This is why stretching is an activity that would actually benefit from pre- and post-pliability training. Doing pliability before and after stretching, as you would with any sports activity, can help minimize the amount of muscle tissue microtearing and muscle scarring that could result in injury. You don’t get points for sticking your foot behind your neck! Think of pliability as the pre- and post-routine to any physical activity or sport, up to and including yoga.
