We use this progression for frontal plane hip/adductor flexibility/mobility.

The prepositioning of the legs should not be too far apart. This is important because the idea is to feed and to work through the proprioceptors, not to lengthen the tissues by force. So do not think too much about "stretching" with this one.   

1. 4-point ground contact - hold for 10 sec

2. 3-point ground contact with upper body rotation

3. 2-point ground contact - a hold with scapular retaction

4. 2-point ground contact with upper body rotation
