SPLIT - How to get started | Stretch routine for inflexible people

Ready to dive deeper into your ballet practice? Learn how to master everything from pliés to pirouettes with my Beginner’s Ballet Course at 🌸👉www.lazydancer...
And now, let’s work on how to achieve the split! 🙌
Are you a beginner eager to master your splits or have you been practising for a while and are not sure what’s holding you back? Here you'll find how to get started! This stretch routine is perfect even for inflexible people!
So many dancers have asked me about where to start when trying to attempt splits!
Well. the first step is understanding where a split comes from.
While many people think we only need to stretch the legs to do a split, there is more to it than that. 🤔
Flexibility doesn’t come from just one part of our bodies but from working and connecting every part so that our muscles, nerves, and tendons can work together to help us stretch more deeply and reach new limits.
Pushing past our current limits also requires patience, consistency, and breath. 🙏
If you’re ready to stretch it out with me and move closer towards your splits, let’s get started! 💪
And if you haven’t warmed up already, try one of these warmups first to heat up the muscles and get your body loose:

Thank you! I’m working on my splits for almost a year already and just recently discovered that my lower back is holding me back. Really grateful for these exercises, not only did they help me to get a little deeper into my split, but at the end of the day I indeed recognized more range of motion in my back, no back pain after having done the shopping and a feeling of ease... wonderful. For all who plan to do the exercises repeatedly: They start at 5:00💐👍🏻

[@jemmabebb7069]

Thank you for this! I’ve been following your other splits videos for the last few months as for some reason have vowed to do the splits by my 45th birthday. 11 days to go. A couple of centimetres off the ground....

[@Ferro.Farah2.]

Right hip surgery on Monday. Loved this class.

[@kimalley1559]

Alessia, your generosity in sharing your knowledge and skills is soooo appreciated. I've tried yoga but always ended up hurting myself. I love the way you teach, gently and accepting of the different stages we are all at. I've started ballet again at 52 and can't believe how good my body feels!! Yes ladies! with patience and going slowly you can feel loose and flexible in your 50's! Muchas Muchas Gracias beautiful lazy dancer! (from Australia)

[@sarahdelmas7194]

This could have been designed for me! I sit at my job all day and these kinds of exercises are just what I need. Grazie mille Alessia!

[@catherineemond9596]

I could feel and sometimes hear my pelvis bones moving around and readjusting!! Very odd experience but not painful. I love how you don’t stay in the painful moment but keep going back to them little by little. Already there was a big progression between the beginning and end of the session. Thanks for the tips Alyssa ☺️

[@phreyah]

Thank you for always showing variations! Wish I had had you as a PE teacher so I could have learnt earlier how to properly do stretches no matter how inflexible you are.

[@nerdlyrichez8996]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful, wonderful stretching routine! I did it yesterday after one of my usual workout+stretching routines. Today, when I did my workout and stretches, I noticed less tightness and more flexibility in my hamstrings/back of my legs/hips. I finally broke past my middle and front split plateaus! My straddle easily opened to 160 degrees, and I slid into both front splits just an inch off the floor.

[@Ferro.Farah2.]

Thank you. You are the best teacher. As I get into a routine, I will send money. I will be having second hip surgery soon.

[@CasaDePolly]

Second consecutive day doing this routine after my run and it feels sooooooo good!!! I can already feel my body rejoicing lol thank you Alesia! You're amazing!!! ✨

[@anahelena2020]

I'm loving your videos and tips. Encoutered you channel last week and already feel better about my body. My dream was to have been able to a ballerina and this kind of content just makes me feel a little closer to this world and makes me happy so thank you!

[@kpfong7785]

It is really a good lesson for me who haven’t done stretching exercise for so many years. Thankfully

[@julia.c]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, your art and your talent with the world. You always inspire us to keep working out and to improve. Thank you, Alessia ❤️

[@davidmurphy1527]

Thank you, as yoga people we do a lot of stretching but what was nice about this class was all the detail you gave us.As we are in our sixties I doubt we will do the splits, but we enjoy trying with your help.

[@artisanalie]

Your stretching videos are my favourite of yours. Thank you 💕

[@incihemmam3850]

OMG A NEW ONE!!! I tried your 3 year old one and now I'm so excited for this!!!

