My Stretching Routine for Inflexible People - How I managed to become more flexible

Forget about "i'm not flexible enough", or "i'm not meant to be flexible", or "yoga isn't for me", or "i can never do this". None of those statements are true because I could barely reach below my knees 8 months ago, and now with consistent stretching, I am able to touch the floor with my palm. I have been saying those statements for way too long, and I want to show you that you can be more flexible too if you want to!

In today's video, I share my 8 go-to stretches for people who think they aren't flexible to help improve flexibility for yoga, dance, cheerleading, gymnastics and more. These stretches can help you work toward your splits, scorpion and other challenging poses. The main target muscle groups are hamstrings, hip flexors and adductors, glutes muscles, ankle and calves.
