Instructions
Lying Sole to Sole Groin Stretch
Positioning
1. Starting Position: Lie flat on your back on a yoga mat or soft surface.
2. Foot Position: Bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together. Your knees should fall outward to the sides.
3. Arm Position: Place your arms at your sides or hold onto your feet for added stability.
Movement
1. Relax into the Stretch: Allow your knees to gently drop towards the floor. You should feel a stretch in your inner thighs and groin.
2. Breathe Deeply: Inhale deeply through your nose, expanding your belly, and then exhale slowly through your mouth. Focus on relaxing your body with each exhale.
3. Hold the Position: Maintain this position for 20-30 seconds, depending on your comfort level. You can gently push your knees down with your hands for a deeper stretch if it feels comfortable.
4. Release: After holding the stretch, slowly bring your knees together to return to the starting position.
Tips
- Ensure that your lower back remains on the ground throughout the stretch.
- If you feel pain instead of a gentle stretch, ease off and find a more comfortable position.
- This stretch can be repeated 2-3 times for maximum benefit.
