should i get same sensation in each glute

Not necessarily. If one glute is stronger, tighter, or more activated than the other, you’ll likely feel the stretch more on that side. Over time, as mobility and strength balance out, the sensation should become more even. You can also slightly adjust your tilt or rotation to target the side that’s less responsive.

range of motion on videos of instructors is significantly greater than mine

That’s very common. Instructors often have more hip mobility or flexibility from years of practice, so their range looks extreme compared to most people starting out. What matters is working within your own safe range—forcing it can strain the hip or lower back.

You can gradually improve range by keeping the hips squared, engaging the core, and gently easing deeper over time, not comparing yourself to videos. Small, consistent increases matter more than hitting “full” positions right away.

leg infront of me isnt the same when trying each side. difficult to get flat

Yes, that’s very common too. Even a small difference in how the front leg is angled or how the knee/foot is positioned can change the stretch a lot. For most people, one side naturally wants to sit more “off-angle,” making it harder to get flat.

A few tips:

Make sure the front shin isn’t too close to your hip or too far out—experiment a little with its angle.
Square your hips toward the front. You might need a small cushion under the hip that wants to drop.
Focus on gradually lowering rather than forcing flat—mobility often comes more from time than pushing deeper in one session.
