These videos and practices are to stretch and prepare the body to sit comfortably in the burmese position.
Thought they would be worth linking to here.
I know Kit Laughlin mentioned he has taught stretch therapy in monasteries before.

Here is another one that is easier than burmese. Basically seiza/kneeling with pillows. Very comfy.
