Stretching the GROIN

Seated, bring your feet together until the heels are touching or nearly touching. place your elbows on the side of your knees. Lean forward gently, at the same time pressing the knees down toward the ground with your elbows.

BELOW: Sit with your legs bent and the bottom of your feet facing each other (touching, if possible). Your partner places their hands on your knees creating additional weight. You should attempt to bring your knees together and then resist as you open your knees.

BELOW: Lying on your side, lift your leg against the resistance of your partner. When you can lift no higher, with or without resistance, your partner should lift the leg a bit more. Then, provide resistance as you bring the leg back.

Sit on the floor. Extend the left leg straight in front with toes pointing to the upward. Bring the right foot to the inside of the left thigh. Bend down the left leg until your hands reach the knee, shins or foot. Tighten the left thigh and hold for 5 seconds. The ultimate goal is to bring the chin to the shin.
