I've been feeling like I need to stretch but not the stretches I did to warm up for high school sports, something movement oriented. Does anyone do any of that? If you do are there any guiding materials or videos out there that start with the basics?

No, I didn't think that was stretching?

hmmm that's a fair point. i don't really know much about it. i thought it was like stretching and yoga and balancing your chi and what not.

all I know are the basic ones we did in wrestling and whichever ones the trainer did in P90X.

P90X is how I first learned about yoga. And I did it for about 4 years until I hurt myself really bad. I wouldn't say I was really good but I definitely was really flexible. It is just culturally appropriated swedish stretching from what I've read.

well, it sounds like you were doing pretty advanced stuff if you hurt yourself from it.

tangentially, i injured my back strength training and the nurse lady said to try yoga. yoga did jack shit for me and i still have the flexibility of a 2x4. my back hurt like hell and i could barely even do a proper downward dog. the only thing that eventually made my back feel better was doing ab and core exercises, ie training the agonist i think.
