Short YouTube clip (Vanessa Marin and her husband) from the series “Couples Stretching Positions from the Internet” where they attempt and comment on online couples stretches. In this chunk they try a pose labeled “wild yoga,” improvise a safer variation they nickname “the koala,” and conclude the pose is awkward/unsafe for active movement. Tone is playful and humorous with practical safety concerns.

Get up there. I feel like I could, like, tap it.
Welcome back to Couples Stretching Positions from the Internet, a series where we, a bedroom therapist and her husband, try out couples stretches from the Internet and let you know if they're actually any good.
You know, because having an active stretch life is very important.
Want to see what we're doing today?
Let's do it.
It's called wild yoga.
This looks like more of a stretch for you.
What is happening in my place?
I feel like maybe this could work if I stretched another part of myself downwards a lot. Let's give it a try. I'm more concerned for you than me on this one.
Fortunately, concerned for my neck on this one also. What are your hands doing back there?
I think maybe holding you up or just resting casually on my own thigh, maybe. We'll see.
Okay, let's see.
Okay, so I'm just.
Good. Okay. I mean, I'm guessing that I'm here to hold. Is it.
So pull me that way a little bit.
Oh, you want to come this way?
Yeah.
For this to work, we need to get a lot more elevation from your pelvis, which means you literally need.
In this photo, you are not holding my legs. I just have to be up like this by myself. Let go.
Oh, okay. Good luck, girl.
This is really good.
So I would need to be stretching, you know, myself downward.
Okay, hold on.
Here we go. Maybe. Maybe this could work for a second before she falls and, like, breaks me.
That's, like, really hard. Okay, hold on.
You really want. Okay, give it a go. There we go. Is this a success?
I mean, I'm just going to hold on to. I don't. We'll call this the koala instead.
Okay.
Okay. So try to, like, thrust, though.
I mean, I'd give it a 50. 50 shot. This could work. I can't imagine.
There's no way you could stay in.
No.
And you might hurt me.
What if I thrust?
Oh, there we go. Now we're on this.
There's no physical way to. For my legs to just be staying like that while you're thrusting into.
Yeah, I would recommend that you pass on that one.
