Pancake stretch

Hey there, 

I'd like to get a form check on the pancake stretch, please. I'd like to know if it's still too early to sit without elevating the hips on a block or so.

Here's the video:

this is a good starting point...my suggestion it is to try to rotate your pelvic tilt and lean forward until you can feel the contraction on the lower back..

I tried to rotate the pelvis more forward, should it be noticeable?

unfortunately no, at this stage of development you cannot rotte the hips when you are already forward, you must rotate in the anterior pelvic tilti in a facilitated position which is the the point wher the upper body is completely vertical.

A facilitated position means that I should elevate the hips sittin on a block or something like this?
