Someone on here mentioned that it was a lovely flow so I tried it and actually really enjoyed it.

I can’t lean forward from a sitting position I sort of just hang my chest and head in mid air 😂. I’m sure I’ll ease up the more I do. It’s hard being an old inflexible woman 😂
GetOutTheDoor Jun 2023 12:43pm, 23 Jun 2023 360 posts	0 GetOutTheDoor Hi Jaks, Have you tried sitting on something (block/books/cushion) to lift your butt up when sitting cross legged? It can help if hip tightness is restricting - for me it means my back is mostly vertical sitting cross legged instead of leaning back. Leaning forwards is still a massive challenge.
Yorkshire Pie Jun 2023 12:51pm, 23 Jun 2023 15,246 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie I find that sitting on a block helps massively with sitting up straight, although I also have problems doing seated forward folds etc. I'm still keeping up my every day streak which started at the end of December. I've had a couple of weeks on holiday where I've been limited as to what I could do, but I always managed to do something. This week I've been trying to get back into the habit of slightly longer sessions rather than streaksavers.
