Hi Maya. I had some difficulties with couch stretch. like I was lining more on a side than being able to stay in straight line. You know what i mean?
You were leaning to the same side as your knee being on the floor? For example your right knee is on the ground and you are leaning to the right side? There are few things you can do: First try to hold on to something with your right side (chair, wall) and try to do a slight opposite press so your hips can get into straight line. It’s important that your hips are square. Also you have to feel nice stretch in hip flexors but if it feels too much, it usually is. So go slow and adjust your body. Also make sure your floor knee is protected with a mat or pillow, so you don’t feel knee discomfort. Try it out and let me know if this helped. Also, this is very intense stretch and go slow and step by step. If you can’t hold it up to a minute, then ease out when u feel the need. First time i tried this stretch, i literally cried hahahhaha. But it’s a super stretch.
