Hi, welcome back!!!! I’ve been here for about seven years. I’m still at it and having a blast. Veena has added so much and takes very good care of her veneers! I’ve also had the pleasure of actually meeting and spending time with her and her wonderful family! Again, welcome back!!!

Wonderland, if I am understanding your question, the subscription starts at time of purchase. Do you currently have a paid account?

Thsnks,mine is like this. Just didn’t know if they had a new model with a different way to go from spin to static. Thanks

You have a a wonderful community here! I started “late in life” and couldn’t do a pole hold to save my life. Be patient and don’t compare to what others are doing, how long it took them to learn, etc. We are different and should take this journey as our own. It’s a lot of fun, and each accomplishment sets up for the next. And, as others said, THIS is the place to begin. I had been poling a little bit having learned some things at a studio but then it closed. I tried learning on my own. Then I found studioveena. com and went back to basics because I was doing a lot of things incorrectly. Her progression for teaching is awesome! Welcome!!!

I remember my first performance on stage at a theater in 2014. I had done few at local studio which were nerve-wracking enough, but the one at NCPP in San Jose was a huge deal for me. Couple days before I almost backed out. I was a nervous wreck and my husband was even concerned and wondered why I was putting myself through that. All this to say that I didn’t back out and did the performance. Two girls from my studio were backstage waiting their turn and when I walked back after mine, I told them “THAT was so much fun!!!” They were shocked that I said that. Since then I have performed the same showcase in 2015 & 2016. And perform at local studio showcase also. I still get nervous, as others do, but the support and encouragement of everyone is amazing and the accomplishment is worthwhile.
At the NCPP San Jose showcase I didn’t warm up the first two years. This time I did warm up backstage with the two poles available. It made a difference for me. It also helped me focus more on performance, other than nerves.
All I can say is it will be over before you know it. I don’t know how long you have been poling, but I had been poling long time before I stepped out of comfort zone and wish I had sooner. The sense of accomplishment is amazing. Have fun!!!

Oooooops! Husband checked and the three screws at the adjuster on the bottom were loose, can’t believe I missed that after all the poles I gave taken down and put up! Love my permanent mount.

I finally bought the permanent ceiling mount and love it. However, when on static, the whole pole tends to turn slightly, as if the spin screws are not completing tightened. But as far as I can tell, they are. Is this common? Kinda bugs me as I feel it shouldn’t move at all like when it was on the dome. Thanks!

YUP! I started at 50 yrs old, so late start. Took a while to feel stronger and begin accomplishing things, slowly but surely. Have patience and know that no matter what you are doing, even if it seems slow, is building strength. Do a Happy Dance for each thing, even if it doesn’t seem big, IT IS! Have fun with it and realize working out is better than nothing. Having lessons is great and will give you a plan of action.

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!!

Thanks. The Quick Lesson category is the only one that doesn’t change to last video viewed for me. The Adv and Nailed It did this evening.

I saw the announcement on FB. I posted a question on here https://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/57aeba09-f028-4eb8-9adc-0014ac110005#bottom. Thanks!!

Even though I know it’s important to check the xjoints, I bought the permanent mount and love it. I had a maintenance guy put the mount up for me because I trust him (and hubby doesn’t do stuff like that). I feel very comfortable not having to worry about the dome slipping. Plus it’s easier to take down and put up when I need to, which isn’t often (thanks goodness).

Oh yeah, I remember now the Flow Program option was a hit. I hope you will feel back to “Veena Normal” soon.

Did I see somewhere that a Nailed It Program for Aerial Shoulder Mounts was in the works? I looked but doesn’t look like it’s out yet. Or did I dream this? lol

Here is video of the new NX Xpole. Hopefully these are the screws you are talking about. My friend didn’t line up the key hole slot with vertical line on the pole. Once she did, was able to screw them flush and did not stick out. Start watching the video at about 14:50 or so. I hope this helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSm_fRPS_tk
