Stretching and Mobility Leg opening (splits)
I would like to invite you to check out my practice program, Flexibility Trails. It will be a pleasure to walk the path of flexibility together, freeing the body from pain, improving our posture, and becoming more aware of our bodies.

Continuing the series of stretching/mobility videos in a "press play and follow along" format!
Now a series focusing on leg splits.
Keeping your torso straight even with your legs apart says a lot about your flexibility and mobility. Of course, I'm not trying to make you Van Damme! Go to a point that you want and that helps you in your practice.
For example: a ballerina will want to achieve zero or even negative leg splits, while a CrossFit athlete might only want to stretch their inner thigh to improve their squat, since they don't need zero splits in the sport. But that's still everyone's metric/dream.
Always remember: if you can't achieve a pose or feel pain, use an easier variation or don't do that specific pose. The purpose of the video is to help; everyone has a particularity that must be evaluated so that they can continue practicing safely.
So? Press PLAY and let's go!
