Does your forward fold look like this? |

[@liliann872]

Thank you, I used to be so flexible but thrown my disk few years ago and after that I’m struggling so bad with hamstring stretches

[@Embracemasculinity10135]

Thats why I love yoga videos

[@emilyloomis6393]

Me too! I was at a dance competition and I partially tore my hamstring about half a year ago and my flexibility is terrible now

[@elsacurran7489]

Yep, same

[@Hatsumi1993]

Same! I'm still recovering

[@animalsmyheart783]

Same but I am still quite flexible and I can touch my face on my knees...

[@Turo_Oikawa]

The way my jaw DROPPED. just an hour ago I wanted to be able to stretch like that and now im finding this video

[@delulufemale]

The phone's are always listening

[@udontknowmeno]

KZbin got you😅

[@Proskater134]

Same for me! But I didn’t even talk about it or look it up. Sometimes I feel like my phone is just reading my thoughts

[@randomstrangeroninternet5348]

We need update, did this technique helped?

[@islandsunset]

​@@randomstrangeroninternet5348this won't help in a day or two. Years of unstretching made your muscles tighten there. It would take months of stretching to get ot flexible.

[@artwithash]

Omg, I always wondered why I can't do this when I can standing. No one ever told me to rock forward onto my sit bones. Thanks!!!

[@krystalnguyen3285]

Gosh when I found up that sitting bones exist, it makes so much sense

[@claraberg1214]

Same! This just helped so much I gotta go try that now and see the difference!! 😂😅

[@mushroom__princess]

RIGHT?! i just thought i was too chubby 😭😭😭

[@Lee_loo_naa]

I can do this pose properly ( like touching the chest to knees).... This is one of the easiest yoga poses.

[@lindseymorgan5279]

For the first time in my life I feel seen with my struggles in forward folding! I have always had very tight hamstrings despite working out my core a lot- especially how I trained a lot several years ago. Recently I have been strength training more powerfully again and naturally started tilting my pelvis forward and experienced this shift on my own- but hearing it and seeing it demonstrated like this felt so good to know I was heading in the right direction without creating an injury or something. Thank you so much for this!

[@Nature4U1]

More like this please! As a not flexible person is so difficult to know how to do yoga without forcing the body in the wrong direction

[@dianerose2998]

I was never told about this pelvic rock to assist in this stretch. It absolutely helps! Huge difference, thank you!

[@marias.514]

OMG after 29 years of not knowing today I could! Thanks you so much!!

[@CynicalLight]

Thank you, I only follow yoga videos that have alternative poses for people with less mobility, and you got yourself a subscriber with this short.

[@roxanne_george]

Great advice, thank you so much!❤

[@spacefan36]

OMG!! Now I get it, you are the first person ever to be able to help me in this!! -_-

[@ohyesshecane]

Thank you! I have not seen an explanation this thorough before- can’t wait to try it out during my next stretch session!

[@krystalnguyen3285]

I watched a video, not yours, that was critiquing exercises and some of them looked like ones that I were doing. He said they were ineffective and didn't work anything. I got really sad and felt like I did and tried for nothing and that I failed. I'm very glad to have found your video. It really brightened my day. I'm not really flexible and am working on that so this gives me some hope that I'll make it to my final fitness goal. Thanks so much!

[@LDelight77]

They need a folder blanket under the sit bones help as well. That lift makes a big difference

[@jazzmetalaudiophile]

Omg, that helped tremendously. Thank you so much 🙏.

[@aannawilliams7385]

Describes me exactly. Thank you for the tip

[@ReggaeWonderland]

Thanks! This is very helpful!💜😊

[@kekehehedede]

really makes a huge difference for me. thank you!

[@xxcnd83xx]

I love a good forward fold 😊 When I started yoga, I couldn't even touch my feet, but now, after months and months of practice I can rest my whole chest on my thighs. It's crazy to me that my body can actually do this. I was almost 40 when I started, I never thought my flexibily could improve as much as it has. Of course I'm still struggling with a lot of poses (chauranga is my nemesis, my elbows just won't bent the right way), but the fact that I'm seeing improvements makes me proud of myself, for getting on my mat each day and not giving up. If you're like me, in your late 30s and you think of starting yoga, just do it, I promise it would do you good. Just start slow, 15 min a day. We can all find 15 min in our day and once you create the habit, it's in your routine and you can't stop :)

[@cillamoke]

Thank you Bub ❤

[@yourfavoritgremlin]

Omg this is so HELPFUL! TY

[@kiaharper7172]

It DOES! THANK YOU

[@jimohagan]

Omg this is amazing! Thank you!!!

