Stretches for the Lotus posture

[Dimitrius]

Some exercises to help you get into the Lotus position.

 

[Samadhi-Sukha-Upekkha]

Much appreciated!

I'm reminded of another video that used to be on YouTube (I don't know if it got taken down, I think there was some copyright confusion around it) that said,
"Here are the steps to getting to Lotus.

Number 1: You should be doing wide-angle forward bend.
Number 2: You should be doing wide-angle forward bend.
Number 3: You should be doing wide-angle forward bend."

Unfortunately, my hamstrings don't permit me to actually bend in the wide angle foward bend, so it ends up being more of a wide angle upright sitting pose... Bound angle pose, anyone?
