The "half-Pancake" exercise to help hip mobility
Channel: Kit Laughlin
Date: 2014-02-20

This short video shows a "half pancake" method (or half *upavista kona-asana* for the Yogis watching). 

As well, Kit poses the question:

"If we can take one leg out to the side perfectly, why can't we do this with both legs at the same time?"

Try this mobilisation, and feel what happens, especially inside the straight leg. This is a very helpful intermediate step to the full movement.

We will start shooting the "Stretch Therapy for Gymnastics Strength Training" download program soon. In the meantime, make sure you check out all the videos here, and play with all of them.
