    Isn't it weird to feel your head touch your leg?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2020 05:07 AM PDT

    Closest yet: but still not ! Two years ago I was about 8 or 9 in. when I began training for flexibility. I still haven't gotten to touch both feet to my head .��. Any drills, anyone ?

    A new drill: back leg higher, this helped me a lot, in getting my head closer to both feet (result in next video)

    What's the best position to sit in a chair at a desk?

    Posted: 30 Oct 2020 05:38 PM PDT

    Recently been having some sciatic pain down my left leg. Had an MRI and it all came back clear, so I feel it's my piriformis. Hopefully. I got a herman miller aeron recently and I'd like to be able to sit in a half lotus while working. Is that good for me? I'm really inflexible at the moment, especially my lower half, so I'd like to make sure I'm in a good position while working. Thanks for any info

    I was finally able to do a split after months of stretching, only to loose my splits the very next day.

    Posted: 30 Oct 2020 11:30 AM PDT

    I started doing yoga and working on my splits March of this year. Within five/six months of continuous everyday stretching, I was able to finally do a split. The very next day I wasn't able to repeat it. It's been two months since then and I still haven't been able to do a split again. I stretch everyday, sometimes twice a day, yet I still can't do it again. Each time I stretch my muscles are always sore but I try to push past the pain.

    What could be the reason for this and how can I get myself to do a split again? Is it possible I'm over doing it by stretching every day?

    hitch in stretching? what is this?

    Posted: 30 Oct 2020 06:48 PM PDT

    Excuse me if this is a bit of a beginner question, but I noticed my body does a specific thing when stretching and wondered if anyone knows the explanation. Here, to be concrete, I do child's pose a lot to try to get over a slightly torn hamstring tendon. And for lack of a better way to describe it, I have a left child's pose and then a right child's pose. When I lean a little left, I crack one way and when I lean a little right, I crack the other way. Almost as if there is a tight string down my back that won't let me sweep left and right smoothly.

    Same as in a lotus pose. I can push my hip up and down, up and down. It can stretch in two positions but something in between won't let it move smoothly. It does a sort of "lunk" and lands in one of two positions, with the thigh pointing more up or pointing down, but a lot of resistance in between.

    I'm sure others' bodies have these little spots of resistance depending on injuries and stuff?

    So what is this basically? Is this normal? How can I find out more and is just a beginner issue that disappears with more regular stretching?

    Thanks for your expertise?!

    Hip feeling jammed on a daily basis?

    Posted: 30 Oct 2020 07:00 AM PDT

    I've just very recently started taking my flexibility training in a serious manner, been hacking away at it for 1.5 months now.

    I've been noticing my right hip has been constantly jammed since I started working on my flexibility. I can open my left hip really smoothly but the right hip will always get stuck. I'll have to stop and pop my hip before I can even try opening it. A few hours after popping it will get back into its natural 'jammed' state again.

    ​

    My right side is also the side with weaker range of motion, if it means anything.

    ​

    Just wanted to check if this is some kind of rite of passage or if I should raise this to a doctor asap? I don't want to risk damage.

    ​

    Thanks!

    Pants (male)?

    Posted: 30 Oct 2020 06:43 AM PDT

    So doing my stretching I've started to be irritated on my pants. Either they get stuck and I have to constantly twist/get them unstack or the seams are riding up into places they shouldn't be. So any tips on pants "made for stretching"?
