Don’t know if anyone is still reading this thread, but I thought I’d add my 2 cents 🙂

I have very large, muscular legs & found it impossible to wrap my legs for the first 6 or 7 months of my practice — until I tried it lying down.

I am a triathlete, and so I added a “lying eagle” to my post run and post bike stretching routine. Initially, I had to use my hands (or a partner’s help) to get my legs twisted, but after doing it religiously for 2 X 90 seconds every time I ran or biked, I can now twist with relative ease – and it has completely cured my illiotibial band syndrome!

Still working on getting my fingers below my nose, but I think the shoulder stretches on the stretching guide will help a lot – thanks! Helcat
