Standing Split

Tips

• Spread your toes and firmly plant them into the mat - this brings more stability to your stance.
• Rotate the lifted leg inwardly.
• Do not rotate the pelvis.
• Keep your spine long and straight.
• Feel the stretch in your hamstrings.
• Focus your eyes on a steady point for better stability.

Breathing

• Breathe deeply. Do not hold your breath.

Make it Harder

• Close your eyes to make the balancing even harder.

Make it Easier

• If you can't comfortably reach the floor, use a bench or yoga block.
