How do you reach the flexibility to achieve this position at all? what are
some good exercises and positions to do to help hip and knee flexibility? I
can’t even cross my darn legs :C
So relaxing
you got thumbs down but you’re exactly right. she is doing it wrong, both
knees should rest on the ground. its not a huge deal if you’re flexible but
don’t make a habit of it. if you aren’t flexible, you can really mess up
your knees, badly.
Thats what ad-blocker is for 😉
@mopo112 you should focus on limbering your ankles doin the diamond pose!
you see japanese people doing that constantly…you sit on your knees with
your buttocks resting on your heels and the upside of your feet flat to the
ground..you will feel it’s stretch and might hurt so work your way up in
secs and/or minutes…i had the same prob like…it really works and size
doesn’t not matter i’m 6ft 4 😉
okay, that i can do =) can not everyone do that? hmm..?
@KaisWOWBand indeed that is more accurate
hahaha you sound like a friend of mine..By the way I just got in from work
and am in a great mood and so i want to share that with you! Have an
awesome night CHixxie!
Try bboying/Breakdancing its like yoga..but more hard work 🙂 haha
Only do it like the video says if you are female. If you are male, the left
foot should go on the right thigh first, so that the legs are reversed.
This is for subtle energy body purposes. Also, cosmic mudra is much more
comfortable for the hands. Look up zazen for that.
you have to keep doing it so you will get used to it
do you know how I could get my legs more flexible?? I can do about three
quarters of the pose, pulling my left leg quite high but it hurts so I
can’t bring it up to my thigh. If you have any advice that’d be great! xx

ohhh man tt was heaven V.V
I got this in my 1st try no practice! haha!! its so easy!! hahaha..
@jostpuur lol yes
@DoopaLoopa hello Mr. Loopa. Did we get off on the wrong foot here? Was it
that I didnt reccomend the meditation techniques? Lets have a coversation.
Your, friend, Fixdal.
i did this for 3 hours 53 min!
@DeepAstralJourneys okay? its purpose wasn’t to tell you the significance
of yoga in its religious context
@mopo112 there is a very good book called Becoming the Lotus on amazon.com
@DoopaLoopa lol im sure you know all about huffing gasoline…so thats how
YOU “transcendetally masturbate” as you say? thats probably how you get
your middle school style trollin ideas too. seriously you couldnt be a day
over 12, you gay little boy. DoopaLoopa….ROFL!!! thats obviously a faggot
little trolls name if i ever heard of one! all you can think of is things
going up peoples asses??
This LOOKS so easy that I would think if someone were somewhat flexible,
they could achieve it. Boy am I wrong. When I try it, I look ridiculous. I
have one foot already on a thigh, but yet I have to move that other leg
without disturbing said foot? What sorcery is this?
it’s so easy 😛
this hurts -_-‘
my leg does not bend like that 🙁
Today I managed to do this for the first time. Yay!! =D I still can’t hold
it for long because I feel a lot of strain in my feet, but I till now, I
wasn’t able to do this pose since I was a little kid, so I’m chuffed ^^
i can do this with no hands XD
This pose hurts my lower body.
@FoxHound212 plural? lol you mean woman….
@appleofmypie Hamstring flexibility isn’t required for Lotus. I wish I
could do it, I find it really difficult.
@sakeynii do seated wide leg forward fold and do it every day
no, palms down is no good. a few minutes still will prove it
Sorry to reply so, so late, but I never got a notification of your message
and I just read it! Well, I do a lot of hip opening poses in Bikram like
Bikram’s triangle and tree pose. I do lotus like this: I sit with one leg
very stretched and the foot in flex, I grab the other foot and then curve
my spine a little bit and tilt backwards as if I were going to lie down
(like pointing with the coxis to the front).
i prefer the silence to the squawking bird and the midi gong that went on
throughout the last two similar videos i watched
ooooo ive been doing this in pre-k had no idea what this was
they are showing only root chakra release…..
yeah ,it would be relaxing if i could do it …it’s a lot harder than it
seems and if you ‘re not working regularly it’s almost mission impossible
@Sakeynii I gotta felxablity video on my channel but its more for
gymnastics but might help hip flexibility !
i can hardly get my left foot over.. i thought you were gonna show us some
progressive stretches that’ll eventually lead up to it =(
Freak flexibility
But how do you follow these steps, if you don’t have enough flexibility to
follow these steps???
@DoopaLoopa ROFL!! wow! so u dont like that book? that psychotic rant
seriously had me busting up for like 2 minutes strait!
knees should touch the floor
I loled at the warning cause i first did this pose when i was like 5 and
have been able to ever since. I can snap into it without using my hands,
and can fold in half when i do it. still cant touch my toes though xP
my knee always fucking comes up i am so frustrated
@sloppymantis actually made it profitable so it can still exist. 30 sec is
not a lot time for free service 🙂
😀
