THIS MONTH'S STRETCH: Splits Flexibility

Beginner - Advanced

First stretch: combré forward, placing the band under your feet and pulling up on it to create tension. There should be a deep stretch in your hamstrings.

Second stretch: place your splits on a soft, elevated surface. Even if you don't have your regular splits down, use this for a deeper stretch rather than just using the floor.

TIP: Turn out and keep your hips square when stretching (don't face your torso to the side like I am)

my favorite easy but effective stretches for any level to try ⬇️

Monthly Challenge

Last month's posts

I finally became determined to put on my pointe shoes and get more comfortable in them before summer intensives. I still have a fear of twisting an ankle when attempting a pirouette, but I'll get there eventually haha. Here is this month's recap of posts!!

UPDATE:

I have sent an age appeal to Pinterest so I should have my account back soon! Turns out, I entered the wrong age when I first made the account (only off by about 6 months), but I don't want to wait 6 months to post on there again!!
