With the groin stretch, you're working to add passive resistance for your partner to get added elongation through the inside thigh where it attaches up into the pelvis. So, taking a partner and putting them in our active range of motion position, meaning that you're not taking the soft tissue and joints and press it beyond comfort. You as the partner will come up here above the hip joint and above the knee joint, and as your partner elongates their knee towards the mat and you are just playing passive resistance to elongate that inside thigh and groin a little further. And then you can have him release, and then assume the active turnout to that point where they start to feel a stretch on their own, and then come up and again just apply a passive resistance, thinking of elongation and not so much pulling that joint away from the body, but thinking of elongating the muscle. And then of course you want to switch it up and do the other side. Always make sure that their low back stays relaxed into the mat, shoulders and back are nice and flat, holding the stretch from anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds with breath.
