30 Min Straddles for Beginners
Who this workshop recording is for:
This 30-minute workshop is great for beginners or students with tight hips who want to work on their straddle flexibility.
If you struggle in your straddle stretch, meaning:
you feel like your legs don’t straddle out far at all - you’re stuck with a narrow pizza slice
you can’t sit up straight in a straddle on the floor
it feels impossible to lean forwards in your straddle
… then this is a great workshop for you!
If you can already sit in a straddle on the floor and lean forwards a couple of inches while keeping your back flat, I’d suggest trying the 60-minute Straddle Pancake workshop instead.
This 30-min follow-along straddle routine includes:
Passive drills focusing on adductor (inner thigh) flexibility to help widen our straddle
Active flexibility drills to strengthen this deeper range of motion to be able to more easily open our straddles over time
Active & passive drills to help work towards leaning forwards in a seated straddle
Recommended props:
Long stretchy strap (optional, but nice!)
2 yoga blocks
Chair or low table
Wall space you can straddle against
Note: Because of Squarespace’s file size limitations (which is what I use for this wonderful website!), upon purchase you will receive a PDF with a private YouTube link to the recording.
