My right leg is significantly more flexible than the left.  I just realized tonight that I tend to favour my left leg for stretchy activities and my right leg for strength things (for instance, taking the first stair.)  I’m right-handed, so I think those preferences are pretty common, but my level of flexibility in my right leg?  Kind of terrible.

The thing is, even when I was doing yoga regularly, my right leg was still much less flexible.  Am I doin’ it wrong?

Ignoring my left leg for stretches seems like the wrong way to go–and let’s be honest, most yoga makes good use of both legs.  Should I be hitting my stems from two fronts–more stretching with the right leg, more weight-work on the left?
