Our Silly vs. Smart series continues with today’s lesson focusing on standing splits and how you can be so much smarter with it! Now standing splits can be a fun pose to take, but, many students struggle to achieve their fullest expression. This is another opportunity to be smart about props!

The first thing you’re going to do is grab two blocks and then place them under your hands. This will give you the extra lift you need to extend your lifted leg up towards the sky!

Now you can achieve your standing splits to the fullest expression without relying on all your weight onto your arms, but instead putting that pressure into your leg as you hold the posture in a smarter and safer way.

Enjoy your practice!
