Soul Sister Stretches — Part 2 🤍
This little sequence combines assisted mobility, gentle partner support and a little nervous-system downshift.
Here’s what we’re working with:
Assisted Figure Four — hip release
Start lying comfortably on your back with one ankle crossed over the opposite thigh.
Your partner gently supports the legs and helps guide the stretch. Think steady support rather than pulling.
Keep the spine relaxed and let the intensity stay around the outer hip/glute rather than forcing the knee towards the floor.
Child’s Pose + Gentle Back Massage
Come into Child’s Pose and allow your partner to work gently across the muscles of the back.
This isn’t about digging in or finding the deepest pressure possible. Think broad, slow and soothing.
Let the breath become slower as the body begins to open.
Gentle Sacral Support
With your partner in Child’s Pose, a gentle, steady contact over the sacrum can provide a grounding sensation.
Keep the pressure light and centred over the broad, bony sacral area NOT the lumbar spine.
Always communicate. Ask: “Is this comfortable? More, less or stop?”
Assisted Butterfly
Come into Butterfly with the soles of the feet together.
Your partner can gently help external rotation of the femurs with the heel of their hands or provide light assistance from behind while you focus on relaxing the inner thighs.
Don’t force the knees towards the floor.
Let the hips open gradually with the breath.
And that’s really the magic of partner stretching: focusing on communication, trust, support and learning to listen to your body. 🤍
Save this for your next stretch date / girls’ yoga session / soul sister catch up and send it to the person you’d love to try it with.
Part 1 + Part 2 = your little partner stretching sequence. ✨
