    Need to start stretching, wondering where to start to address my symptoms

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 09:34 PM PST

    I've been feeling a pretty bad knot in my right hip/groin area that has been referring pain way down to the rest of my groin. Wondering what some effective stretches to work this area would be, beyond the simple lunge/squat

    Crazy progress after 1 session..

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 11:48 AM PST

    For years now Ive had really bad hips/adductors.. I've tried stretching before but found it did not really work.

    I did some research and found stretches that will specifically help me with my hips/adductors.. I build this info into a routine and did my first session on Saturday. I was in pain after for 2-3 days but today I realised the pain is a good 70% less! I have not been this pain free in YEARS.. I actually do martial arts to, so you can imagine how much this has hindered me.

    I will say though.. doing the exercises hurt but I pushed through and completed the routine, tonight I'll be doing it again.

    If anyone is interested in the routine message me, I'll post it when Im on my laptop.

    Daily flexibility partner / buddy via zoom so we do it together ? (maybe a group ?)

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 03:03 PM PST

    Okay so I see all these people stretching everyday even for like 20 mins (which is a minimum if you wanna properly stretch without injuring yourself) and I don't know how they have so much self discipline.

    I would probably do the same if I had someone to guide or who guides me. ( depends on who is motivated that day since we would do this daily haha ) I am thinking that if it is an open group... there is bound to have at least 2 people motivated to stretch if some really can't that day.

    If you're in the GMT+1 or close enough and willing to stretch before bed so maybe 9.30pm or 10pm (I like active stretching because it makes you strong too) via video calls like zoom, let me know. I want a fixed time so it becomes a routine.

    I'd say we should stretch for 30 mins (or 20 as you wish)? And maybe a quick 5 mins cool down for those who want to so we can sleep safe and sound straight afterwards ( I usually feel really sleepy after stretching and then "meditating" in the darkness closing my eyes feeling my body relax/sinking in the ground laying on my back focusing on all the body parts that had worked out / stretched with some meditation music on. ) But I never freaking do it unless I teach as my last class stretching.

    If people have bricks (or books), stretch bands, weights etc to help them... feel free to use them :)

    If we are multiple people, we can make a group chat.

    Personally I have my oversplits and could always improve but not my middle split (and that's my goal) + back and shoulder flexibility is something I need to really work on. I'd like intermediate/advanced exercises ideally so I can improve.

    It would be cool if there was experienced people or even teachers so we know what we are doing and help less flexible people too with alternatives of exercises :)

    Looking forward to see who is interested. We can start being 2 and see from there if there are any other people who joins in afterwards.

    1 Legged King Pigeon Pose possible if you have long torso and short legs?

    1 Legged King Pigeon Pose possible if you have long torso and short legs?

    Hi all! I've always been pretty flexible when it comes to forward bends and side splits, but my back flexibility has gotten fairly limited in the past few years. My goal is to do something like a 1 legged king pigeon pose (and similar poses-goal photo attached) on the lyra in the next year. All the photos I see are of very long legged folks who look like their backs are barely arched.

    I have short legs and a long torso, and am wondering if anyone with a similar build has achieved this (or similar poses) and has any advice for beginners?

    Thank you in advance!

    Front Split Tips

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 09:14 AM PST

    Hey everyone!
    I see a lot of questions regarding the splits, how to achieve them, how to train them, and how they work. I've created an online seminar you can access for free to respond to these questions.

    You can access it here: https://mailchi.mp/27881687c1e6/seminar-the-front-split

    I would like to receive your feedback on this one. Let me know and have a nice stretch!

    Elia.

    Whats a good routine that can get me good at long squats?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 12:59 PM PST

    My ankle mobility is ruining my squats

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 08:37 AM PST

    The title pretty much sums it all up. I love squats, but my ankle mobility restrictions are making it almost impossible to do it as effectively as I would like to. I have the classic "pinching in the front" problem, so my first thought when I realized this was to head to youtube and look up some exercises for it. I found the standard one where you put the resistance band around the front of the ankle to pull the talus back etc. etc. Im sure most of y'all know that. Now the problem with this is the following:

    When I do the exercise, the immediate effect is HUGE. After putting real high pressure on the band/my ankle and going at it for a couple minutes the blocking/pinching sensation is gone and I can basically shoot my knee across the room when I retest my mobility on the wall test. What makes it so frustrating though is, that I cant really transfer that mobility to the actual squat immediately afterwards. I got a shit ton of mobility on the wall test but if I try to initiate an actual squat its not "available" to that degree/to utilize. Just half an hour later or something the mobility (on the wall test as well) is completely gone and I basically start at the same shitty original point.

    I really feel like im losing my mind over this bullshit, in theory there must be a way to actually use this extra mobility and maintain it long term but maybe I just cant see it and I am forgetting an important piece to the puzzle....

    Im really hoping for some good tips and maybe someone who had the same problem and fixed it to chime in and share his secret

    Thanks in advance folks

    One leg pike question

    Posted: 30 Dec 2020 09:54 AM PST

    Hi, new here. I have tight hamstrings and was attempting to do the one leg pike. However, when I do it, a muscle in the lower part of my butt gets tight instead.

    I was wondering what that muscle was and if there was any isolation stretches I can do to stretch that muscle first.
