Description

A full front-back split is an advanced flexibility position; only enter gradually with substantial props and no forced descent.

Easier option

Use Half Splits or a short supported lunge; do not treat them as a failed full split.

Breathing cue

Breathe easily; stop before pain, strain or loss of control.
