Not a hope! I’m gonna have to start stretching twice a day. I’ll get back in a week and let you know
People doing this are also doing these things:

Was able to sit in full lotus, with left leg up first….my right side is not as flexible. And even that side was still excruciating. But it was still a thrill to sit in full lotus for 5 minutes, and my back felt good. My ankles are still sore.

I received confirmation in class tonight that I can sit in full lotus !
When I used to meditate.
I can still do it of course :), it’s not a skill you loose per se

Finally did it again. Took a few days of half-lotus to get there. Been a long time since I was able to sit in full lotus, at the moment I can do it one way, hopefully in a few days / weeks I should be able to do it both ways again.

When I was 12-14 and doing yoga everyday I could do this no problem. I’m 23 now and struggling a bit, I can get both feet into position but only last about 30secs before my legs give out.
I don’t think I’m going to reach my goal, but I’ll still do the “Or Else!” I think I set it way too early…
There are a lot of other yoga poses that help too. This one’s been good for me:

I did that while waiting for a bus this mornign and some guy asked, “Doesn’t that hurt?” If I did it when it started, it would! but your body gets used to it…
These two are good too:

If I do the same stetches every day those muscles start hurting… Massaging after you stretch helps that a LOT though.
