Easy Flexibility – Lotus Stretch – Paul Zaichik

The Lotus Stretch or Padmasana has many benefits in its own right. It is known to:

• relieve sciatica
• help to ease child birth
• calm the brain
• restore energy

The Lotus requires deep lateral rotation in the hip joint. The thighs are abducted, but less than they are in the butterfly pose. Narrower position, take some pressure off the adductors and places them on the abductors, such as gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.

Zaichik Stretching Technique that will change Your Life Forever!

Differences Between Lotus and Butterfly

Yogis strive to master this position, due its effect on the mind and its ability to keep the spine straight in the neutral position, while sitting on the floor.

Get a Comfortable Lotus

Outside of yoga, various athletes and performance practice Padmasana either for the visual effect of the pose or for the benefits that lateral rotation and hip flexibility brings to their skills.

For example dancers and contortionists benefit from the beauty of the pose and related positions. While grapplers and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioners utilize the pose for guard and various locks and choke applications.

The Method

If you have ever tried the lotus or even seen someone doing, you know how difficult the position is. Many people spend years trying to fruitlessly master this pose. This is where Zaichik Stretching Techniques come in.

Zaichik Stretching works on the principle that no two muscles do exactly the same thing, also it’s easier to stretch them one at a time, than all together. Each of those hard to stretch muscles is isolated and moved through all of their actions, bypassing the pain and discomfort of the stretch reflex. This allows the results to be evident immediately and to last after the workout is finished.

What the Lotus / Padmasana Program Includes

​The routine includes:

• a specific warm up
• the main part of the routine consisting of proprietary Zaichik Stretching techniques
• a cool down

The only thing that is left is to start training for incredibly fast and easy results.
