One thing I found was that when I was turning my knees in to try and make the grip better, my left knee felt like it was going to pop so I had to stop so I didn’t injure myself. It felt a little weird afterwards too… I’m not sure if I just turned it in too much? Has anyone else experienced this? My poor old knees I need them nice and strong so I can master this CAR! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/alien.gif
Hannah, when you were turning your knees towards each other, didn’t your legs turn in which closes the gap at the thighs for tighter grip? I can’t picture how only your knees turned without whole legs turning inward also. I find that turning in just enough for grip at thigh to be there. But yes, be careful to not hurt yourself. I love your profile pic, by the way!
thank you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif My legs did grip the pole a bit better (now you’ve pointed it out I just realise how funny it sounds if my knees turned in indepentantly from my legs!! haha https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops.gif ) But because my knee started to hurt I didn’t feel I could release my body down without it hurting even more. Also as I tipped my legs up the burn underneath the top of my thighs was paiiinful! Felt like I was sitting to high although when i was in the pole sit and tried to position the pole further away from my lady parts in preparation for tipping my legs up, I felt like I was going to fall off https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

I’ve been struggling with the CAR too… CKR is fine but CAR is not happening! I read through all of the replies to this thread and tried all the techniques and I did get a little closer… I actually ended up being ale to do the advanced plank for the first time so not all bad! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

I’m the same in that I want to be more flexible in my back… I was actually going to post a thread about it but then found this https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I did the cobra pose today as I’ve heard before that that’s a good back stretch, but found it felt more like it was stretching my tummy and not my back, also when I stopped the base of my spine felt funny so i must have done it wrong somehow https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_neutral.gif Does anyone know how you can ensure you do this pose correctly and also how long are you suppose to hold the pose?

Helllo https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I’m new here too and also from the UK, near Cambridge. Yey glad there are some more UK ladies here…. hopefully there will be some local(ish) pole jams sometime https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
