Hey, hey! A new class has been added. This one is all about Pole Climbs and the Crucifix. As always, we start with our warm up, then move into our trick practice, followed by a fun choreography using everything we covered!
Here’s the link https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/pole-climbs-and-crucifix-class/

More resources are always welcome! I know I’ve had a hell of a time finding anything useful. 💜

There isn’t much about post menopause other than the same advice about diet and knowing yourself applies. It’s an ok RANT IMO.

Episode 10 is up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_RHQholLn8
Here’s the link for my 30 minute hips and pelvis routine https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/hips-and-pelvis-routine-live-lesson-1810/?current-category=49
Here’s a breakdown of what I’ve found has help me:
1. Spending time in the sun and nature.
2. Avoid prepackaged foods, if I do eat them, I check the ingredients and always choose whole grains.
3. Eat very little sugar.
4. I eat more protein than before, including tofu and non dairy yogurt for gut health.
5. Eat to prevent inflammation, I love real ginger tea and sauerkraut.
6. I use cannabis in the evening for sleep, inflammation and muscle recovery.
7. Journal to find patterns in my cycle and life.
8. I find ways to regulate my nervous system. Mediation, music, playing guitar, hugging my dog etc.
9. I no longer “identify” as a woman in perimenopause, but I still honor my bodies changing needs.
10. TARGET TRAINING MY JOINTS! Before this I was having a hard time sleeping because my joints would feel like they’re about to fall off my bones! It was so uncomfortable.
I’m fully aware that I’m just beginning the process of moving into my next phase of life so by no means I’m I stating to be an expert. This is not medical advice. I’m also not trying to downplay anyones struggles or experience with perimenopause and menopause. I know when hormones are not balanced they do very crazy things as I experienced this with my birth control struggles, you feel totally out of control. I did feel like I was living in a different body until more recently when I changed my diet and perspective.

Hello! I can help as I have a two tutorials for it one of them teaches you how to enter from off the pole. It’s called the Bow and Arrow https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/bow-and-arrow-1161/
The other I teach you how to lift your body from the floor into the pose, it’s called the Iguana and Iguana mount https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/iguana-and-iguana-mount-pencil-1160/
I suggest starting with the first one.

You’ll be learning two ways to grip with the arms along with some really exciting low pole exits. If this pose isn’t working for you,…

It really is what you make of it around them.
Funny story, two nights ago my 3rd oldest asked if he and a few friends could use our yard (he has his own apt) to have a bonfire and hangout. We said of course. Well they didn’t come over until late and my husband and I were asleep we stayed asleep throughout the bonfire. At about 2 am I heard a weird noise coming from below our home (where my studio is). It took a minute, but I soon realized they were playing around on my pole hahah.

Episode 9 is up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-smIQYXvW-E
Oh boy, this video is a long one, as I cover pregnancy, postpartum and parenthood as a pole dancer.
This is not medical advice. Always speak to your health care professional about your pole dance training.
Learn more about how I approached pole dancing while pregnant: https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/… This video is from my teacher training course, which is FREE!
Here are a few example of how to have fun with your kids as a pole dancer! This link https://www.studioveena.com/members/v… will take you to a few video of my boys when they were very little. We would have Pole Jams and just get silly taking turns on the pole. We even used the pole to workout as a family. And you’ll find a few video of my boys playing instructor for both hula hooping and pole.
This link is one of my favorite memories with all four boys and myself dancing to Rock Lobster https://fb.watch/y0hu4xcCmx/
No pole program: https://www.studioveena.com/categorie… This 30 day program is great for those who just started pole dancing, only to find out that you’re expecting. It’s also a great option if you have been cleared for exercise after baby. I also have wonderful strength exercises and routines you can use to help you maintain your strength while pregnant. Most do not require a pole! If you need help finding anything feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to help you.
Last I’m also including a 15 minute video compilation of my personal journey from pregnancy to postpartum. https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/veenas-pregnancy-and-postpartum-journey/?current-category=72

Great! A little bruising now and then is normal, excessive bruising should be addressed 🙂

You’re doing a lot of pulling in the level you’ve started so that’s why you feel it in the lats so much right now. I nice warm up is always good, but you can do things after training that can help too.
This under arm massage can be done before and after training https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/under-arm-massage-1506/ or anytime of day when you want relief.
I have more ideas and tips for recovery in RANT number 4 if you haven’t seen it yet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK4L87-It8w

Episode 8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSESFpkTKnE
I understand this is a sensitive topic that invokes strong emotions, so my goal with this video is not to drive a wedge further between us. I hope we can develop an understanding of how much stronger we’d be if we supported each other. Love you all. xoxox

Well I’m pretty certain I’m in perimenopause, I’ll be 48 this year and my cycle has been doing odd things when it’s always been like clock work. I’m also hypermobile and suddenly experienced issues with loose joints which can happen during peri, but goes away after menopause. There’s not a lot of quality information on menopause overall, but I do have some thoughts. Not sure I know enough to be helpful though…maybe?
I’ve changed my diet and started training differently a bit and things seem to be back to normal for the most part. So maybe sharing those changes could help others.

Yay. Any topic requests?

Yay, I’m glad you’re enjoying them!
