I have great news! The Remi sit doesn't have to be painful, yeah, for real! I'll show you the technique that will get you sitting pretty without having to smile through the pain. You'll learn this on static and spinning pole. You'll be using the Inside Knee Pit Grip.
Strengthens: ADDUCTORS / QUADRICEPS / HAMSTRINGS / TIBIALIS ANTERIOR / ABDOMINALS / CALF

Hi Veena! I can't keep my leg hooked :( most times, when I try to hook my leg, it falls. and when I'm able to hook my leg and I try to bend my other knee over my ankle, the pose falls apart. I've tried putting grip aid on the back of my knee and that helps with keeping the leg hooked but the pose always falls apart when I try to hook my other knee over my ankle. I hope that makes sense lol any help would be appreciated!
If you have a video I can troubleshoot much more effectively. Until then, can you do the Stargazer? https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/Stargazer-520/ It's a good one to practice before the Remi. If it's not lack of grip causing you to slip, it can come down to 2 issues. 1. You might need more mobility in your hips to allow you to both a) lift the leg up high enough while also b) externally rotating. 2. You might need more strength in the Hamstrings and adductors! This video will help you with that https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/leg-hook-crunch-893/
I will try but I have no grip on the titanium I have very.little grip. My house has to be the perfect temperature for me to grip But i.will.keep trying
Quancutie, if you can't place the leg up high enough it will hurt more and you will side. It's not going to work from pole sit, you have to hold the body away from the pole, so it would have to be a pole sit,then hold your self up with just the arms placing the legs in Remi
This still hurts but I can't help I keep sliding. I will have to practice from a pole sit to make it easier
Awesome Amelia, how to see a pic or vid!
Thank you for this one! The tip on putting the leg as high as possible led me to actually get a remi layback and a sort of one-handed remi bridge!
You've got this!
I really like that you cover different entry options and the spinning version too!!! Have to try that tomorrow 🥰
Hey Veena! I have a solid stargazer and cross knee release, but am having a funky issue with this move. Whenever I bring my crossing knee over the other foot, the weight seems to unhook my knee pit from the pole ? can you help me out? I've taken a video, will try and post it to my profile
I shared a video with some clips back to you!
