"Now we are going to do our inner thigh wall stretch. Carrie is going to scoot all the way up towards the wall. Your feet are going to be completely flat on to that wall, legs go straight on to the wall and then you are just going to open your legs and let them hang over. Good. So Carrie is super flexible. From here you are going to take a deep inhale and actually try to relax the muscles and reach the toes out long by your sides. One more deep inhale and then exhale. Now we are going to add something on. Take your hands and reach them straight towards the ceiling. Take a deep inhale, bring your fingertips on to the wall, curl the head, back, and shoulders up and use your palms to press against that wall and then release. You are going to get a little ab workout here as well. Inhale and pull the naval in and bring the fingertips towards the wall, exhale and press and lower down. That brings you around the world. Bring your fingertips towards the right side. You are going to make a half moon all the way around to your left side and then axle switch towards the right side again. Again reach all the way up and exhale and then back to center and round all the way back down. Just relax in this position here and sort of let those inner thighs come all the way down to the floor. This was the inner wall stretch and our next stretch will be the pelvis articulation."
