Death lay? Seriously? If I ever considered learning that I'd want an instructor right there in the room with me, not on video. It's one of those moves if it goes wrong, it'll go spectacularly wrong. Scary, scary move
I can imagine it is scary 😲 and prob very good idea to have spotter i would just rather have someone teach me the correct way of getting into/out of move as safely as possible as well as get any tips or advice Veena may have on this rather than attempt it by watching videos on you tube of people who are not only not breaking the moves down, but may be doing it incorrectly Of course there should be a warning to people who may want to learn it it is a very advanced and dangerous move and people should be remindied to use a spotter, mat, and common sense ( if you haven't completely mastered superman and feel very confident holding yourself in that position don't even attempt death lay basically being honest with yourself about your level of training on the pole ) 💡 I was just requesting some diffrent options If a requested move is deemed to dangerous or there's just not alot of intrest in a moves thats fine, just throwing out some ideas ☀️ 🌸
Oh, don't mind me, hehe. It's just I know a lot of people who won't even post written advice about this move online. No matter what disclaimers, big neon flashing signs saying "don't do it" etc there'll always be at least one person who will try it before they're ready for it and hurt themselves. I think it's imperative for a instructor to be in the room for this one because they are the ones who can watch you do your preps and say "yes, you're ready" or "No, you need to stick to the preps for now" Just my tuppence worth 🙂
oh i agree there will be someone who is just determined to go for broke before they're ready 🙄 as for me though in my area there are no instructors closest is in Rhode Island (next state over) or Boston (which is an hr away) I wish pole dancing would pick up in this area there are no classes ect around here i am going to try death lay eventually, but i know i am not ready for it yet like i said just suggestions seems not too many people post so trying to keep things moving if it's put in lessons great, if not will search out a tutorial when i am ready to try it so anyway does anyone else have suggestions for new lessons? seems i can usually think of so many things i want to learn, but now am drawing a blank 😕 how bout the "scorpio handstand" (i think thats what it's called) its more to the side of the pole like being in chopper position except in form of handstand and to side of pole theres a way you can kick your leg around the pole and make yourself spin around the pole to come out of it have seen it on you tube same girl that does "superman for charlie" and "the marley" it looks simple enough but when go to do it can't really remember what is suppouse to go where 🤔
Oh, I do understand your position, it must be difficult being so far away from instructors. Is there any chance of doing real time online lessons via Skype? That's the next best thing. I don't know if Veena offers such a service at the moment? Scorpio handstand? You mean like this? How do you spin it? http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i20/loopylolacherrycola/IMG_0068.jpg

I have thought about it but.. web cams, Internet connections, along with time zone differences can create frustrations 🤔 I'm not sure if it would be worth the trouble. If I ever get lots of interest in people wanting online lessons I might consider it. 😀
see my comp.is downstairs and pole is in attic so i just watch videos and try and copy what i saw as far as hand or leg positions I wish i had a partner in crime around here to start (Finally!!) a pole studio in the area i know i'm not the only person outside of Boston or Rhode island that has an intrest in this 🤸 🤸 the picture you showed is close, but your legs are more in a butterfly position i'm talking more chopper legs straddling the pole in a handstand position, but to the side of the pole than you can extend one leg, whip it around and quickly grap the pole with atleast one hand so you can spin quickly (if you can get good momentum going into it on spinny mode looks better, but is harder easier w/boots? if i could just get it together with learning how to do things on this (comp.) ❓ there's a video that explains excatly what i'm talking about, but i don;t know how to paste the web address or whatever to link you to it well i'll have to check out those lessons Venna thanks for the response ☀️
in the pic your body is in right position for the handstand i am trying to learn just legs are bent instead of straddled any advice for getting into that position?
how about some lessons on spinny mode? so many of us seem to have that option i though it might be nice to have some lessons on combos on spinny i think i said it before but i like pencil spin, open legs and wrap around pole to go into thigh hold invert, come up into wrist seat, and do a (almost) drop split or come down with legs sort of in a pretty pose ☀️

