FREE Forearm Sit Tutorial
Once you can accomplish a Pole sit and have a solid Pole hold you can begin working on this move. Sometimes you may need to adjust the positioning of the top hand, placing the hand higher or lower. It will be different for every person and that’s ok. As I mention in the tutorial, you’re not actually sitting on the wrist!
NOTE: If this bothers your hand/wrist then come back to it once hand and forearm strength has improved. This is a fun trick but not one you must know, if you want to skip it that’s ok.

I have been working on this move, but i keep ending of on my wrist/thumb and it hurts my thumb 🙁
Aiming for sitting near the elbow might help.
Hi Veena, I tried this a couple times and I noticed that I immediately start sliding down the pole once I open my legs for the extension/straddle. Any advice?
Often its sweaty hands, dry hands or weak hands. It can also be how your positioning yourself. If you’re able to send me a video that’s always most helpful. You can post the link here or send it to cert@studioveena.com if you don’t want anyone else to see the link.
Or you can directly upload from your profile here and post the link
