THE BUTTERFLY STRETCH
March 9th, 2009
Sit on your floor and with your legs bent yoga style (gold smiling Buddha) making sure the soles of your feet are pressed together. The further further your feet are away from the body, the easier the exercise will be. Using your elbows try and gently press your knees towards the floor. Do this slowly – trying not to jerk your knees towards the floor – this will cause an injury which will stop you floating and stinging for a long time. Now lean your upper body and forward and meet your feet and making sure you meet your back as straight as possible. You should make sure you feel a stretch in your inner thighs. Hold for 10 seconds – excluding holding your breath – do not hold your breath.
