Feeling stuck in your flexibility progress? Let me know in the comments and let's look for solutions together! 💜
How long does it take to get Mermaid Pose?
Results vary, but with consistent practice, you'll see progress. Personally, I achieved to get Mermaid Pose almost immediately because I had flexible hip flexors from previous splits training. Remember, it's about your unique journey, not comparing to others.
Can everyone improve their Mermaid Pose?
Absolutely! Mermaid Pose is more accessible than you might think, especially compared to other advanced poses.
How often should I stretch for Mermaid Pose?
For optimal results, repeat this routine every two days. Stretch, rest one day, then stretch again. Consistency is key!
Is Mermaid Pose dangerous?
You need to be warmed up enough and don't push yourself too hard, otherwise you risk injury! This stretching routine has a targeted warm up to protect your back and is beginner friendly. Go as far as your body allows and don't bend too much in your lower back to compensate for lacking shoulder and hip flexor flexibility. Instead, keep repeating this video to prepare every part of your body involved in this pose until you are ready!
