Hi! Let’s do some troubleshooting.

A video would be super helpful, You can either directly upload to your profile and copy and paste the link in this thread or upload a video on FB YT IG anyplace you can get a link from and copy and paste it here as well.

From what you wrote. It sounds like you might just be trying to move into the sit too quickly. Have you watched my tutorial for the Pole Sit? https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/5e73a77a-82b0-46ef-bf20-3d16ac110005

If you’re having trouble trying to keep the legs straight, you can do the same thing but with the knees bent. All poles spin very differently, some you need more sweep of the leg and others almost nothing. Again seeing you attempted it would be very helpful.

Here’s another video that might be helpful https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/60d26886-1dd4-40c1-8aa5-1f3fac110005
