    I'm not very flexible in back so my hand is low but I'm super proud!

    Finally touched my head to my knees! I'm super happy. Any tips on straightening my back?

    Started training front splits one week ago. Sometimes worried I’m squaring my hips too much and over rotating. Sometimes get pain near my knee not sure if that’s just needing to be stretched out but I’m not forcing it.

    Seated forward fold struggles

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 06:14 PM PDT

    Hi,

    ​

    I've been doing yoga for 3 months and I thought as general flexibility improved that I would be able to do a seated forward fold. This has not been the case and with my legs in straddle I can't flex my torso past 90.

    I have put a pillow under my hips but I still seem to sag into posterior pelvic tilt. I've also tried standing but it doesn't seem to carry over much into seated fold.

    Any tips?

    Ankle mobility question

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 04:27 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I've been trying to improve my dorsiflexion for a while with little success, I've been stuck at about 3.5 inches on the knee to wall test for years now which impacts my ability to sit in a deep squat.

    My issue is when I'm in a bent leg position and try to dorsiflex by pushing my knee out of over my foot I don't really feel much of a stretch anywhere. I got my friend to do the same thing and he told me he felt a very strong stretch his gastroc, implying that it is his limiting factor and could make progress just by stretching the muscle over time. However, when I do it I literally don't feel a stretch anywhere, it's almost as if you were just trying to pull a steel pole apart from each end, there is just no give or stretch. I should also add that it is not painful or anything when I try this, and I do not have a this bony block pinching sensation that people often complain about at the front of the ankle (providing I keep my heel pressed into the ground).

    I'm wondering if it's the length of my Achilles heel that could be the limiting factor here due to the lack of stretch I feel? I had a yoga instructor tell me that the length of this pretty much genetically determined and can't really be changed at all through stretching since it is ridiculously strong.

    If anyone has been in the same boat as me before and managed to make some progress I'd be very interested in hearing what you did to overcome this

    Thanks in advance :)

    Pancake progress post - been 4months or so since my last post, but still haven’t improved! HELP

    Posted: 22 Jun 2020 06:43 AM PDT

    This is a continuation from my last pancake post, where I got lots of sage advice from you all.

    Since then, I've updated my imgur pancake photo album so you can see my current and past progress. I feel that I can definitely "bend" further into the pancake compared to before (attested by me being able to actually hold my feet) and I think my straddle angle has increased a tiny bit, but looking at my back it looks like my hips haven't budged an inch.

    It seems no matter what I can't get a decent APT (anterior pelvic tilt).

    Current routine looks like:

    • Tom Merrick's middle split PNF routine 2-3x per week

    • isometric Middle split holds (with PNF contractions)

    • standing and seated good mornings 3x 10-15 reps

    • seared pancake stretching sessions with some PNF stretching (4-5x per week)

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Is that normal? Could it be caused by stretching?
