So now, we're going to do our inner thigh wall stretch. [PH] Carrie is going to scoot all the way up towards the wall. Your feet are going to be completely flat onto that wall. Legs go straight onto the wall. And then, you're just going to open your legs and let them hang over. Good. So Carrie is super flexible. Good. From here, you're going to take a deep inhale and then you're going to exhale and try to relax the muscles. Reach the toes out long by your sides. One more deep inhale and then exhale. So now, we're going to add something on. You're going to take your hands and reach them straight toward the ceiling. Take a deep inhale. You're going to bring your fingertips onto the wall. Curl the head, neck and shoulders up, and use your palms to press against that wall and then release. So you have a little ab workout here as well. Inhale, pull the navel in and bring the fingertips towards the wall. Exhale and press and lower down. That brings you around the world. So you're going to bring your fingertips toward the right side. You're going to make a half-moon all the way around to your left side. And then exhale, 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. So just relax in this position here. So let those inner thighs come all the way down to the floor. So this is the inner thigh wall stretch. Our next stretch will be pelvis articulation.
