There's this pose that you can do using a yoga belt. It's like this
spoiler
But instead you start out sitting up with your legs slightly apart and bent but feet together. It opens the hips up. As you get used to it, you bring your feet closer to your body. The good thing is you can go at your own pace. 2 minutes a day or 10 minutes a day it doesn't matter. You can also put blocks or cushions on the outside so your knees have something to rest on. It's a good gentle stretch before workouts.
Heeey that's a good one! Just gave it a try and I can feel where it would get easier with practice. Tyvm!
No worries. We used to do this stretch at the start of every yoga lesson and I could eventually do the above pose. Now days I need to choc my knees with blocks. Lol
Keep up the good work ๐
