Journey to the Splits
Mantra
If Faith does not get you
all the way, practice will
This practice is a leap of faith. The splits can be intimidating and the work required to achieve it can seem daunting, but if you commit to the practice and the process, you will get there. This session is a process that you will want to return to again and again, pushing yourself to sit in the discomfort of becoming, until you can find the depth you’re seeking. For now, let’s focus on opening and preparing to get as deep into the postures as we can.
What you'll learn
- How to engage the hip flexors and hamstrings in the posture instead of stressing out the spine
- The ability to sit with difficulty and discomfort, especially in the face of an ego that says “go further”
- Proper alignment for the splits which will help set the foundation for countless other poses and proper spinal stacking
- How to balance the strength and flexibility needs of both sides of your body, allowing for proper connection and flow of postures
- Mental techniques for working through particularly challenging poses and personal roadblocks in the hammock
