Doing the Split!!!!

During the 90 mins, Keane started us with Sun Salutations A, B & maybe C and there were lots of stretching of the hamstring, the quadriceps, the hips and low lunges. Of course none of us know what was in Keane's mind was that he was warming us up for the SPLIT in the last 20 mins of class!!! Luckily for some of us that attended Sunday's Yin class has already done lots of stretching of the quadriceps (pls see earlier post, pigeon pose would also prepare you for the split).

Still lots of stretching required here as flexibility is the key to doing a split. But I must say that its awesome that she can get to this stage as she has improved tremendously in her flexibility. They kept insisting that Caucasians are not as flexible as the Asians??? Is that true???

And it if gets painful, use the block to support your back thigh.




Still need more flexibility on the hips, as a perfect split is with the hip square. Keane was trying really hard to rotate the back thigh inwards to square the hip. It was an ordeal, very, very,very painful. But at least I hit the floor, LOL
