What a fantastic goal! I have lots of thoughts here. One being we totally need a splits program! The Feel Good Flexibility program might be nice, in case you haven’t tried it yet. When it comes improving flexibility, it’s a bit of a dance between your comfort zone and pushing just past it. The reason it’s a dance is because the more comfortable your nervous system is, the more likely it is to allow you to go into a deeper stretch. And it’s totally understandable that your nervous system is currently preventing you from doing a split, especially if it’s never done one before! So to get your nervous system extra comfy I suggest daily practice along with breath and particularly some breath and relaxation prior to attempting your stretch. There are a few different classes with splits, if you search “splits” you’ll see some options. This class might help you to figure out where exactly needs the most stretch. Is it the hamstring of the front leg or the hip flexor of the back hip? Probably both but there may be one that needs a little extra! I hope this helps 🦋