[@shyamalimango]

Thank you so much. This change helped a lot

[@jkkmendes]

This is soooo helpful. Thanks!

[@kasvinimuniandy4178]

Yesss!!! This is soo meeee!! Thank youu

[@greyladydamiana]

Ohhh 😮 good to know because that’s definitely me

[@echo1679]

I used to do your challenges!!! Glad I found your shorts ❤

[@justheretolistentothemusic]

Oh my this is a revelation to me, thank you so much for this!!

[@dorisnamondo97]

I was in bed when i watched this. Jumped off, grabbed my yoga mat and tried this....huge difference 👍TFS. I also did other stretches while i was there.

[@chikaboww0w]

Shout out to the algorithm for answering this question i asked IN MY MIND earlier today 😅

[@Ch8t]

Thank you for solving this problem. That’s the problem I always have and you solved it.❤

[@Naatta]

Thank you! When I do not do yoga for a while this is EXACTLY what happens and I never really knew why. This makes sense!

[@Elizabeth-pd4sd]

Great explanation - thanks!

[@kobeniSlayz]

THIS HELPED SO MUCH

[@angelicajacobs584]

Thank you for this!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@unprodigal87]

Thank you!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@BudgetandGrow]

Yupp that’s exactly how I look lol. I’ll be trying this tomorrow morning ❤

[@dianam152]

Putting your arms up also helps, then fold. It helps with the "up and over" instead of just over.😊

[@srijith689]

Thank you so much and upload videos more for beginners and to overcome the challenge to do the pose.

[@alraieducationandhealthwel5563]

😮 this is my silent wish granted. Thank you. Show me more

[@YourRoyalMajesty.]

I've been doing it wrong my whole life!! Gym teachers even damaged my hamstrings, slamming me downward. So I just thought I couldn't do it. I'm definitely going to start doing this more! It has really helped!! Thank you!! (Addressing the Gym teachers: it was the early 90s, no one cared about stuff like that and i was a young child so no i didnt sue. Please don't tell me to. Those gym teachers are deceased, deserve to rest in peace and i dont hold their mistakes against them. Niether should you. Thanks! )

[@beeankha]

Thank you!!

[@phuongquyet1989]

thank you so much. I struggle with that pose all time . Now its much more easier ❤

[@eternalbliss5896]

Perfect explanation wth wrong n right. Subscribed. Thanks

[@Dallastown6]

Omg! I fell in love

[@davecarter1047]

Well, I'm going to have to subscribe, excellent advice thank you

[@iamthewotahthatbamgyuspito9033]

as a yoga student, i like how she really nicely explained the process of the forward fold on the floor or as we call it paschimotanasana, the true forward fold position is when we sit down with straight legs with a straight back and then you raise your arms and then bend so that your abdomen touches the thighs then you touch your chest then the noses on your knees, to get this position we recommend rock back and forth from the fold while on the ground, Hope it helps!😊

[@allenvasher5358]

That was very helpful thank you

[@Sruthiorcallmeyours]

I was actually able to do it without any difficulty. Amazing tips ❤

[@einabq]

Can’t wait to try. I was already in bed when I saw this!

[@aclearlight]

It DOES help, thank you!

[@Fieldsofsage]

I couldn’t touch my toes forEVER. I tried and every time it would hurt so much. I started stretching every morning and I can touch them now! One of those simple pleasures. Along with touching my toes I have great leg and hip mobility so I can sit and get in weird child like positions that I use for my stimulation. Super super awesome.

[@1509rachy]

I think you’re wonderful 🙏🏻☺️

[@Softscorpi0]

Thank you omg!!

[@xyincognito]

yes, all three for me

[@SundayMourningLove]

Thank you for helping us not so flexible people! 😅

[@heyu123]

I wasn’t able to touch my toes for decades and after daily yoga for 6 months I’m folding like a PBJ sandwich 😅

[@queengrey4054]

I‘m struggling with this too - and specific exercises/stretches you did that helped you?? I would rlly appreciate any recommendations for stretches / yoga rountines or positions!

[@bichybiki]

Same to the above comment, would love to know more

[@myoxo]

Do u have any tips for beginners

[@screechingcat]

i’ve been doing yoga since 2019 and im as flexible as a rock what am i doing wrong 😭

[@alexandraaikonika]

Please recommend how to start I have badly ripped my hamstrings couple years ago, now zero strecth

[@mostfrozenburrito]

THANK YOU!!!!! I was literally just doing that stretch and couldn’t!

[@disturbedwonderland]

Thank you.

