Wow sounds like everybodys doing great! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif The knee hold is something I haven’t tried to hard to get so far as find very painful to attempt, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif but hope to start on that once have got some other things down Great job on the Jade split https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif that is one of the moves I really want to get I can "sit" on the pole upside down (picture sitting on floor w/legs straight in front crossed at ankles but upside down on the pole ) dont know if can get into Jade that way…
Will def have to work on flexibility as would like to get legs straight as possible https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I just got the star recently things i can think of that might help is to remember to really grip hard with your leg like trying to to touch your foot to your butt to get a really strong grip, of course be sure you or your pole are not slippery (lotion/oil/sweat) and bracing your other foot against the pole really helps have you tried in boots? sometimes I use boots when trying something that requires a hold like that (vinyl material really has a great grip on the pole) until I build the strength to do it without (like when first started on spinny mode could only do moves with boots on but now don’t need them) hope this helped somewhat.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif
