    Hey ladies,

    I’m comin’ to the pole jam in Columbus on March 6th! I have the best honey in the world. He said it was okay for me to go and that we’d celebrate my b-day the following weekend. Soooooo, I’ll be spending Saturday night with y’all at Kickstand! This is my first pole jam and I can’t wait to see some of you gals on the pole. I’m a bit shy, so I’ll be the one sitting down doing all the cheering!

    Hey, can anybody tell me where to find "the switch" move in the video lessons? I’m putting together a daily routine to get my abs together and Veena said this is a good move for abs. Thanks, ladies!

    Vodka,

    I have a recipe for vegan cheese that takes only 10 minutes to make. Lots of great substitutes for cheese!

    Vodka,

    There are some really great recipes out there and once you try them you’ll be hooked! I’m a vegan 99% of the time (I eat salmon once a week). I’ve found some great recipes on fatfreevegan.com and vegancoach.com. You should also probably invest in a good probiotic and take it regularly. Other foods you’ll want to eat include spinach and blueberries. Try looking up quinoa recipes….great hearty grain that you can do a lot with. I have a quinoa paella recipe, as well as a quinoa loaf and salad recipe that I love.

    Either way, hang in there. For the first 18 years of my life my mother served something fried, a starch and a canned vegetable for dinner. I suffered many health problems in my mid 20’s and finally figured that I needed to change my diet. It was difficult at first because I focused on what I couldn’t have as opposed to all the other great foods out there. Once I started experimenting with fresh veggies I was hooked.

    Let me know if you need some encouragement or someone to talk to. I’m a health and wellness coach and have a lot of experience helping my clients change their diets. And for you, my pole sistah, there would be no charge!

    Audball, you may want to figure out if there’s yeast in your system. Yeast buildup is a frequent problem that goes unnoticed in traditional medicine. Here’s a quick test to see if yeast is the culprit:

    In the morning BEFORE you put anything in your mouth get a clear glass and fill it with water. Work up some saliva in your mouth and spit in the glass. Check it every 15 minutes or so for an hour. If you see legs travelling down from your saliva then you probably have a yeast problem. If there are no strings and the saliva is still floating after an hour then yeast probably isn’t a problem.

    If you find you have a yeast problem, I would recommend reading The Yeast Connection (forgot the author’s name). Follow the diet in the book for about a month and see if you notice any changes. You may also want to pick up a good quality probiotic. Evening Primrose is good for eczema as well.

    Also, use the hydrocortisone and any steriod based creams as little as possible. Steriods can cause problems down the line if used too much. I have clients (I’m a health and wellness coach) that have this problem so use them sparingly and try to find a more natural solution to the eczema.

    Hope this helps!

    Hey someone just posted a book in another forum called The Genius of Flexibility by Bob Cooley. From what everyone here has said, it helps you really stretch which is great for toning. I just placed a hold on it at my local library. You may want to try the same.

    I just placed a hold on it at my local library. Should have it in 3-5 days. Oooh, I hope this works because I’m the stiffest girl in my pole class (hee hee). Thanks for the tip!

    I added myself too and sent a message to skeebee99. Does anyone know if I’ll get an email if she messages me back using the map? I’m not the most technical person in the world https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

    Hey everybody. I’m looking for a few pole pals in Cincinnati. I go to a studio, but I haven’t really connected with anyone there yet. I’d love to find a few pole enthusiasts to have regular pole jams with. Let me know.

    Thanks. I took the plunge and learned Fan Legs today! It was awesome. I’m planning to master this move and then move on to the next one until I can fly on the pole!
