The closed to open hip splits rotations feel very unatural at the moment. I feel I need to rely a lot on my hands pushing into the blocks to make the rotation. Any suggestions on my form would be helpful

Hi I'm new to pole so first time posting here 😊 Although I am trying hard to pull the shoulders back in the invert I feel my chest is not yet as open and my hips not as high up to allow me to hook the knee easily to the pole. Is it just a matter of strength or am I missing some cues?
