    when you do the seated fold, should your sit bones stay flat to the floor? i try to keep mine grounded but the further i bend forward, the more they lift up…

    haha, I fell asleep at the final pose! Just shows you it works! I used this to get a good nights rest after my yoga practice, and it’s so great! Thanks so much Esther!

    You’re a wonderful teacher! I like how yoga is not “you have to” and “you must”, it’s “you can” and “if you want” – absolutely nothing that cannot be reached with training.
    P.S. I like hoy Esther says “stretch”.

    excellent instructions; window between 2 legs, keep shoulder blades grounded, focus attention on how whole body feels, not just the area stretched, keeping inner thighs & ankles together to support back… @ 9:22 I see you adjusting your shoulders & legs, what should we be feeling or releasing? I forget to breath deep & relax, especially relax my mind~ tend to multitask, solve problems in my mind while stretching~ bad habit I need to break God Bless You & thank you

    If it is really painful and inflamed you might need to rest it for a while before you start stretching. So yeah, these video’s will help you to maintain the flexibility, but again it might need rest first, that is a call you or a doctor need to make, its impossible for me to asses the situation from a distance.
    Hope this helps, and you can do sidekicks soon again without pain!!!

    It sounds to me you have a bit of an injury going. you need to let it heal otherwise it is going to take a long time. Stretching it is good so it heals without too many adhesion’s and the flexibility stays, but DON’T push it, be conservative in your stretching.
