[Natalyorigamiexpert]

[majela523]

[rougezebraa]

[TanjaWalker3296]

Trying to figure out how to do this.....once or twice i was successful, but it was not easy...if you would be so kind, what are the best hip "opening up" or flex exercises to perform on a regular basis to make this regularly possible? Thank you for your time.

[Melly2cute]

i cant do it!!, it wont go back!!, please help,

[GuamKomudo]

Well it probably takes a while practicing hip openers and many hip stretches. If I were you, and that was my goal, I'd do wide angle forward bend (Sit on the ground, with your legs in front of you spread as wide apart as they will go, and bend forward) make sure you bend forward with a straight back, bending from the hips NOT your back, this does almost nothing if you do it with your back, bend from the hips in every stretch.

@GuamKomudo its hard, my left legs feel strange i dunno why!!

[GuamKomudo]

I have the same thing. You have to find where in your left leg you are not as flexable. My left hip/buttcheeck is not as flexable as my right. You just have to work through it. If it HURTS then don't push it, and only you can know if you have a issue that needs a doctor or something. But most people have a leg/hip that is less flexable (mostly left cause most are right handed)I do martial arts,and my rear leg when I fight is my right leg, so I kick more with it, which made my left less felxable

Now i can fuck my girl with my leggs behind my head

[ElectroRain82]

[chocopuppy813]

My leg always finds a way to undo itself a few seconds after I finally get it behind my head :(

[muay2211]

you did like the leg is a piece of body which doesn't attach to your body. Awesome!!

It looks so beautiful and easy , when you speak and do that position. A real yoga goddess.

[ambroulard]

Your body collapses to the left- you don't lengthen enough through the left side ribs- (before doing the pose I mean- when your just sitting)

[Exermerina]

That looks so wrong
