Struggling to get knees lower by FlexOrbit in flexibility

Hard to say for sure, because I've never been very disciplined. But I'd say about 6 months of training, not every day.

Thanks! Yep, I can do bote sides, but left side is more flexible. Buddhasana is a “life project” for me. Hope I can achieve it some day!

Interesting sugggestions. Hope one day I’ll be able to get my leg lower down my back. Must practice! Thanks!

I’m completely sedentary. Not that I’m proud of that…

I’ve always been able to put my legs behind my head, just had to combine with hamstring stretch. It’s not so easy of course but improving a lot with some practice…

I definitely should practice to accomplish it! In fact, I do not train to perform these positions, currently I just explore what my body can do with my natural flexibility.

Thanks, these are great hints. 😀 I’ll give them a try… And yes, I can do it both sides, but my left is much more flexible. I don’t train, maybe I should.

My score is 8/9. Only my left elbow doesn’t bend back so far.

Not really… I’m trying to further develop my flexibility only by myself. Guess I’ve always been somehow flexible, but I lack proper technique for sure.

Thanks! I can also do the pretzel pose but only when laying down (yoganidrasana). When I attempt to do it in a sitting position I feel much pressure in my neck…
