I will add this to the quick lesson list! However, I JUST uploaded the Remi sit which is very similar! The concept for the top leg is pretty much the same only the bottom leg is moving into a different position. It may help you figure out the pose. I will say if you don’t have the strength to also hold the body weight with the bottom leg, then PULLING the top leg will put a lot of strain on the knee!! HOLDING it for extra security is ok but I would not suggest it as a way of teaching someone who is learning it the first time, because they need to understand that the bottom leg is as active as the top! Does that make sense?Also flexibility and limb length will determine if they can hold while laying back! Once they understand no to pull on the top leg holding is ok if you feel more secure.
Here’s the new lesson Remi sit https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5626bdc7-13fc-4ea9-ab76-74a30a9aa0eb
On an interesting side note: Once you get the concept of the Remi and Star gazer you can use a OUTSIDE knee pit grip for moves like the Orion! https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/52d4a79b-84d8-4cc2-9480-4bc50a9aa0eb

We have too much content to put on DVD and do not allow downloads. Have you tried to watch video here? If you’re able to watch user videos you’ll be able to view lessons. I’ve known many members who had their computer in a different room from their pole and still found the lessons very helpful. You could give them a try for 3 days free using this code GET3FREE. There are TONS of lessons (over 130) that do not require a pole but will help you build strength and flexibility!

Thicker poles requrie more hand strength so this is why it feels so much harder. Any size and finish can be worked with, it’s just a matter of learning, adjusting or strengthening what you need to in order to work with that particular pole.
I’m not sure how long you’ve been poling, but keep in mind that most spins are not beginner level because of the amount of strength needed in the hands, shoulders and core. Timing is also important when doing static spins so that might be part of the issue too. So short answer, don’t give up hope, do some strength and conditioning for the hands, forearms and shoulders, focus on strength building pole work and you’ll get those spins back soon!
If you’re interested I’ve got lessons for both of these spins and for conditioning and strength work. If you’d like to check them out use the code GET3FREE for 3 free days access to the lessons. I know you’ll love them 💜

Bondage tape does grip super well! I’ve also suggested it (years ago) when someone wanted to have the grip of heels without the heels! hehe 🙈 If you have a sore be sure to cover it with a bandage first because the tape doesn’t breathe!!! Still the best thing you can do is work on your climbing technique!

I hope you are enjoying the take off program! Sounds like you’re headed in the right direction 😊😊

I think you’ll like the lil mynx, and honestly any finish can be worked with and the more advanced you are the better your ability to work with any finish, so you don’t need to necessarily upgrade! You may want a difference size/diameter pole just because it can be nice to try smaller sizes. Since you’ll have warm humid weather stainless should work well for you! When purchasing grip aids to reduce sweat avoid things like itac and . The are great grip aids but not meant for sweat! 🙂 Have fun with your new pole and take a photo with it for us!

Hooked, just make sure you have your periscope set to receive notifications when I broadcast. That way anytime I pop on you’ll know. Like last week I was at the beach and turned it on…it was fun!

Do you have a video of yourself trying? This can make it easer for us to see whats going wrong. Also are you making sure to come up and in towards the shoulder of the bend arm? Before you push up do you feel level and centered with the shoulders, are you coming into it from an inverted crucifix and does your grip between the knees feel super solid?
If you’re interested check out my lesson here, you’ll find a list of moves and strength work to focus on helping you accomplish this. They are always posted below the main player and labeled as “related” lessons! https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cc97c20-7e0c-47ee-8303-49360ac37250

Welcome! Yoga and pole are such a great mix! I always suggest learning new moves without heels and then using the heels once you’ve become more comfortable with that move, but I think floor work always feels better with heels! lol When I go out I almost always wear flats, I save the heels for workouts, haha.
There are a few lessons here for strengthening the feet that would help with wearing heels. You can get 3 days of access to check them out using this code. GET3FREE!!
