You should be able to do this
By erinmotz Functional Flexibility

Did you know there’s ONE surefire way to check whether you’re flexible enough? It’s as easy as standing up — and not using your hands.

I’m serious.

Try this and see if you can do it:

Lie on your back as you would in Savasana

Now slowly sit up straight WITHOUT using your hands

Cross your legs, and from here get up to a standing position WITHOUT using your hands.

Can you do it?!

If not, you probably need to work on your flexibility. My Functional Flexibility course will help you feel 10 years younger in just 15 minutes a day.

I'm Erin, I’ve been teaching yoga for almost 20 years and have been featured in countless publications for making yoga more accessible and focused on YOU, the person, and not the image of a "perfect yogi."

I'm also certified personal trainer and a lifelong student of the human body. I’ve seen thousands of students go from being in constant pain to being able to move freely and feel good in their bodies. It’s one of my favorite things to watch. That's why it's become my mission to see as many people as possible feel those same results and ultimately feel 10 years younger. I know it's possible and I know you can do this.
