Stiff bear and calf mobility

Hi!

Is there any form difference between the stiff bear and the first calf mobility in pike?

Thanks!

Hi Étienne,

The starting position of the Stiff Bear and the calf mobility in lesson 9 are the same. The difference is in the calf stretch, you will have to walk further back with your feet in order to stretch your calves more. 

Hi Pauline,

Got it!  But the only thing is I lack the mobility to keep both the straight legs and the straight back.  Is working on one will improve the other simultaneously?

Try focusing on keeping the back as straight as you can. You may need to walk your feet further back in order to keep your legs straight. As your flexibility improves you will be able to walk further in. Eventually focus on pressing your heels into the ground
