Hey Pat,
It could be a combination.
The first thing is to get started. It may not be exactly where to start, however, doing something is better than doing nothing so don’t be overwhelmed if you aren’t sure where to start.

Kelly touched on this during the August AMA.
It is around the 9:00 mark

It is a hip flexion position.
Are you working with hip flexion?
There are several episodes on the Virtual Mobility Coach archive that address aspects of hip flexion.
Working on the squat archetype is beneficial here. There is the 14 day squat mobility challenge. Think about completing that programming.

Are you addressing external rotation?
Check out the pigeon episodes or the pigeon game.
Frog and super frog will help.

Are you spending time in the lotus position?
Spend time there to the best of your ability.

Some places to get started.
Let us know how things are progressing with it.
