Hi, I `ve tried to do this split for almost a year without any progression, I couldn`t understand why, because my hamstrings are really well streched. But after your words abour fear, I suddenly did it! It was my fear, which didn`t let me do the split.
I used to be really flexible when I was younger, like 8-11 years old. Now I'm fifteen and I tried these stretches. I could not BELIEVE it!! In less than 10 minutes I was less than an inch off the ground when the day before I could only be about 10 inches.
dcllcd82997 i did gymnastics a couple years ago...just take time to stretch everyday. If your watching tv go on the ground and stretch while your watching. Stretching is the only answer there is no magic thing to do :). I quit and i havnt stretched ever since and i cant do my splits andmore or anything. Noe you see how important it is to stretch :). i am starting cheer next year so i just finished riding my bike, running, doing the ilimptical, and i just did zumba(the exersice vid) :)
@dcllcd82997 It really is a matter of persistence.Simply put,the secret to instant splits is really no secret at all.If you can get into the splits after doing these stretches justonce, then something in your life has allowed you to maintain the flexibility that a lot of people don't maintain.For instance,if you used to dance a few years ago and stopped then it may not come as a surprise that you got it on the first try.Just don't quit, and DON'T force it.You'll get there in time.
That's just a normal Gymnastics splits. We do the same warm ups for splits. Except we don't bring our foot towards our bum :) And we point our toes-of course ;)
Keeping the hips square is important. But also keeping your hands FLAT is also important, there was a girl who didn't have her fingers flat and she dislocated her thumb.
I would have been inclined to finish that exercice with a full box split ie facing directly forward towards the camera stretched out on the floor. Not everybody likes to split his symphatic ligament/ her , but it is the fulfillment of the split exercices.
fyi my camp friend was told me that if ur shoulder blades are not coming of the floor, it will not do anything at all. even if it burns. it helped. i think her doctor told her...
I''m into Chinese Martial Arts & need more flexibility so yoga is an obvious choice. In meditation, Chinese Wushu {Qigong} refers to Small Circulation or Micro Cosmic Orbit. It also teaches about energy centers (dan tiens) with acupuncture names; what yoga refers to as chakras if I'm not mistaken. Do you know anything about those? If so please post a video!
Thanks for the video! My friend needs this for a dance audition :) And this JUST helped her learn the splits- her last reqquirement! :D Wish her luck!
I'm got down all the way to the floor yesterday, it was really painful bit i got better. But then the today when i warmed up, stretched and tried again i was back to square one. I'm about an inch off the floor, its so frustrating because i really wanna get it but i can't! Any help pleasee??
I love yoga. When I am looking for ideas and tips about postures, I often come to your videos on you tube and mostly get some good ideas or suggestions or things to try. So those are really useful. At the same time watching your video gives me all kind of sensuous thought, thoughts of things I would just love to do to you in bed.
Thanks for the videos. I'm going to 2 yoga classes a week. Your videos for beginners help me at home. My problem areas are tight hamstrings. Should I stretch them 2-3 times a day? Is that too much for muscles to repair? Thx for any help.
@scarekr0 I think twice a day, is alright. Just remember to breathe and to listen to your body. It will let you know if you are pushing yourself too much.
@vicky05in yes you always have to warm up before stretching. in the beginning of the video she saysto do thr sun salutation a few times to warm up. she has a few videos on it. and it really does warm you up.
@vicky05in It depends on you, and you knowing your body. You will begin to feel the difference as you continue to do the stretches. Your body will tell you when.
@zurabok it is though. what is a work out... something that works your muscles. if you have actually done loga. you do feel it in your muscles and it tones and stretches them. if that isnt a work out i dont know what a work out is.
i swear i think this is the best information i got in youtube about how to achieve the splits... and im going to watch this video more often to remind me of what to do and how to stretch every day so i can get intothe splits like this one chick i kno ^__^
Man you are such a beautiful person and seem genuine! Thanks for posting legit yoga vids that are aimed at cleansing not only body but your mind and spirit :)
It's all in your mind! When she gets into one position and starts talking very calmly and all I want is for her to change position... lol but everyday I get a little bit further, I'll get there someday! I'm just a few inches away, but I can't stay there for too long; probably it is fear holding me back, because I've already injured myself doing this once; but I guess I wasn't doing it the right way, because only with this video I learned to square the hips.
Thank you for this video! This really touched on several key points that i need to work on in my life...you also remind me so much of a good friend that i lost contact with many years ago...You may not realize it but your videos offer so much more than just "another yoga video" there is a lot of love and healing being tranferred! Thanks again:-) Much love!
I AM AN ASIAN!I have nothing against yoga caz I am doing it! BUT ABOUT SPIRITUAL SIDE OF IT ITS DEMONIACS spirit behind that! If Hindu gods were real 35 millions people would not sleep in the street and millions of millions of Hindu dieing of famine!You guys born in the state You do not know what poverty is!! Caz you guys eating the blessing of those saints in Jesus Christ! JESUS SAID IN JOHN 14! I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE NO ONE COMES TO GOD EXCEPT THROUGH ME! LOOK AFTER THE BLESSING
