Hey everyone, in today's video I'm going to share with you the best yoga poses to get you into the splits. This is the stretching routine I've been doing once to three times a week to achieve my front splits. It only takes about 15 minutes and has given me great results in about 5 weeks.
This front splits yoga tutorial will go over poses that deeply stretch the hamstrings, hip flexors, calves and quads so that you can ease your way into the splits gradually over time. I use a lot of props for this so I recommend that you have at least two blocks. I'm also using the wall and some stairs as well as a 9 inch exercise ball.

If you're looking to increase your lower body flexibility and get your front splits, give this stretching routine a try and let me know how it goes!

I remember being 15 and trying out for cheerleading and practicing the splits! Now again at 61 practicing yoga and these splits! I still got it!!!☮️❤️😊🙏

[@tachetmarie-pierre6188]

Thank you for this video. I think it would be nice to have the full rutine with minimal cues as it is always more motivating to practice with you.

[@BalancebyMeghan]

Agreed! I’d love a full video

[@accelking]

I just wanted to say thank you for everything that you share with people and the wonderful guidance you give with each of your videos. It's really appreciated and I'm sure it has helped so many people in such a wonderful way as it did me over the years. Thank you for everything, stay the beautiful blessed soul that you are and I wish you nothing but the best and all the success in the world to come your way.

[@RA-kh8ch]

It's so encouraging to see your honesty/vulerability, Kassandra! Thank you! It inspires me to want to try this as well, at 52, as flexible hip flexors support a healthy llower back. Thank you! We grow together!

[@daisyj5837]

Love love love this, thank you! Also: you look so fresh and glowy! You obviously recharged during your month off.

[@yogawithkassandra]

I went a bit too hard on the highlighter I think 😂 but thank you!

[@katerinpersonal884]

Wowww so interesting you did this because I've been trying to work in my splits for a month now, I feel like I'm getting closer and closer 🐣

[@madiyogi]

Love love love! The leg up against the wall was just what I needed to get deeper in the quads and hip flexors! Thanks so much as always for providing quality yoga content 🫶🏽🙏🏽

[@hannahpickhardt2682]

YESSS. THANK YOU KASSANDRA!!!! You are such a wonderful role model, and not to mention beautiful as well!!!! ❤

[@masaradovic-jerinic8851]

Wonderful class and super useful, even for those who are not aiming for splits, great for the hamstrings. Thank you!

[@Fun50s]

Thank you so much for sharing this video and your journey to the splits. Will definitely give it a try, aiming for this super challenging pose in a few years 😂

[@freacky99]

I'm working on my splits for some time now. I've tried multiple videos and tips etc but this video made such a huge difference in my training. I'm almost there now! Thank you for telling me to just take my hands off the ground. I didn't think about that before but it's such a game changer! 🥰

[@Jo_spice_blackwood]

More videos like this please you look fresh and I found it useful to watch this video first I almost felt like I've actually done the splits by the time I'd finished it😅 I am actually going to try it both sides for 30 minutes maybe later on or maybe tomorrow morning but thank you for the video it was very relatable and powered me to watch try it and have fun🎉

[@loyaneepars9567]

Thank you for this video! Awesome to see some more realistic progress and tips. ❤ Follow along routine next?

[@karinaburgess3989]

Got my splits very quickly only using the stretches from the first 6 mins of the video and stretching in between reps at the squat rack while training legs

[@kaliflowyoga]

This is the video I didn't know I needed! Thank you so much Kassandra.

[@kajtic.2167]

This is great!! For last week or so I've been doing stretches to do the splits it's something I've want to achieve for a long time, so this has popped up at the perfect time,maybe I'll get there or maybe my body will so um no 😅. But as always love practising with you. Thanks Kassandra love from Perth Australia

[@yogawithkassandra]

It's a tough one!!

[@sunshinegarden21]

Me too!! I was a dancer in my teens. I'm 34 now & really want my flexibility back so started doing yoga every day this year. My goal too is to do the splits by the end of the year. In January, I was about 1.5ft from the ground. Now I'm down to only the last like 4 inches. Been stuck tho! Swear she read our minds! Lol. Good Luck friend!

[@PatriciaCox-wn1jc]

Wow, a new one. I will give it a try 😊

[@msinbalony]

Kassandra, you look STUNNING in this video 😍 and YES, please would love to see the tutorials make a comeback!

[@marisarepeta8828]

Kassandra, you have helped me with my splits so much!

[@AmazingMadness]

You are literally glowing😍🔥🔥

[@SalusAndSageTarot]

Can you do a 30 day split challenge like you did with the evening and morning yoga challenges?

[@shantaemcclure9523]

Yes!! I would love a 30 day splits challenge also!!!! Or a few full splits workout videos.

[@SalusAndSageTarot]

@@shantaemcclure9523 Right? That would be really dope

[@SalusAndSageTarot]

@@shantaemcclure9523 let's cross our fingers 🤞

[@ThePollaton]

When I first started my serious yoga journey (daily yoga) my goal was always to be able to do the splits….i still can’t 8 years later. lol definitely going to add this to my daily routine. Thanks Kassandra for always knowing what I need 😂

[@Eva_in_nigredo]

Surprisingly I'm closer to split than I thought ❤

[@susanavazquez1378]

Thank you for sharing this routine, I always thought I'd never do a split because of my body, so I'm really excited to see if I can achieve it. On the first day, it feels hard on the knees to do all in one leg and then the other. I think I prefer to alternate legs on each exercise (if that makes sense). Also, I would prefer a video of the routine in real time, as on your usual brilliant yoga videos. Thank you again! ❤

[@sefaozbek9936]

Okay, you have to do a full flow around this 😍 🙏

[@SiretEster]

My goal for this year was to get to the splits. I've tried many "journey to splits" exercises but i never got so close as with your video, so thank you so much for sharing your split journey!