[@LeaBallet]

I agree with you, it takes long time and is important to know this 🙌🏻

[@user-gk2sb1zv1m]

Thank you so much alessia, this was so helpful for me to be more conscious of lower back and hip movements. Your channel does so much for my mental health and relaxation apart from physical wellness. Thank you for the positivity and encouragement ☺️

[@multieditinxs3788]

I am 20 years old and from the age of 4 till 18 i have done ballet, contemporary and hip hop. I wasn't ever very flexible but i could do the rights splits. After a long time not stretching i decided that i wanted to get more flexible so today i did those exercises for the first time. The truth is i was impressed from how much my left leg was shaking but i know that this is a good sign that im doing it right. My lower back was on fire too something i didn't expect either. I loved it and im recommending to you all try it because only with the first time i know that this will definitely work for me 🙏🏻 thank you

[@beautiful9837]

Thank you for this great video. From beginning I was thinking being difficulty to do this whole workout. Actually the whole process came to me with easy an comfort in which I didn't realize with end. Thank you again for your dedication.

[@vilmak.8598]

Good for coach potatoes too 😊👍

[@jacquelinemann1831]

Thank you! I have unbelievably tight lower back and hamstrings. I found this very helpful even though I do not need the end goal of a split.

[@marialuzmaytorena7095]

Thank you so much❤

[@valentinecaussin4325]

So great ! Thank you so much from Belgium! All your videos are a source of inspiration for my dance teaching! Sorry for my english!

[@annacieplinska1463]

Wonderfool exercises !!! Thank you so much !!!!

[@Ferro.Farah2.]

Both titanium hips in place thanks to a great surgeon. I look forward to getting more flexible. ❤

[@louisaneudorf1661]

Wow! My right leg split has always been difficult and not as flexible or comfortable as my left leg split, but this stretch just changed all that. I am very excited to do both leg splits now! 😊

[@RickUnger]

I don't know if I'm doing these out of order but they are very helpful. I'm learning the importance of the back and the ABS, when it comes to doing the split Thank you thank you

[@nasiamenn2426]

These are lovely yoga stretches!!!❤

[@ashwinihogepatil]

[@aminabdelhalim3949]

Because you i warm up ❤️🌷❤️

[@psi.anaclarafalcao]

thank you for that >3

[@sarahessang5392]

Thanks for the video

[@BoszoliChan]

Thank you for the wonderful workout Alessia! 🥰 I have a wierd question... how big is your workout carpet/mat? I want to replace my old mat, and I've been seeing people using bigger than the standard size I have. They look more convenient. 😊

[@pixydncer1]

Lovely stretch routine, Alessia!

[@pheart2381]

Love that leotard!

[@daveb2138]

Great stretching routine.. thank you ! Ballet style stretching is all new to me, just wondering if you ever recommend pulling yourself into a deeper stretch? I noticed that you are more focused on using your muscles to get you there. Is this correct?

[@daveb2138]

By the way , I have never been told that my lower back stiffness is preventing me from doing the splits! So this is going to be a game changer for me.. thank you for sharing the knowledge!

[@zarabayworth4232]

Very good , thank you . Zara

[@judybatchelor1650]

I have a problem with my hip. Is there an exercise to help unlock it?

[@nikolailic5587]

Hi alicia is these streches for front and middle splits!

[@lucila5466]

what a character XD!! Where on earth is that accent from? :p

[@zheleloh6259]

Can man follow this workout routine?

[@lazydancertips]

Of course!!! Enjoy every stretch 💕

[@thewolfofbelgium]

I was wondering I've been running alot lately, and I noticed if I run in the morning, train for my splits in the evening I'm alot less flexible than usual. Would I just train for my splits as usual, hold my split or my stretches longer or run less any advice ? :)

[@mamaJmama]

It takes me forever to warm up..grrr

[@DavidRichardsonify]

This routine can be done by wheelchair users, if they are able to transfer to the floor. Thank you!

[@lazydancertips]

Glad I could help my dear! 💕😘

[@isabellacellet2674]

igualzinho kkkkk

[@Freyabewegen]

Usually I like your Videos, but I really don't understand the structure of this video. No warm up and back stretches for the first 10 minutes is not gonna help beginners

[@minhtuannguyen8176]

I think it’s for the lower back

[@MariaRomero-bd7qq]

You talk too much ,UNNECESSARILY ‼️ I lose interest from too much YAK
