The bed tip is great. My ankles thank you!

[@serendipitytwo777]

So jealous when I see lil kids do this so easily 😩

[@mrbobjrsrv]

You can do it too! Just keep trying until you get it!

[@droptopp3479]

Lol i was dping these on my bed before seeing this video. It def does help the ankles from hurting so bad compared to the floor

[@merlinowen270]

I subscribed to the science of stretching program and practiced this move weekly for several weeks (very gradual, never got to lying back) As a result I now have horrible knee pain when I apply any side load (ie sitting cross legged). I can't recommend.

What is the difference between this pose & hero pose?

[@caffeineisking8132]

Ia there a reason why I can't get anywhere near sitting ? I'm 31 now but even as a teen I couldn't get close either

[@YOGABODY.Official]

Hey caffeine is king, there are plenty of reasons why. It could be due to (1) lack of use (weakness/stiffness), (2) overuse (pushing too hard), or most commonly, a combination of both. With stretching any part of your body, the key is consistency in daily practice to make your way toward sitting between your heels in lightning bolt pose.

🎉🎉🎉 thanks for this informative post

[@IPH-1212]

watching this i feel all the muscles in my feet along with my hip flexors, quads and everything in my knees tearing😭

[@robkelso4397]

Thanks 🙏

[@semperfidelification]

Hero pose is between. Lightning bolt is on your heals

[@JudithStarkEllington]

I have never been able to sit on my ankles. Now that I had a knee replacement it is not even a thought process. I need other moves to get to my ankles

[@christiangarcia-neal9087]

I used to sit like this as a kid all the time, but I was told it was bad for my body…?🤔

[@purplepixie274]

It is

[@geekchick4859]

It’s not.

[@terrihacker3954]

What about my knees

[@dbrxsdgo]

Among the many things I wish I had been taught as a kid. 😵

[@GiC7]

Thanks

[@manjithamanohar7559]

This is called vajrasana in yoga. Why don't you all appreciate to mention the real name of the yoga stretch

[@KevinLopez-qc1vm]

Great edit!!! Love Saul Goodman! Better call Saul!!!

[@mercymaya2689]

What if I still can’t do this on a bed?

[@YOGABODY.Official]

Hello Maya - just prop up with blocks or pillows under your hips.

[@IdaAJ]

And don't give up! It slowly gets easier🙂

[@IdaAJ]

And also, take Lucas' hip challenge class. It helps with this and more (unpaid endorsement; just a happy customer🙂)

[@garys-t8253]

My feet cramp 😳

[@platosbeard3476]

It's my knees that don't like this

[@YOGABODY.Official]

Try on top of your bed.

[@geekchick4859]

My folks told me never to do this!! Sounds like they were wrong about just another thing.

[@souryabanik0907]

It's called vajrasana in yoga. If you're teaching yoga, then please learn the actual nomenclature. It was named by us, but thousands of years ago, for their unique poses or functionalities.

[@jerrymaushard3835]

No Americans invented this pose

[@dinosemr8141]

❤️💖❤️💖❤️🙏❤️💖❤️💖❤️

[@efendykurniawan3939]

Muslims do this pose every day while they are praying😂

[@rosalindmize3919]

Feet look nice and relaxed
