]]> If you’re a yogi looking to improve flexibility and challenge yourself, Hanumanasana, also known as Monkey Pose or yoga split, is a great pose to work towards. Beyond providing a deep stretch for the hips and hamstrings, Hanumanasa can help to tone leg muscles and create a feeling of grounding to calm your nervous system. While it may look a bit scary at first, with a bit of patience and practice, you’ll be able to achieve this pose in no time. Read on for some tips to get you started.

Warm Up

Start by warming up your body with some gentle stretches. Focus on your hamstrings, hip flexors, and inner thighs. Then, find a comfortable seated position and take a few deep breaths to center yourself.

Go Slowly

Begin to ease into the splits by starting in a low lunge position. Keep your front knee over your ankle and your back leg straight. Slowly begin to slide your front foot forward while keeping your hips square. Stop when you feel a stretch in your hamstring and hold for a few breaths. Repeat on the other side.

Listen to Your Body

When you feel ready, try to deepen the pose by sliding your front foot forward even more. Keep your hips square and try to keep both legs straight. Hold for a few breaths and then release.

Remember, it’s important to take your time with this pose. Don’t push yourself too hard, and always warm up before attempting it. Stretching for a few minutes every day is the most effective way to increase flexibility while protecting your muscles from stress and injury.

]]> If you knew how to do the splits as a child, but lost that ability somewhere along the way, you’re not alone. Fitness superstar Pamela Reif felt the same way—which is why she developed a new stretching routine, hoping it would help her slide into the New Year with an elegant split.

Reif came up with a series of stretches fully targeted on hip mobility, hamstring, and thigh flexibility. By making improvements in those areas, she’s hoping she’ll be able to slide into a front split in no time, and she’s asking her fans to join her on this journey.

You can do Reif’s stretching routine in just eight minutes, and it’s incredibly relaxing. Some of the exercises she included in this workout are high and low lunges, hamstring and sit down stretches, and pigeon pose, and she repeated them all several times throughout the workout.

The splits require a lot of flexibility and hard work, and you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself if you can’t get them right. Stretching on a daily basis is beneficial either way and doing a perfect split is just an added bonus that gives you bragging rights.
