    Is the Remi Extreme the same as the Remi Backbend?  If so, there's a picture of it in my profile.

    I think they're calling the "Remi Extreme" the Remi Bridge now.  https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

    Remi exteme would be arching your back and grabbing the pole over your head?

    @Brumby- yes. Check out RikiL's pics- she has an awesome one that shows this move perfectly. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

    Sorry to revive this post, but does the pain actually get better with time? Because the pole is against your ankle bone, isnt it?

    If you are doing this move correctly, all the pressure should be against the back of the thigh of the high leg – NOT your ankle. Your ankle will touch the pole but won’t be bearing any real weight.

    I think what fixed it for me was really hooking the pole into my knee, and that transferred all the weight to my thigh and bottom ankle would just be..there. I hope that was correct.

    Except after a couple practices, now I'm not quite sure how to position myself to allow my knee to get a good hook on the pole. I can hold myself away and hook my top leg, but then when i swing my other leg to cross over, I lose it, and the pole ends up between my top calf and my bottom ankle, which was causing me the pain in the first place.
