Your videos are beautiful. Is there anyway you could do any how to videos.

@undeadlifter ...verbal instruction is not my forte. only advice can give is for you to practice what you see for 10-20hrs/ week for 10 years to be GOOD...& if you start young (pre-teen) can be a contortionist. If no sharp pain then you are doing it right, feel dull sensation in muscle to s-t-r-e-t-c-h. takes a lot of practice & work...most don't want to put in the time!

@NelsonYogaInversions 10 years??? im 16 it onnly took me one :/

[NelsonYogaInversions]

@elenalevfan2

yes indeed at age 16 you should have splits nailed down in 6weeks or less with diligent practice, many people who want to learn are starting in their 30's or 40's or 50's (me) which takes much longer to acquire the flexibility. glad you are so confident, how about showing us your skills, we'd love to see!

That slide from a split into a handstand....just....wow! You have my complete respect!!

[NelsonYogaInversions]

@Philbisregin ...cheaters like me need little momentum to help with the lift...he, he!

thanks for noticing smooth move...

I'm really impressed and inspired. It took me really long to get my flexiblity, and I'm only sixteen.. imagine how much hard work you must have put in for this... I shall keep working at it too.

@rolandsc ...2-3 times week train for "deep stretching" 1-1.5hrs, otherwise spot stretch few <30 min & split up time wherever i am, ie. kitchen, laundry, outside with pups, sitting in car, errands with mother, etc etc

sneak in mini session of stretches throughout the day whenever have few free moments!
