Hi PoleAdventures!
I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through. I had a herniated disk a year ago and I couldn’t exercise for almost four months. No exercise at all, no yoga, no stretching, no riding a bike… even going shopping for food was difficult because I couldn’t carry anything. No typing on a computer, no writing by hand.. my…

I have no great medical knowledge but I had a herniated disc last year. I couldn’t move for several months and went seeing one physical therapist after another (I didn’t want to have surgery or injections) but noone could help me. UNTIL I found the right one. An osteopath. And after the first appointment the pain was almost gone. What I…

Ah, I just saw you purchased the lessons!
Have a look at this intermediate routine from Veena: https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/52f98a8c-4dc8-448b-9554-50120a9aa0eb
Lots of ideas in this that you can use, also for transitioning to the floor and back up. Just take out the sexy bits and make them ballet-like, because of your mom…

Of course! Stretching counts! :)))
Saw your video, I love it. Moving around and up and down the pole seems to come naturally to you. You will be doing great, just keep practicing on this track.
If any questions come up during your creating a routine, be them general or specific, feel free to ask… and don’t forget to film your ideas, this…

Gemini! That’s awesome! So you could try going from v invert into gemini, then into inverted crucifix and plank out. This is not super easy but you could try… Looking forward to seeing your video!

Hi Wennajo!
I agree with LabCobra, I would focus on the tricks I have and make them beautiful instead of trying to learn all kinds of new stuff.
Have you watched this?

I have been pole dancing for little over 2 years, have no dancer background and I also dream of doing the front splits. (I literally dream about it from time to time…. I have done various splits routines too (including Veena’s), however, strangely I feel that I am progressing faster if I don’t stretch for splits at all. I stretch to…

Not an expert either, not at all. But I’m working on improving my floorwork as well. What helps me is watching other people do floorwork and finding out what I like, then just doing it and videotaping myself. Mostly the things I feel silly about doing are the things that look silly in the end. What I found out is the effect of a movement is…

This is an interesting article, thanks for sharing. I’ve heard similar things before, so maybe there’s some truth to it… I think what you are ‘missing’ in the shown ‘correct’ way of stretching is that the picture shows only the starting position for the stretch. If you’re more flexible your back leg will be further back. This is how I…

I have never taken a pole dancing class in a studio. I am perfectly happy with learning from Studioveena exclusively. Everything is covered, everything is so thoroughly explained, the lessons are in progressive order, you can ask any questions that come up… I have never injured myself and also feel I am making good progress. I wouldn’t worry.…
