Pancake Form Check (pull strap in middle?)

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for feedback on my pancake stretches in the middle split series.  Major issue is that I am completely unable to move my torso forward enough to get anywhere close to a "chest on the floor" kind of position (I laugh whenever I hear it said on the video, as I am light years away from that position).  Can you please review this and let me know how I'm doing and whether using a pull strap in the middle to help me get my chest closer to the ground is a good move?

Thanks!

-Bryan

Pancake Form Check

Hi Bryan,

I would recommend to sit on an elevated surface. Try to sit on a yoga block or two or even a bench. Whatever you need in order to be able to sit upright with a straight back and anterior pelvic tilt. As your flexibility improves you can lower this surface and eventually perform these stretches from the floor  

Thanks for the tip, Pauline!  I'll try that.

Please let us know how you go and feel free to submit another form check
