Hi Gabrielle
I noticed no one replied to your last post but I am curious what else you have to say as I am experiencing the same thing (day 14 of my 30 day challenge)..
My answer would be yes to all three of your questions:
“May I please ask you to tell me (each of you please) if in your classes you are encouraged to do Standing Separate Leg Intense Stretch with straight legs? Is your studio a script studio? Is your sit-up where you sit up on an inhale round over your legs and then do 2 short exhales?”
