Thanks Veena. Please extend my gratitude to Chris, the webmastah!

Squuueeeeee…this is going to be sooo fun!!!! I’ll be in touch once I solidify my flight. I’ve an old friend I want to see as well so I’m waiting for her to get back to me. BUT, I will definitely be there as I’ve already gotten my hotel and paid my conference fees. Polin’ with Veena….yes!!!
-
I’d love to! I didn’t realize you’d moved to SF. Are you near Union Square or at least BART close?

I have the Yoga Direct Pole Dance Crash Mat. It’s 5′. I don’t care for it that much. It’s very thick and bulky so I have a hard time walking on it when preparing to invert for more advanced moves. I’d sell if it someone in Chicago were interested and could pick it up.
-
Actually, I meant to say more advanced moves that don’t require as much flexibility (for those of us still working on it) or variations of current advanced moves that take into account polers who aren’t as flexible. Don’t know if that makes sense, but Veena has some awesome advanced lessons that I can’t do YET since I’m still working on my flexibility.

I agree with @Twilight Starr. I have had a membership for a few years now. Sometimes I use it often, and other times I don’t. In my mind, it really balances out because the cost is so reasonable. I’ve subscribed to other online pole sites and they don’t measure up to SV and cost twice the amount.
Webmaster, If you’re looking to add more to the site, I would say more advanced lessons. Veena did a video of a flag invert and it was very detailed and really helped.
-
Congrats on getting your invert! Take your time getting the Ayesha as it is more advanced. As for the inner thigh burn, there’s no way around it you just have to keep doing it until the pain goes away. Congrats again!

There are also a few vegan food delivery services. They package everything pre-measured and give you the recipe. The best part is that the rccipes take 30 minutes or less to make. thepurplecarrot.com is one and there are countless others.

I’ve the same challenges with finding new vegan dishes to make. Sites I use for recipes include veganricha.com, ohsheglows.com, and robinskey.com (raw recipes). Good luck!

I’ve poled in tight spaces as well. I used to use it as an excuse not to pole, but then I realized there were lots of things I could do. So, I started practicing different climbs and doing basic conditioning (pull ups, etc). Do what you can. Your body will benefit no matter what.

I have the same problem off and on and what’s helped me is just doing some of the SV lessons. I usually start with the easy stuff instead of focusing on tricks. I feel like it helps me get my pole groove back before I start doing tricks. You could try the lessons, one of the challenges (I had great success with the ab challenge….was able to deadlift into my should mount..woot!), or take a class. Just take a deep breath and go for it!

I’m going to try and do all of these moves this month. I’m moving furniture around so my place is a mess. I will most likely do them this weekend and upload afterwards. This should be fun! My instagram name is msvdub07. I’ll try posting there and here as well. Can someone tell me how to add my instagram link in the forum?

Sounds good!

Veena is right. I’ve been poling off and on (more off than on) for about 5 years and I’ve been a member of SV for at least 2 years. It wasn’t until the last 6 months that I really started to do the conditioning lessons. Oh what a difference they make! For example, I read about the 30 day ab challenge here and decided to try it. Before I finished the 30 days, I was able to dead lift into a shoulder mount; something I’d never been able to do before. Now I do the conditioning lessons a few times a week and I can feel the difference in my strength. Pick a few conditioning lessons and do them a few days a week and see if you notice a difference.

Structured workouts will be key once it gets cold. I live in Chicago and I don’t have a car so I’m planning to practice at home in the winter as opposed to braving the snow!
