this hurts my knees more than dancing

[OBrien19]

im lookin for some hip openers to improve my flexibility for kicking, In the past i got some great results from the butterfly stretch but my knees started to ache so I stopped for a while and never started again. I put it down to doing to much too soon and having poorly conditioned legs. Its been about 3-4 months with no knee pain so im going to start over. I usually hold the butterfly for about 15-20 min a day once warmed up. Is knee pain normal? any other hip openers u can recommend? any tips?

[OBrien19]

has this had any negative effects on your body? i mean problems running or walking or playing sports?

[anakrousis]

@OBrien19 Not really...a lot of Kandasana work does make (over)splits a little harder...kinda changes the orientation of the hips somewhat.

Does it hurt when you stretch?

[Insaneymaney]

I totallyyyy wish I could do that beginning trick!! One at a time I can bring my legs in like that, but not at the same time. ):

[Amaizying]

....whoa.

[nmsll]

yeah, my friends get freaked out just by me making my arm look broken, but then again, at least it would be hard for a person to break my arm :D

[megamim972]

This is absolutely astounding. I am taken aback. Pushing the human beyond it's limits is such an amazing thing! You have such mastery. I am humbled by your skilled nature. You inspire and entrance me:]

Peace
