I have only been able to do it twice in the last week (busy schedule) but it is a stretch like no other I have done. Both times I felt extremely relaxed afterwards. During the stretch I could feel it stretching muscles that I didn't even know were tight! It was amazing. A funny thing is that I was doing everything that the instructor said not to do. Each time she would say don't stretch like this I would look down and I was doing exactly that so it has been great for modifications!
