THERE are a number of things that are more important than concentrating solely on increased flexibility. Here they are:
Becoming aware of your body and movements.
Relaxation of tense areas such as feet, hands, wrists, shoulders and jaws when stretching.
Learning how to find and control the right amount of tension in each stretch.
Awareness of lower back, head and shoulders and leg alignment during the stretch.
Listening to your body; and adjusting to changes, everyday the body feels slightly different.
Please do understand that stretching is not a flexibility contest. Therefore it should be done gently with care and ease.
Bearing the above in mind, one can continue with the lying down stretch, aimed at the stretching the inner thigh and leg muscles.
Exercise:
Lie on your back with the soles of your feet flat together. Let your knees fall apart.
Relax your hips and let gravity give you a very mild stretch in your groin.
Stay in this very relaxed position for forty seconds. Breathe deeply.
Let go of any tension.
The stretch feeling here will be subtle.
Close your legs. Repeat it three times.
Stay well. Keep on trying.
