Middle Splits

This workshop is for anyone who wants to widen their straddle, deepen their pancake, and flatten their middle split - that is, all those shapes where your legs are stretched out to either side. These splits have never come naturally to me, so I did what any flexibility nerd would do: I hyperfixated on them until I found strategies to turn my frustration into enthusiasm. Now you can benefit from my nerdiness!

Whether your straddles look like a pizza slice or your middle split is already flat on the ground, you'll come away with a toolkit of stretches and drills to strengthen these splits, keep your hips and knees happier, and increase your range of motion.

Prerequisites: none! If you're rehabbing an injury in your hips, knees, or thighs, you'll still learn useful tips and exercises, but you'll want to be a bit cautious with this one.
