Hi David. This is helpful, thanks. Is there any reason I should not use 'happy baby'? It's more comfortable.

This was very helpful. I've found happy baby to be an uncomfortably intense stretch. By the third round of this PNF exercise, however, I felt I could get the soles of my feet closer to horizontal without as much discomfort.

Thanks for mentioning that trembling is OK!
