There's nothing wrong with not being able to touch your toes when stretching into a fold. What can be problematic though is if you're trying to force the movement incorrectly. That won't make you more flexible or prevent any injuries!

After about 2 years of powerlifting/bulking, I am finally ready to resume my BJJ journey. My muscles are incredibly tight and immobile, and this channel has been massively helpful in helping me regain my mobility. Can't wait to play inverted guard as a 100kg+ buff dude
Thank you John!! That sounds petrifying lol!
Thank you for the support
It WORKS. Without this very helpful tip, I'd not be able to do the fold forward bend. Thanks a Million.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting
@@yogaforbjj I had wondered, tried and failed for many many years, extremely lucky that I did not hurt myself in the process, to practice this yoga pose.
My dream finally came true after several months of practicing and following your instructions from this video diligently
Please accept my deepest gratitude from the bottom of my heart for revealing your trade secret. Without your generosity, I'd still be at ground zero as of this writing.
Best regards and God bless.
Great explanation! That really makes sense and is very helpful! I easily see myself progressing to palms flat on the floor.
Yes!! That's it!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I’ve never tried any exercises like this before, it seems like it has potential!!
Thanks Emily, let me know how you get on
i love how you explain. i love how you can keep kontent short and on the point.
and its great that someone like you brings yoga to a complete new audience. i would never try something called "yoga" as a 21 year one boy and im sure im not alone, because i would imagine my mom doing some cool down exercises, but thats simply not true. switched like 90% of weight training beside bjj for yoga, feels so much better :)
Oss!
Thank you! Very helpful
Im so glad i found your video.Im 63 years old and have been searching youtube for tips on touching my toes.Your advice seems very well structured.
Thank you chris that's awesome! Let me know how you get on please
@@yogaforbjj After two weeks i am now able to touch the floor with my knuckles.This has now given me more confidence with manual lifting at work.Thanks again.
That's awesome!!
Well done, keep it up 🤙
When you correct him in seated forward fold, when you bring him back having gone a little to far that is,: what was it about his posture that told you he went to far into still with stomach to thigh contact? I hope my question makes sense thankyou.
Short positional explainations are awesome. Keep them coming
Will do, but the real deal is on the website itself!
Love it can’t wait to try later you explained it so clearly!
Thanks Sara! 🤙
This is amazingggg! Just tried it and it really works! Why have i never seen this before?! ❤❤❤

Thanks for watching 🤙
The best and safest one
Thanks for watching 🤙

Brilliant! Keep working and you'll get it! Thanks for commenting 🤙
How'd it go?
It’s really working You’re amazing I’m so grateful that I found this video thank u so much😁😁😁😁😁
Superb explanation
Thank you 🙂
Going to start doing this 👍 im so stiff i struggle to even reach my knees when my legs are straight so cant wait to get better
I got to say this is one of the most helpful tips for forward folds. I had lots of lower back injuries when I was young and this stretch was always challenging for me. This helped a lot!
Thanks
Thanks Paul! Keep up the good work, consistency is key 🤙
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you so much 😁
Im happy you enjoyed it! - Adam
Awesome thankyou a lot 👍🔥🔥🙏
You're welcome 😊
Best explanation
Thanks Nalini 👊
I started going to martial arts school in Feb.22 and had some good progress becoming mobile and be able to stretch. But being tall as I am, the forward fold is way harder to learn than a split because my lower back was (still is) very stiff.
I found this video and can’t wait to try it. It looks so promising and I have no doubt to make it thx to this vid.!
Thanks!
How is it going now? Thank you for sharing!
Brilliant!
Thank you
Excellent
Thanks!
finally a short simple explanation. other videos talked too much
Thank you!!
Thank you so much, i never touched toes , but i think, i finally found really helpful tips, thanks
That's great!! Keep it up 🤙
Any results?
Wowowowowo thank you
No problem!!
Is this one on the website/app? It should be.
great video
Sebastion I get a stabbing pain in the front of my right hip when I try to place my knee near my chest...any advice?
Hey, did you try the Yoga for rocks hips program already? www.yogaforbjj.net/yoga-for-rocks-hips/
Hi, I have a really tight back from years of anterior pelvic tilt, this seems like a great way to loosen it off. Would you agree?
Thanks a lot.I was struggling with forward flod.. Thanks for the tip. :-D
Glad it helped!
Did after doing this your back pain
Is it normal ...?
In both positions, my belly never reaches the tights. what could be the problem?
Hi! Not at all, if you can still feel a stretch then you are working towards that 🤙
I have searched for the answer on why my psoas muscles always cramp after dowing forward folds without any luck. It is extra noticeable when lying on my back directly after a fold session. Do you have any idea why this happens?
Try and do pigeon pose each side for a few breaths after folding to counter it. It is good to counter and open the front if you have spent a long time folding.
So its ok if your back rounds like that? Mine rounds pretty well the same as your demonstration here
Sure, just try to "hinge at the hips" to begin with 👍
@@yogaforbjj thanks will do that
how many reps should I complete in these exercises?
Hi! As many as you need to feel good 👍
@@yogaforbjj thank you ❤️
Is it bad to start doing this every day? My goal is to achieve butterfly stretch... will this help for that? What is bad about overly stretched hamstrings? Like what other muscles must I strengthen or loosen to compensate for stretched loose hamstrings? Please help me
Just make sure you aren't only doing that and work other areas too. Strengthen your hamstrings too by activating them someways 👍
Sir when I am doing this front bend my hamstrings and claf muscles are burning like hell and like it will tear I can't hold this for 1second also what to do sir
Hi Uttej
It sounds like you need to bend your knees more and ease off slightly.
Try following the tips until you are comfortable in the pose.
Then you can start to stretch 😎
@@yogaforbjj sir I am not bending the knees atall I am keeping the knees straight and doing the forward bend I think that's the reason for the burning
Please try without and let me know how that feels 👍
That's not a proper ryt I'm an Indian and every indian knows only 48 ours to learn this 😆👍🏻 it's very easy but you are making harder 😒
I'm sure it's good advice but I can barely hear anything.
Thanks Carsten, did you try on another device?
this is just like any other "forward bending guide" that shows you how to do it by showing already flexible people to demonstrate. They always fail to show that actual stiff people can't even get to the starting position where you touch your thighs to your belly. this tells me they don't know a thing about how to help inflexible people.