@ChristRedeemer333 dude. but hindusiam also says you only suffer becasue of what u did in your last life! i am not saying dont question religion (i am a hindu btw)...but aleast fucking think before ur open ur smell hairy ashole
Unfortunately dashama is technically incorrect to say that anyone can do the splits if they practice enough. The reality is that we all have different bone shapes and lengths and joint structures. These differences mean that some people will never be able do this posture - even with all the muscles removed it would still be impossible. This same reality applies to many other postures - for more info see the clip "Yoga anatomy with Paul Griiley"
Nmaste, am anamika. am writing to you because i have been tryng to do these splits for the past five months now everyday around 10 times but i cannot still acheive the splits, it hurts so badly and even though i keep on breathing in and out and do it regulary, it is not working out for me... Do you have a solution?
The stretch in my front leg hurts more when I keep my foot as you do (toes up). Is it wrong to make it "point" like you did with your back foot at 4:43 in your video ? (sorry for my english.)
@dashama thanks for the video i've been in gymnastics since i was 3 and i could never do it while i was contiueing to be in gymnastics my friends had there splits before me and your video helped me now and i'm 11 now
I am enjoying your great videos, including the precise explanations! I am a yoga instructor and will incorporate some of these into my routines. Thank you!!
thank you very much. I've been doing yoga for 2 years but school eats up my time now. so not much yoga practice now. This is great tips for me to get my splits to be perfect again. thank you.
Beautiful what you had to say towards the end regarding connection with the source THU the practice of asana and/or other limbs, that THIS IS the yoga....to feel more love, to become more in LOVE and in tune with the universe and what it wants from us thru this practice. Its what I need to hear!
I've been trying to find a lot of stretches to get myself into the splits, and this is brilliant. The Best combinations of stretches to help me with my splits. I'm really close to the floor. Thank you very much. Subscribing 4 sure.
thanks! i was 11 when i was about 1 inch off then when i was 12 i mastered them adn now im 13 and i am working on bending back while i do them so im not leaning forewarsd :)
Those stretches really do help with your splits. I used them to stretch for my splits and they really help. Great video! You have a soothing, calm voice and give useful tips.
Thank you so much! I am 11 years old and really want to do a split i am about 2 inches from the ground and yes, i cant touch my forehead to my foot. you helped me a lot keep putting videos on!
"Happy Hanumaning" into the splits! Dashama I am truly grateful to you for sharing your wisdom. Moving the energy...feels soo fantastic. Hugs :-) Namaste - SallaExie
Please do not push your body beyond its means. You need to practice regularly before you are ready to go into full splits. Trying to do this right out the gate can result in a serious injury. "Stretch more often and breath into it" like Dashama says in the video. Good luck. You'll get it in no time :)
I found this useful....I've been trying to do the splits for the last two months...I've made some progress using Kurz's book Stretching Scientifically. I nearly made the "cheerleader splits" even though I'm a guy, but Dashama's split is the one I want to achieve...hopefully with patience I will be able to achieve it. Thanks for the vid Dashama.
Well martial arts require great flexibility and the legs need to be practiced as well. I do Fencing mainly and lunging is very common. But apart from that Yoga is very helpful, it keeps you calm and helps you stretch. Obviously one needs to be patient.
Hey awesome video! I must say, I'm not a big fan of yoga/meditation etc., but I am a baton twirler trying to get the splits. By the way, your accent is extraordinary! I've never heard anything like it! Its amazing!!!
Just curious, I see your from the states as well, why does her accent seem unique? Its cool to hear people say that as people are usually all gaga over european or australian accents.. I think I hear a hint of midwest in Dashama as thats where I'm from. It is very cute :)
Hi Dashama, I am not flexible at all and old. Where do I start? I want to do full splits but can only get to about 90 maybe 100 degrees. My hips hurt and I have bad knees. Please suggest help and where to start.
have you found any help so do i !!! and i have just been stretching for 3 days and not really stretching but yeah..ugh ..i hate this !!!! grr...why does it have to hurt so bad
I want to give up i feel nothing at all .....it sucks .... (not her video but yeah)....ughh i'm frustrated i can't get it at all and all the stretching has got no where....so i just give up
Our fear doesn't let us believe in our strength and flexibility. Anyway everyone should be careful with himself finding out his state. I will try Hanumanasana from now on every day. From the inspiration I received from this fresh Dashama video today my feeling tells me I could bet to be on the ground in a year.
thank you for posting this. i wonder if the pain is real ? i'm working on it. i need to let go the fear and relax. i think some instrumental music could help.
no way! another 30 day challenge? i'm guessing that it's going to start around mid-april again? :) well i missed it the first time around but definitely will be participating in this one.
wow!!! this really helped me doing my splits... thank you dashama thank you so much!!!

