefully) Midwest Presentational this fall! -
I tried the 3 free days and the lessons are great.. You’re a really good instructor.. I’ll definitely buy your lessons when I get my own pole.. 🙂

Excellent question! When I first started using StudioVeena 3 or so years ago I wished it had routines and combos because my biggest challenge was putting together moves for routines, especially ones that were my level but didn’t use too many filler moves. Your new combos would have been so helpful for me then, I think it’s great that you’ve added those! I did feel that some of the very first routines got old faster than new ones of the same level were available, and so I waited a long time to renew my lessons with the idea that the longer I waited the more new content would be posted for me to learn. I wasn’t interested in paying a higher price per month for a shorter amount of time once I had done the year subscription.
I had the same issue once I started learning aerial holds, inversions and spin technique. There weren’t any lessons for combos, ways to transition from hold to hold, inversion to inversion (except leg hang switches) and so I began looking elsewhere. I’m so glad there will be more advanced lessons coming out soon. I can understand the liability issue with the ridiculously advanced moves that most home polers can’t or shouldn’t try on their own or without a spotter, but I found StudioVeena.com to be very limited as far as combos, routines, and fresh variations for basic inversions or just off the ground holds. Even the advanced routines don’t include many off the ground holds, or inversions, which was disappointing to me.
I know Veena is super busy and can’t just churn out new content all the time. I still think that Veena’s lessons are the best value out there and the most comprehensive for home polers starting from scratch or suplementing their studio classes by practicing at home. I think for me to want to re-purchase the year subscription year after year there needs to be enough new content on my level to keep me busy for a year, and it’s kind of a downer to pay more per month for a shorter time period after having the year subscription, I’d rather just wait until I see there is enough new content to keep me busy before buying my next year.
Someone suggested offering single lesson prices…what about pricing for subscriptions to individual sections? Like the advanced section for those who have maxed out on the beginner and intermediate content? Or the flexibility section for those only interested in using the flexibility lessons? Maybe even level packages for Beg. Int. or Adv. that include strength and flexibility lessons? I don’t know if that would take away from the overall subscription base. Having so much content available is great, especially for instructors, but for the home student who is not breezing through beginning to advanced levels in the span of 12 months it could be nice to only have to pay for what you can use in a year.
The only other solution I can think of is maybe guest instructors, I would especially love that for combos and routines!
-
So in short nilla you progressed beyond the content available in the lessons and you would be interested in more combos and routines. Would that be correct?
Regarding the statement “for the home student who is not breezing through beginning to advanced levels in the span of 12 months it could be nice to only have to pay for what you can use in a year.” It is important to note that you are paying for far less than you can accomplish in a year.
If you go to a studio you will pay for every lesson regardless of whether you improve or not. In this situation you are truly paying for what you can accomplish in a year. If it takes you 12 sessions to learn the fireman spin you pay for 12 sessions, if it takes you 5 sessions you will pay for 5. At StudioVeena.Com you pay one very reasonable fee then use our lessons as much as you would like.
Please think of it as learn all you want for $99 or $20/month or $35 every two months, rather than mentally assigning a value to each lesson based on an amortization of the fee divided by a number of lessons. With about 400 lessons that makes each lesson worth a quarter which I think everyone here would agree is absolutely not the case.

I want to be clear the pricing discussion isn’t just a reply to nilla. I just wanted to be clear on what our pricing philosophy is.
With StudioVeena.Com you can be a fast learner and learn as much as you want without paying for more content. Conversely if you don’t catch on as fast you can continue to learn for the same fee without having to pay for more lessons. It’s truly a win win.
The pricing options we have now really are the best mix that allow you the lowest cost entry into the content while still allowing us to operate the site.

Not quite my point but I’ll come back to it cause I have students coming in a few mins 🙂
