Hmm. I’ve never heard of this. My body might love this technique. I only recently started “behaving” by practicing good stretching. I was a delinquent.

That’s “mashing”

Think of it as tenderizing the muscle to get them ready for the stretch.

Interesting, but I still don’t quite get what all the jumping over her legs and back was about. Is that some form of myofascial release?

Also, in Dara’s video she says that regular stretching was adding unnecessary bulk to her frame…huh?

I would definitely need to see some more vids of this in action to really get what it’s all about.

Not with two full time stretchers/torturers.

However, I have used self-directed resistance stretching to repair the tight hips I earned through years of lifting very heavy weights. Years of static stretching never made a dent in my hip flexors & abductors.

Have you personally tried Dara’s program?
