As I try to commit myself more fully to the practice of stretching and relaxation, I want to join the forum with a log of my sessions. My hope is that the goals I'm pursuing by enrolling in the Mastery courses have more substance to me as I share my progress in a more public way. I have never been very flexible, but as I enter my mid-30s I want to be a good steward of the mobility I have now while hopefully getting closer to ability like touching my toes, squatting with my heels on the ground, and moving my shoulders more freely. And I recognize that this will take real focus and patience. So I appreciate the space I have here to talk about how this goes! Today I began with the lower body. I did limbering movements Sumo Squat, Boxing the Compass, and Baby Flop for about 5 breaths each I did exercises Relaxed Lunge, Standing Knee lifts and 3 rounds of Full Squat, focusing on bringing my torso to my thighs. My right hip pops in the socket when I lift it and aches a bit when seated for longer periods. This has also been an impetus to take stretching and mobility more seriously. But in the squat I feel strong if not super mobile.
