Hi Veena and Webmaster,

I’m very new to poling, and find practicing on my own difficult (what to do now/motivation). There are no classes where I live, so one thing I thought might be really fun (although maybe too much work for you) is to offer your lessons in 6-week groups on specific dates with specific moves covered, so that a bunch of us could sign up together, and go through the different moves at the same time, posting our experiences/progress.

I think that could be really fun, and create even more community. And it would make me get on the pole way more often than I do now!

Anyway, it’s just a thought. Thanks for doing all that you do Veena! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Hi there,
I have suffered from SAD a lot of my life (growing up in Michigan). This year, I felt the heaviness and lack of motivation to do anything coming on again, and stumbled upon the light therapy lamps and bought one. I kid you not, within a week the depression was gone. I use it every day and notice a big difference in my energy levels.

The website where I found the lamps is fullspectrumsolutions.com. There are probably a lot of others.

I hope you find relief–SAD sucks so much, it’s like you’re not even living. I’ve heard 30 min. of aerobic exercise in the mornings also helps (haven’t tried it).

Good luck! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