Those stretches really do help with your splits. I used them to stretch for my splits and they really help. Great video! You have a soothing, calm voice and give useful tips.

Please do not push your body beyond its means. You need to practice regularly before you are ready to go into full splits. Trying to do this right out the gate can result in a serious injury. "Stretch more often and breath into it" like Dashama says in the video. Good luck. You'll get it in no time :)

I found this useful....I've been trying to do the splits for the last two months...I've made some progress using Kurz's book Stretching Scientifically. I nearly made the "cheerleader splits" even though I'm a guy, but Dashama's split is the one I want to achieve...hopefully with patience I will be able to achieve it. Thanks for the vid Dashama.

Well martial arts require great flexibility and the legs need to be practiced as well. I do Fencing mainly and lunging is very common. But apart from that Yoga is very helpful, it keeps you calm and helps you stretch. Obviously one needs to be patient.

Hey awesome video! I must say, I'm not a big fan of yoga/meditation etc., but I am a baton twirler trying to get the splits. By the way, your accent is extraordinary! I've never heard anything like it! Its amazing!!!
BelJ707 2 years ago
Just curious, I see your from the states as well, why does her accent seem unique? Its cool to hear people say that as people are usually all gaga over european or australian accents.. I think I hear a hint of midwest in Dashama as thats where I'm from. It is very cute :)

Hi Dashama, I am not flexible at all and old. Where do I start? I want to do full splits but can only get to about 90 maybe 100 degrees. My hips hurt and I have bad knees. Please suggest help and where to start.

Our fear doesn't let us believe in our strength and flexibility. Anyway everyone should be careful with himself finding out his state. I will try Hanumanasana from now on every day. From the inspiration I received from this fresh Dashama video today my feeling tells me I could bet to be on the ground in a year.

thank you for posting this. i wonder if the pain is real ? i'm working on it. i need to let go the fear and relax. i think some instrumental music could help.
