    2 years in the making! My body is not mean to be flexible and I have such a long way to go but I couldn’t touch my toes before starting my flexibility journey. Now I’m here and although it has taken me a while I’m actually doing it and I’m so proud

    Thanks to everyone’s advice on my last post, I think I finally got my split with (I hope) squared hips!

    Backbend form check please! What can I do to keep my feet on the ground (and progress to a higher block config)?

    Been stretching and decided to see how close I am to front spilts. I have a ways to go lol. Any tips?

    Excuse the mess (still unpacking) but are my hips square on my right splits? My knee is on the ground.

    A strong core is not only about 6 pack abs or V taper cut. It's equally important for day to day activities. Do you agree?

    Shoulder mobility/pain issue

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 04:39 AM PST

    I lay on my back, extend my arms up towards the ceiling, then while keeping my arms straightened, I bend them towards the floor above my head.

    The back of my right hand touches the floor with ease. My left hand is a few inches off the floor. When I force it to touch the floor, it really hurts my shoulder and I have to release in a few seconds.

    I'd been told once that it was probably tight lats. I had massaged certain areas and it seemed to work in lowering my hand without pain. But usually whenever I try, I can't really pinpoint the spots or make much of a difference.

    I can lay on the foam roller, find general tight spots in my upper back, rear shoulder, under my armpit/lat when laying on the roller sideways.

    But which spot/stretch specifically addresses this shoulder pain?

    It's in the shoulder/rotator cuff when laying on my back and trying to touch the floor above my head with the left hand

    What's wrong and what should I do to fix this?

    Thanks for your help!

    How to know what muscles to work on?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 02:39 PM PST

    I've been doing yoga at home on an off routine for around two years. I wouldn't say I'm hugely flexible, but I can usually settle into poses quite easily.

    One of the major poses that I really struggle with is a seated forward fold - wide leg and straight leg, I just can't seem to do it and I'm not sure how to know what's holding me back! I can assume it's hamstrings, but some hamstring poses I can do quite comfortably, so is it possible it's more in my hips or back?

    Along with a seated forward fold, when doing pigeon pose I can never seem to get my front shin to square off (or even stretch even a little more to my hands!)

    How do you know what areas are holding you back and any tips for better results?

    Popping hip - stretching for splits

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 07:46 PM PST

    Hi all, so I decided to make getting the splits as one of my goals for this year, and since the beginning of this year I've been doing about a 30 minute splits stretch routine pretty much every day. I haven't been pushing myself too hard (only to the point where it is slightly uncomfortable), but after about a week and a half of this, with no issue at all, I noticed that my hip (specifically the right side) started popping when I would swing my leg out horizontally, and sounds almost as if it's coming out of place but doesn't hurt.

    At first I didn't think much of it because I have had random poppings in the past but they have always gone away just as quickly as they came. I haven't stretched or exercised in a few days because I thought a break might help to resolve this issue. However, it's been a few days and if anything it has gotten slightly worse, and although it doesn't hurt, it does leave a slight aching feeling. I googled it and thought it could be Snapping Hip Syndrome, but upon further research I found a video which said that the stretches I've been doing would help - yet it only started popping AFTER I started doing these stretches. I went to the doctor today who is concerned that if I over stretch my hip may dislocate, and suggested physio may help to gain strength (although I'm already a fit, active and healthy person). He said I may have to give up some of my flexibility in order to avoid injuring myself / dislocating a hip.

    I don't know what to do about this, and was wondering if anyone else on here has had a similar experience or any advice; I'm really bummed that I may have to give up my goal of being able to do the splits, because I thought that with time and patience I would get there no problem. I also do Muay Thai, so I thought it may help me be more flexible in my high kicks etc.

    TLDR: after stretching to get my splits my hip started popping (sounds almost as if it's coming out of place but no pain). Doctor is concerned I may have to give up some flexibility in order to avoid a dislocated hip etc. Hasn't gone away for a few days, looking for advice or someone with similar experience.

    Back hurts when stretching hamstrings

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 03:01 PM PST

    Ive made big gains in mobility in terms of my hips, quads and hamstrings with consistent stretching the past few months. I started with using stuff like kettlebell or massage gun to break up muscle knots that instantly increased ROM, and then spend 20 minutes or so doing lower body stretches at the gym 5 or 6 days a week.

    The most effective one I've found is i think the pancake (i scoot my butt up against a wall and spread my legs open as far as i can). However after doing for a while my lower back is fatigued, it doesn't hurt necessarily, but it feels like its getting a pump. Is this normal or is there anything i could do to alleviate this?

    I have horrible mobility, i just want to be able to do high bar squats ass to grass. Ive also noticed as im getting more flexible that i am able to recruit my glutes more in movements which should help me get stronger and prevent injury.

    Thanks in advance sorry if i rambled on.

    Bridge advice for beginner?

    Feet tingle in forward fold

    Posted: 11 Jan 2021 05:01 PM PST

    Pretty straightforward; I'm not able to really sit up straight with my legs straight out in front of me, and it hurts in the back of my knees, towards my calves. After about 10 seconds, my feet start to tingle.

    I also should note that I have some weird back issues, so that might be the cause. Anyone have any ideas why this happens and what I can do to stretch/correct this issue? Any ideas help! Thanks!
