Do the "butterfly" stretches. Basically you sit down on your ass and put the heel of your feet together. Then try to make your knees touch the ground. Also lean forward while you do it. That'll help you with your lotus.

dawg the only way to stretch to do lotus is to keep trying it. theres no other muscles that you stretch other than the lotus muscles to do lotus man.

just keep doing it and holding one leg on your other leg and actually feeling the stretch for like 30 seconds or something. then rest and repeat like 2 more times. then do it with the other leg.

the butterfly stretch is good but it doesnt get everything you need for lotus.

just suck it up and deal with the pain. it's worth being able to just pop into a lotus without your hands later on.

just use your hands and go slow. sometimes you gotta force it though.

Just practice half lotus on each leg. Be consistent with this for the next few days. You'll have full lotus in no time. End message.

Dont Learn Lotus..............its A Fucking Meditative Position Not A Dance Move

And Your Gonna Fuck Your Knees Up

And Unless You Can Do Something Really Ridiculous In A Lotus I.e. Airflares, Mills, Etc. Than Lotus Are Just Plain Wack

Take That Time To Smoke Weed Or Clean Up Your Downrock

Dude... If people wanted to avoid getting fucked up they wouldnt bboy.

And flares are a gymnastic move, handstands are a gymnastics move, circles are a gymnastics move and bridge is a stretching move... so should we just ignore those moves too and go smoke some weed?

fucking douche. People learn what they wanna learn, you don't need to appreciate what they're doing, but if people wanna learn, help them, dont be a fucking dumbass and insult thier decisions.
