Angeline started to look a little nervous as yet another person approached. It’s not that she was nervous about stretching in front of people, she’d done much crazier stuff on stage but she never considered herself much of a teacher. “Hi - Yeah of- of course I mean I’m not exactly the best at explaining stuff but I guess if you look at what I’m doing and roughly can replicate it it should be alright… Does martial arts take a lot of flexibility?” she asked, looking actually curious, she supposed it was a little like dancing, high kicks and a lot of control. Lost in her thought, she looked around, there wasn’t any mats or anything to comfortably stretch on, she hadn’t even brought her own, regrettably. Supposedly though, this new life wouldn’t be exactly as cush as she’d been used to. “Oh I’m getting distracted - But I can tell you whereabouts you’re supposed to feel the stretch so you know if you’re doing it wrong if you don’t feel anything..” While it wasn’t exactly instructor level, it definitely helped her in her conditioning classes.

“I was just warming up, anyhow so I guess just sit down with me and stretch out your hip-flexors like this-” She sat, pressing the bases of her shoes together, pulled them close toward her crotch and folded herself over “The aim is to try and get your forehead to rest on-...” She looked at her shoes “Like the sides of the balls of your feet?” She leant down “Usually someone pushes my shoulders down so I go deeper, but well my muscles ache enough so I’m just going to do these solo. Oh and hold each pose for roughly twenty to thirty seconds.” Her voice is slightly strained as the ache in her legs is being stretched out. After a while she sits back up “Or, well, as long as you want really don’t push yourself too far.” Angie added, trying to think of her relaxingly-voiced instructor, if only she could sound so carefree and chill. “Um - and then just to keep relaxed on the floor here just, uh, put your legs into a straddle position-” She stretches her legs out in front of her then moves them apart “And like… Try and touch your toes with one hand, and reach the other one over your head? It should be stretching like the back of your knee? Like your hamstrings and the arm over your head should just let gravity pull your obliques out so along your ribcage and the opposite side of your body from the leg you’re touching..” She can easily wrap her hand around her shoes, focusing more on the stretch on her obliques and shoulder joint.

When she straightens herself up she gets a blank look on her face “I’ve just realised I never even introduced myself.” she laughed, a little embarrassed at how flattered she was at being asked to demonstrate some stretches. “Um, right well my name is Angeline Harrison - I’m uh - I [i]was[/i] a ballerina so I’m not like a professional yoga instructor or anything” She switches to the other side, holding the base of her foot and stretching her arm over the top of her head, aiming to try and touch her toes with her other hand.
