I love stretching Hip Flexors and like/use the pose you shared Allyson.
For those who have the lessons you can see that the still shot for Lunge thigh stretch is what the article calls Half Kneeling! It’s the first thing I teach before moving on to anything deeper. So when I refer to a lunge I’m not talking about the photo in the article where you turn hips or arch the low back. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dfb5178-ba64-438e-8bf4-5f360ac37250
Worth checking out the lesson to see the different poses and how they change the intensity of the stretch.Once you understand how to “reach” the hip Flexors then using the beginning position “half kneeling” and moving onto a deeper lunge (Maintaining neutral pelvis) and then lifting through the spine reaching back is a great stretch, but again, targets more than just hip Flexors. It’s a good way to prepare for back bending. So just to be clear, there is really no point in performing the lunge as shown in the article, the form is bad.

Exciting, both of you!! I use the same type of program personally when I have had to take time off and need to “start over”. 🙂

Are you able to pole in the morning? That’s the only time I can, if I wait until they are in bed it’s way to late for me to be motivated to workout.

The replacement stretch is actually awesome, but I would place it in a conditioning category, not just a stretch. It’s actually on my list of things to record however, I didn’t know that was the name Half Kneeling. I would say if you cannot perform the Half kneeling properly then you would not want to Lunge. A lunge can be nice, if done properly and with the knowledge that as you progress you could include the back (the whole spine not just the lower) in the stretch. Is a lunge the BEST way to stretch hip flexors, nah, a lunge is not the ultimate stretch, but if done carefully I still say it’s a nice option!
As for the over spilt photo…ugh…For years I’ve been frustrated with the obsession of doing Over splits training among pole dancers. It’s often a suggested method of trying to work on Jade or Splits. BUT It’s also just not necessary and can be very harsh on the joints. I don’t do overspilt training and for now see no reason to! I have a nice flat jade, I can do splits and I think my lines are nice.
Here is a video I made talking about Hip flexors and stretching them. You will also find this vid and more in the Veena’s Tips lesson section. 🙂 https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/535743ed-9b88-4d0d-a481-534e0a9aa0eb

Quality safe poles are not going to be cheap. Have you looked into the poles we sell here? We have both xpole and lil mynx and both are great poles!
This one is only $189 https://www.studioveena.com/store/index.php/poles/lil-mynx-original-dance-pole-powder-coated.html I love mine, I have the rotator lil mynx and they are very quick to set up and take down, you can use them on a flat or vaulted ceiling, all you need is the vault mount.
We also sell an xpole sport chrome for $199 https://www.studioveena.com/store/index.php/poles/x-pole-sport-chrome.html Also a nice pole for the money.
For that price range you will not get a pole that has a spinning option but you will have a nice quality pole!

I can’t wait to get back to feeling like myself!!

I think it’s more about keeping sweat in check, while pole bottoms look like underwear, most are better at wicking sweat away than just underwear on its own. Plus you can wear underwear or a thong under pole bottoms. However, at home I’ve used underwear a LOT because I love the fit! Some of my favorite told and bottoms are Target bikinis! 👙

Thanks Allyson! I just recorded it off my computer screen. I’ve been really busy today took me almost 3 hours to get groceries today! My toe seems to be getting much better though, not nearly as painful and injured as the last time, thank god!
