We, as a whole entire nation, sit on our ***** way too much. Do the exercises at a decreased range and build up. You don't want to sprain or pull muscles and end up not being able to do pilates at all. You'll get there and the flexibility will come. Just take it a bit slower so you're not in pain. For the teaser, an option instead of putting both legs up would be to alternate so one foot is still on the ground and the other leg is in "teaser" position. The knees would be lined up but one would be bent with the foot down and the other would be straight with the foot up. forthelifeofme.wordpress.com Most people have tight hip flexors.
