    Studio Veena is my go-to for any move I want to learn. I made the mistake of jumping around at first and didn’t follow her advice to start at the beginning with the 30 day take off etc. she’s a personal trainer as well as a pole instructor so really goes into what muscles are used, points of contact, when to stop if something hurts.
    The way she has the lessons set up makes so much sense.i think I’m in my 4th year of lessons with her. I still haven’t made it through all the tutorials and she keeps coming up with new stuff. Her IG challenges are awesome. Always an option for beginners in her challenges so everyone can participate. Definitely worth the money. I’m not good at showing up for classes at a studio, but like learning at home.

    I bought some on Amazon last summer. I’ve used them for pole, but didn’t notice a grip benefit. They look very cool though… Just search ” high heel sneakers”

    I can hold a handstand for maybe 10 seconds before losing my balance. I’ve been working on them for about a year to build strength and flexibility. Usually practice against the pole or wall. I’ve never been a gymnast. The videos I’ve seen online make it look so easy. I’ll keep working on the kick up and holding without support for as long as I can.

    I started a year ago on my own with a pole in my house using you tube tutorials Then I found StudioVeena! I LOVE the way lessons are taught. Master one move before moving to the next etc. Starting from the floor and working up. I’ve never had formal lessonsand have been able to progress way past where I everthought I would be able tothanks to Veena. Never stop believing in what your body can do with practice, persistance and patence at any age! I am very much a solo learner so this method is perfect for me!

    I’m determined to learn to do a split by Dec. 31, 2015 for the first time in my life. I’ve decided that nothing is impossible and never let anyone tell you that you won’t be able to do something! In the 6th grade I was told that I could never be a gymnast because I don’t have the flexibility. I believed her… until I turned 52 and had a pole installed in my living room. I’ve been working on my splits for about 2 months religiously. Long way to go, but I’ll get there! Let’s do this everyone!
