Thank you for sharing your journey! It’s amazing how dedication brought you such great results. Life happens, but it’s inspiring to see you getting back into practice. You’re on the right track ❤

Hi! Thank you for your question. It’s quite common to struggle with maintaining a neutral spine in the pancake stretch, especially if hip mobility is limited. Sitting higher in this position (on blocks or a rolled-up towel) will help you stay more upright and reduce the strain on your lower back. This adjustment enables you to tip your hips forward more easily, promoting better anterior tilt. When you start folding forward, lead with your hips and aim to keep a flat back as much as possible, rounding only at the end of your range. Consistent practice and focusing on hip mobility will gradually improve this. Hope this helps! ❤

Stretching should be uncomfortable at the end range of your motion, but not painful. Keeping the discomfort level around a 5 out of 10 instead of higher can help ensure that you are stretching safely and not causing stress on your ligaments. If you experience dull discomfort, you’re likely doing it right! If there’s a sharp, burning pain, that’s your body telling you to back off and go a little easier. Stretching sensation changes with time. It feels uncomfortable at first, and turns into pleasant with practice ❤ With consistent practice twice a day, you'll start noticing improvements in your flexibility and comfort within a few weeks, but this can vary depending on many factors, e.g. your prior experience, your overall exercise regimen, any injuries acquired in the past, etc. Please keep in mind there are no shortcuts to flexibility. It takes time. So listen to your body and be patient. Hope this helps!

We’re glad to hear the video was helpful! Thank you for your feedback and the question. While different articles may prove or disprove various theories, oversplits are generally safe with the right preparation, flexibility, and guidance. However, if you’re still far from achieving a flat split, we don’t recommend attempting oversplits, as it can increase the risk of injury. Some people may be able to work toward oversplits without a full flat split, but this should be done carefully - ideally with a coach. It’s also important to avoid risky techniques like pushing the hips down or bouncing, as these can increase the chance of injury. Hope this helps! ❤

Inhale as you lift your chest, expanding the front of your body. Hold that position, and as you exhale, relax and let your chest lower closer to the floor.

Vocal exercises will help you breath better so if you previously took vocal lessons and exercises you will have better breathing technique compared to those who don't