im so excited about all of these new videos you said you're doing veena! ive been interested in the jackknife but just haven't gotten around to trying it out yet. im so behind in all that i want to learn!!! be careful with the deathlay move- i remember you saying you were scared of that one- but with your talents you'll rock it V 🙂
Former member ·
ps- lola that picture is incredible!!! btw random but you look exactly like my cousin jenny 🙂 how do you get into that handstand?
Pole-twista do you mean the Snap and Spin? http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Pcgz2oN8kl4 Sacha, taa hon. I just get into a basic invert, and bring my chest round the the front of the pole and put my legs into the scorpio position

awesome! im totally trying that move tonight 🙂 thanks lola! 👸
thats the one 😀 seems simple enough, but can't seem to get the concept when am actually ready to do it came up with my own little handstand variation 🥂 but of course i had just shut off camera bc was getting frustrated trying to do shoulder mount 🙁 ( like the chopper& butterfly i can do sometimes but not always) had a good practice today ☀️ i have been going on pole and taping a little everyday so can post at end of month everything is really random so have to go look at challenge list and pick one so am not just aimless clips still dont have a solution for posting, but think will be ok am going to talk to someone at best buy about suggestions i was given so we'll see pics will be up tommorow if all goes well 🫡
Ah don't worry, the snap and spin isn't simple! I always need a mat when I do it as mine seems to go "thud" on the ground. Also I do it further from the pole - I did have a vid somewhere but goodness knows what I've done with it! Yay, hope you do find a solution to your posting problem.
well haven't tried the "snap & spin" yet, but am getting braver have a decent amount to post now as far as video will be in the form of clips (very very random i may be wearing a 1 outfit playing a song, than i'll be walking to camera to turn off, than there i am in diffrent clothes/song, than will cut back to original song/clothes ) it's a little all over the place, but i did use a prop - long neclace did remix songs, and was in heels for some so did fit some challenges in am going to best buy this weekend to speak with someone about the problems i am having w/posting even though it's frustrating i feel alot better after reading the suggestions i was given i know its possible it's just a matter of knocking on enough doors til i find the 1 that works am not working today til 1130p ( have been working crazy hrs lately ) so am planning on taping some stuff to add to vid snowy day mine as well am planning on posting the 1st week of feb. should have enough vid by than can post a half way decent length vid 🌸
pole twista!!! i wish i went on here earlier and could have told you about the instructor i had! she taught classes in rochester, about 15-20 minutes away from where i live in acushnet. she is moving to NCm as soon as she sells her house so isn't doing anymore classes. but i will definitly e-mail her and ask if she will do private lessons if you would like =)
oh my GOD i wish i had known! what I really want is to teach beginner/intermediate classes myself there are so many girls/guys who are intrested and have no place around here to go I have talked w/ my mom about it and even she thinks its a goood idea I would love to speak with your instructor does she teach in her home? studio? others homes? I am so eager to speak w/anyone who can help bring my dream closer to reality thanks so much! 🌸 🥂
was just wondering about new lessons. know there has been some talk about new ones on and off since beginning of year. just wondering if there is any date planned or anything. am very eager to see whats new1 🤸 😀
was just wondering if there were any plans on new lessons any time soon? i think around the holidays last year there was talk of new lessons. just curious. and excited 🤸 🙂
It'd be really awesome to have some more lessons for simple spins. I'm done with the beginner section and most of the intermediate, but I can't really progress too much further just yet. It'd be nice to have some more beginner/intermediate spin moves to practice until I build enough strength to continue to advanced. I would suggest specific moves, but I don't know any. 😀 The only one that I've heard talked about and have no clue what it is is the rockstar spin.
I just finished recording about 25 spin lessons. Some are up dated lessons and some are brand new....more will be added in the future as well. If your looking to build strength, working on various Climbs, holds and the strength section would be helpful. 🌸
AWESOME...Love your lessons!!
Does anyone know if Veena has Yogini or Aysha lessons? I don't think all the lessons are organized into the different levels yet and I'm not sure if I've seen them somewhere or not.
Does anyone know if Veena has Yogini or Aysha lessons? I don't think all the lessons are organized into the different levels yet and I'm not sure if I've seen them somewhere or not. The lessons have always been organizing by levels. 😉 If you watch the very first lesson that pop up, it will inform you on how to use the lessons. I have 2 for the Straight edge V, (aysha) one with elbow and one with forearm grips. This is an advanced move and there for is under the advanced lessons. The Yogini, isn't there yet. http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2594 http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/2617
