    Tripods can be helpful but also it really depends on if you’re wanting vertical or landscape/horizontal video. For the tutorials here I use landscape for flexibility tutorials like split’s because I have long limbs and vertical for pole work. Doing so allows for closer views for the pole work.

    It’s hard to say without seeing a video or the space.

    Mirrors work great in small spaces for filming when you can get your whole body in frame.

    I can understand why you’re disappointed. So I want to remind you that the programs levels 1-3 are still there, the only thing that is different is I’m not critiquing your videos. Almost everything I have you focus on in the programs was part of the certification.

    You can always send me a link if you want to make sure you’re doing something correctly or if you need help troubleshooting. I’m always willing to help someone.

    It was a free service that was very time consuming on my part and I hope everyone can respect my need to take a break at this time.

    Hi there! If you haven’t started from the beginning with me I always suggest starting by familiarizing yourself with my beginner level tricks, you don’t have to go through a beginner 30 day program. Instead I suggest sitting down and watching some of the beginner videos so you understand how I teach as it might different than most teachers. This should only take a few hours or day or two to familiarize yourself, then you’ll have a better understanding of how tricks build on each other. You might even discover which areas you’ll want to focus on.

    If you’ve already done some snooping on beginner tutorials here are some other places you might want to start given your current skills.

    – The spinning pole program is for all levels if you you’re wanting to learn that would be a good fit. https://www.studioveena.com/categories/30-day-spinning-pole-program/

    – If you just started working on inverts, the invert program is also a great way to enhance your current training or provide you with a solid workout plan that will improve your inverts. https://www.studioveena.com/categories/nailed-it-pole-programs/ This is also a good program if you’re inverts are skill hit or miss or if you have reoccurring pain.

    – If you’re looking for a guided program, watching the first video of any program will provide you with information on what you’ll be work on, or what you should know before starting a program. You can always start a program and switch to a more challenging or less difficult. Here’s an example of the Advanced level 1 program intro https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/advanced-level-1-welcome-free-1610/ Remember to read the descriptions too!

    If you don’t want to follow a program, then I suggest working through the intermediate tutorials, (even though you can do some of the tricks) if all of those are too easy, then head over to the advanced.

    What are you current goals? If you know, I can help you narrow things down even more.

    Hi there, I didn’t need any new top insert for my ball mount but I purchased mine several years ago so I’m guessing they may have changed. I wonder if the insert that comes with the poles now is too short?

    I would email xpole and inquire what’s needed.

    Maybe you can help me better understand. Are you saying you’re just working on random videos as a beginner? If so, I suggest following one of the programs because these will allow you to have rest days. They include strength and stretches that are needed as well. The pole strength routine is not a program. ????


    If you think it’s from pole pushes, can you please share a video link of yourself doing these? I can let you know if you’re not positioning the arm correctly, placing the hand too high on the pole can cause too much strain at the elbow and shoulder.

    Injuries are always a frustrating thing. I’m sorry that’s happening. Can you please explain what kind of injuries are suffering from this way I can better help you.

    Things like soreness, tiredness or feeling, tender do not necessarily mean you have injured yourself and it’s common when starting pole.

    Please let me know which program you have been using, the injuries that you suffered, what your doctor has said, and I’ll be happy to help you find a more suitable practice for your body.

    Here’s a video on injury prevention that might be helpful to watch as well https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/tips-for-injury-care-and-prevention-free-547/
