Yoga to prepare for the splits combines thigh stretches with exercises for hip mobility. Strength and stability exercises help you control your body position.
In this 90-minute class, you'll practice “Standing Split Pose”, “Squat Kriya with Leg Extended to the Side” and “Extended Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose with the Leg to the Side”. The class ends with time to rest lying down.
Choose the longer class when you're ready to spend an hour and a half focusing on your practice.
Choose a comfortable stretch and use support if it helps you stay steady. Avoid stretching through pain and allow time to recover between classes.