[@tenderness5035]

You have a beautiful smile ☺️

[@bulent2435]

That looks good. I'll try it asap.

[@Funkytvdude]

Oh wow!! I'll have to try this. I did dance for four years, and not once did my dance teacher clarify how to do it properly. Thank you!! It will be much easier to do that scretch now ^-^

[@eeee4161]

I love your little scootch at the end 😅❤

[@evelien1546]

This is the first time in my life I've ever been able to do this, thank you so much ♡

[@Nashtastic999]

Where has this been my whole life!?!?!? 🤯🥹✨🫶🏽

[@emma-511]

Amazing, thank you!

[@MinyetteB]

Thank you 🙏🏿

[@ewelinaskowronska6219]

Love it!

[@ana419]

Great explanation and illustration! Also, you can stretch hamstrings at barre or flat on back doing leglifts.

[@aliheartzuphrakonkham3005]

Oh wow I didn't even think about it like that!!! Rotate/rock pelvisssss

[@blueshoes915]

Thank you so much for explaining this and giving an example of what to do to correct it. I thought I was the only one who couldn’t do this.

[@kueichenglee7583]

Thank you

[@meganelise277]

I saw a similar video about a month ago and it seriously makes such a huge difference! I’m getting so much deeper in my forward folds than I ever have, the difference was instantaneous 🙌

[@julieallen1213]

I’m new to any sort of exercise and I’m so intimidated by yoga but I want to try it so much. Thank you for this. It helps more than you know.

[@Rosiee._.21]

Finally I found a tutorial. My dance teachers never explained me how I should do this exercise and I always used to end up doing it wrong all along.

[@malars1358]

Nicely explained. Thanks!

[@pyryko]

Thankyou so much

[@kevinwoodrobotics]

Great cues!

[@violetmoon397]

Omg help me more ! I need way more help then this short alone! Please make a full corrective posture practice video

[@lyeduca1074]

Thanks 😊

[@geraldineloo2992]

Super helpful!! thanks a bunch. I always got problems with seated folding forward and standing forward fold. Maybe am a bit competitive or embarrassed during yoga sessions when majority of students can do it

[@user-pg2fv7pv7g]

Thank you so much. I Always wondered why this happened.

[@catherinewitt6782]

For me, that's an easy stretch. When I was in high school, we had to participate in the "Presidential Fitness" tests. So we had to sit on the floor with our feet touching the side of a wooden box with a ruler attached to it. We were to sit with our feet touching the box. The end of the ruler was touching the wall on the opposite side of the box. I had to repeat the test twice after the first try. Why? They had to move the box back from the wall twice before my fingertips didn't touch the wall. 😂

[@elaineduff5823]

Oh thanks for that , gonna try that next time I do yoga 😊

[@RileyInTheBox]

This is really great. Ive been having this exact problem and now have 0 questions how to fix it. Very informative. Thank you

[@parighapatil]

Thanks for sharing

[@French_Toast]

After a few months of starting gymnastics late, I can do that with my elbows on the floor

[@boiteg1908]

very helpful, thanks

[@Davo-nj4dm]

That rocking pelvis got something else rocking too!🎉

[@robertreyes5036]

My belly gets in the way 😂

[@shaquicedacosta]

I open my legs a little and sit on a block so there's room for my belly. Basically, a lot of "yoga during pregnancy" poses.

[@wi8shad0w]

Thanks 🙏

[@BethanyKabir]

amazing!!!

[@Sophia.fun.]

Tbh it’s the total opposite for me when I’m at dance and we’re stretching my dance teacher will go ok now nose to your knee and hold and my nose is on my shin and I’m barely feeling anything when everyone els is struggling

[@annaowings6304]

It does thank you 😮❤

[@sonali1920]

Wow.. I could do it. Thanks so much ❤❤

[@beckiehastings1589]

That does help!!!

[@freestylenz11]

actually very helpful 😂😂..exactly what i was looking for but better , thanks

[@kayisess]

This is me. I cannot do forward fold. Years back my yoga instructor asked me to do the yogasan and I simply laughed that I am made of rock. Thank you This seems helpful.will try

[@Mandrake_root]

I remember as a kid trying to touch my toes, people said it didn't count if you bent your knees, and no matter how often I stretched, I never could reach further. My family doctor even yelled at me over it saying I'd have back problems if I didn't fix this. Fast forward a decade and a half when I started working out and lifting, and wow it's way easier to progress to touching your toes if you stretch with your knees bent, however bent they need to be at the time. As long as you feel the stretch, it's enough.

[@Yo-cr9ol]

thank yoooou
