I appreciate how you present to people like me who are very FAR from getting there (not just the last couple of inches)

[@letsmadi7577]

I can't thank you enough for this video. I've struggled with hip flexibility all my life and this lizard circles opened them like MAGIC! I'll do them before every class now, thank you thank you thank you! 💕

[@anilamalik8051]

Hello I would like to recommand you 'seated straddle ' tutorial by Addison Brian .

[@brookegallegos8097]

These are amazing stretches that really opened up my hips. Could you do a video that shows how to improve a middle split leap, tilt jump, grand jete, and calypso? Thanks!

[@miadehaan5948]

These are awesome thank you!! I feel so much more flexible in my stretching positions after this❤️❤️ would love to see some more of these

[@The_Globe_Wanderer]

She is a great dance teacher + she teaches us for free

[@amohacollections9878]

I was just 1 inch far from my split and I had been trying to do a full split from almost a month without bending my knees and it helped a lot I finally did a perfect split thank you!

[@pixydncer1]

Beautiful stretches, Alessia!!!

[@chrissime8692]

You are a real real good teacher! I'm doing gymnastics with 7-9 y.o. girls for 10 years by now.. I can say you inspired my training preparation and I'm in process also progress for presenting mobilization terms to them. Thank you very much.

[@ultraviolet16]

Thank you so much! I feel more flexible and also I’m not a very flexible person and never was. I’m able to go a bit more down to my splits but not quite there. I’ll continue to do this every day I hope I’ll get my splits soon!

[@user-vz1lv8kh9y]

Powerlifter/Bodybuilder/Martial Artist here. Had Lyme disease 20+ years, reversing hip atrophy. These stretches are like cheat codes. Took my breath away and got light headed but already feeling amazing just from doing this one time. I was trying Jujimufu's (look him up, he's a 240+lb acrobat) chair split routine, and have been looking for ways to make my hips looser. This was exactly what I was looking for. Tight hips are my worst enemy

[@ariunichinka8475]

Thank you very much! I've been trying to get my splits, and stretching about a six months now. Didn't know why it was taking long time, but those exercises immediately showed a result! Helpful! 🙂👍

[@ejgreen11]

This is a great video. The advice to relax my muscles has given me SIGNIFICANT improvements. Thanks!

[@rachellynncreates2703]

Saving this to watch with my daughter she’s trying so hard to get her splits.

[@anilamalik8051]

Hello Iam also learning to get my splits And straddle strech is very essential and extremely useful and it helps to increase flexibility of shoulders,spinal cord,hamstring. Watching and practicing Tutorials like seated straddle has helped me alot .

[@tharushaslayy]

I've tried them now and I'm feeling fantastic 😃😃😃 I'll be doing them every day!! Huge THANKS ❤❤❤❤

Thanks for your vedio🙂.. I think now I can do spilt from right vedio😌💜

[@LeoTaxilFrance]

Very clever and effective! Thanks!

[@jackspradlin4183]

Awesome video !!! I am a fanatical tennis player, probably have hip impingement not severe yet, but I definitely have one hip less flexible. I saw your video as I googled the splits, knowing if I could do the splits my internal hip rotation has to be good as well as low back and other core muscles. Great exercises to help me get there !

[@sophiawish9772]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@aleq.randvlastgui4981]

Perfect,thanks

[@MrDemodamian]

thanks for the tips ...can you please do a video regarding active flexibility....and total body / hip workout follow-along..

[@estherp]

Can you also make a video of how to strengthen your hips for (let's say) walking. Or are these exercises good for strengthening the hips?

[@anilamalik8051]

Practicing Mill pose and straddle stretching helps increases hip ,back/spinal cord legs shoulders flexibility . Seated straddle is essential for overall body Flexibility while keep in mind the body condition and health.

[@estherp]

@@anilamalik8051 thanks! ❤️

[@Littledani1]

OMG TYSM my back leg stopped bending when i tried to get into my splits (and i realised how close i am to the splits)

[@jackedwards2363]

Thankyou will working am 16 inches from boxes splits but side can do

[@markosholiveira8663]

Thanhs a lot!

[@kimansems2769]

Any suggestions if your trying to gain flexibility but have mild mcl problems in 1 knee

[@ladiversiondenicolemarie418]

This is a lot of patience. I was a gymnast when I was 6 years old and I lost my flexibility. So I’m going to try this

[@ladiversiondenicolemarie418]

😂Thanks for the heart! i appreciate it

[@sush139]

How far in front should the legs be after we sit on the sit bones ? If I allow my legs to be too close to me they lay flat on the ground.

[@imanonymous3164]

This really helped me master my spit. I really appreciate the help on how to perfect 👌 your split. One question, could you make a video of how to do an over split if it’s possible? Thx!

[@nettalanger3362]

How long does it take to get a full split

[@antonia-ioanaschannel6599]

@@nettalanger3362 it depends from person to person! Some months, other years.

[@vermillion9nelson188]

Hmmmm....I didn't feel anything in the tail bone area doing the 3rd stretch. Just felt it in my inner thighs. Any tips?

[@wonie_1565]

I'm tall so it's very hard to do splits thanks 😊

[@marimdraw800]

Any advice for someone who got hurt trying to split? (Injury due to lack of rest and poor diet) any tip is accepted

[@kiniburk]

This work for guys also?

[@Curls105anarm]

Beautiful legs! Beautiful!

[@manling13]

Actually really like the exercises you gave, I’m gonna add it to my stretch routine but isn’t the ‘before’ middle split and ‘after’ front split in the thumb nail?😂 (just a bit confused) thanks for the video!

[@miraculous9377]

❤I want to learn in one day just love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you so much

[@smar6488]

Ilove you🍁❤

[@maasadahmed629]

Is hard but I can do a little bit of the butterfly🤏

[@Fearless.xx11]

MY NAME IS ALESSIA TOO

[@destinyxx4150]

I used to be able to do a split and stopped for years. I'm 18 now and cant do it anymore. Is there still hope or will I be potentially damage or hurt my body if I try again ? (I never used to dance by the way. I used to do them for fun)

[@KateMaureen14]

Just make sure you're warm and go slowly. Regaining them as an adult is much much easier than achieving it for the first time. :)

[@anitasmith2221]

This works but I still haven’t been able to get my spilts yet

[@maasadahmed629]

First time you can do the splits yes or no🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@maylispeuduvallonatik9803]

What if my hips are desperately tight? I have been trying for 40 years, but my bones are closed and I can only split thanks to my muscles... But the butterfly position is impossible with straight back and so frustrating!!! I only got sciatic pain by straining my turnout!!!

[@letsmadi7577]

Same thing here... 20 years of ballet and I have never been able to sit in butterfly position properly, and at this point I don't think I ever will. But the lizard circles were very very helpful tho

[@rosielove8977]

It’s the same for me the butterfly position is impossible for me with straight back i don’t why and what to do 😭 i can’t do the split my middle split is not bad but cannot do the butterfly position

[@Naisavrein]

Always interesting to hear how different bodies can be! I bet there are plenty of things that your body can do that mine can't; meanwhile, butterfly is the only thing I can always do easily and fully, even when I haven't stretched/in jeans etc.

[@lene3667]

Why in butterfly position my legs drop to the floor like everything is stretched but I can’t do splits

[@jessicacollins8049]

Id love to do this if my gut wasnt in the way

[@eskaryjlawarlock9772]

Did anyone else think of Jamie Lee Curtis when watching the last exercise?

[@user-gu6ly4vy4m]

I feel so upset for some reason on the butterfly I can’t get my legs to the floor is there another stretch instead of this I’m literally crying

[@emanueladavini5243]

ESATTO! D'altronde siamo lazy dancers...more beginners stuff always welcome :)

[@tinikanoel2553]

I tried this many times and I still haven't got my split 😔

[@anilamalik8051]

Nothing is as useful as practicing straddle strech.for splits its nit just about legs flexibility but Flexibility of out spinal cord,shoulders,hemstrings and glutes r interconnected

[@alimshow6052]

Very hard, please please show us from very beginning, step by step. Easy way.

[@miraculous9377]

And I wanted to be Bilal

[@jessicab5448]

Really needed this it popped up on my feed out of nowhere will try as soon as possible, I will get these splits! Also just wanted to share: Jesus loves you and desires a relationship with you. Won't you open up the door and accept him into your heart today? Pray, read his word and repent. He is coming again soon! Stay safe and God bless! 🙏🏾 Watch panorama of Prophecy on KZbin for studying!

[@mauricette6429]

Sorry my Dear Jessica but we are here for Alessia advices and not to please Jesus. How can you be so Foolish....

[@swaralankaar9237]