[@leacochin5807]

Thank you for that routine 😍 Do you think you will be posting soon another lower body flexibility? Maybe a 40-45 mins format, targeting hips, hamstrings to improve global flexibility? I have been doing over and over and again all your slow flow/vinyasa lessons for lower body flexibility and love them all ! Thank you ❤

[@deborah289]

At 68, I have no hope of adding splits to my yoga practice 🤣 but as a 2+ year YT & app subscriber, I'm a devoted follower and I would love to see more of these 'practice sessions' in the mix of your videos. I know I would benefit from learning steps to master a certain level of yoga expertise, not just practice poses repeatedly. Either way, loved this video and I'm a grateful fan!

[@Aceherself]

Thank you for sharing this streching routine! I love it, it gives a different focus and dimension to stretching 😊

[@rebeccahanford5709]

Thank you - I have been aspiring to do front splits but have little to none flexibility and tight hamstrings and calf muscles but I'm working on achieving them and your honest video gave me a lot of hope! I can inch forward with my right leg and rest my hip on a block but the left side is not there yet - little by little 😊 ❤

[@mairavp]

Awesome!! Thank you, Kassandra!

[@Angelgrl]

Hi, thank you! I have been working on my splits...great tips!!!❤🎉😊

[@Minimalrevolt-m83]

I've been waiting for my whole life to do this especially from your yoga lessons. Finally! Thanks Kassandra.

[@michalinasikora8704]

thank you so much!!!! i needed this routine ❤

[@dt2phillips]

Thanks for the tips!

[@clairecoulardeau5900]

Thank you, but please don't forget to get more strength to your leg muscles to send a positive signal to your brain so he can feel safe by going further in the split. Strength is important not to get injuries!

[@HaniAdvanced]

Thank you so much for this Video 🙏 it was right on time! I always do ur morning and evening classes and my daughter (age 11) recently got into stretching too and she really wanted to learn splits.. And with this Video she got now within less than a week to the ground.. It helped her alot ❤

[@Marrha-r4b]

I’m 71 and can still do the splits (my anatomy likes this kind of splits). But don’t try to do them too fast. Last year I pulled the piriformis while showing off for the grandkids! Ouch!😮

[@Kyrobucks]

Thanks!

[@Jo_spice_blackwood]

I've done this 3times now.this morning acknowledged i have tight thigh..psoas muscle maybe. I feel more comfortable overall doing this practice!

[@rachaellohrius5524]

this is exactly what i’ve been hoping to find! Thank you so much Kassandra! I watch your yoga vids everyday and you’ve helped bring peace into my life! thank you!❤

[@susanavazquez1378]

Although it was hard and felt awkward the first time, I have a relaxing feeling on my hips, legs and feet afterwards, as if a lot of my tension has been released. I thought I would be in pain!

[@NoaElouz]

Thank you for your videos you are the best❤

[@user-kl4en1qj2o]

Love this!

[@eliwalsh621]

Your timing couldn't be better! Thank you so much, I feel much closer to my goal already 🥰🌻❤️

[@FragrantGarden3783]

This is terrific. I had made this a personal goal a few weeks ago but this is so much more comprehensive than I was doing. Thank you heaps

[@naokog6422]

Thank you so much for this video. I will be working with it and see how far I get in a month! So fun.

[@annaroberts6374]

I love this model! I’d love more guidance for poses like this! ❤❤

[@jvlcixm]

Wow Kassandra, thank you! It was wonderful. I saw amazing progress already after one practice on one side!!!! So excited to be coming back to this

[@jaymielee6160]

Thank you.

[@maryreilly8966]

Thank you for all the details. You look beautiful. Love all your classes. Congratulations on achieving your goal! Namaste 🙏💚

[@jennifermary2350]

Great tips & stretches for front splits which I’ve been working on for ages!! About 4” from the floor!! Well done you pretty well made it😊👍 The Pilates soft ball is terrific as I do Pilates (as well as yoga) for core strength and overall strength with weights or resistance bands. Thank you Kassandra - you are looking very trim & toned and lovely ❤

[@emmaeIIe]

Well, Hanumanasana is a Yoga pose, isn't it 😆? Thanks for sharing your routine. I was expecting a practice towards Hanumanasana.

[@rachelgoldstein9195]

This is great, thank you! I don’t suppose you have a personal routine for the straddle/middle splits too? 😅 that’s where I struggle the most

[@jjfs5452]

you are almost at the splits x

[@vemnock3622]

My baby is glowing ❤❤

[@dp2404]

Great tips, but I wish this was a follow along video

[@stephenchatterley3583]

I might have to leave this one. Splits 😮

[@andreguix]

Namasté 🙏❤️❤️

[@aloisification]

Lets do this! 💪 ...ll keep u updated 😊

[@Jo_spice_blackwood]

Wow That was pleasant and Intense Id been doing your yin spluts vids for about a year roughly once a week Saturdays Been convalescing..this is my first yin style in 3weeks...stopping this vidvin places 24mins thisvtime Sure ut will be more fluid as i repeat class. Glad i got to do it though more apprehensive then when i watched vidbon Monday. 🎉

[@andreafuzzi9484]

heart beating is crucial for the kegel stretch which helps legs

Can we get a summer equinox routine please?

[@donnason5066]

ive been looking for something like this for ages!!! thank you so much kassandra 🫶

[@praktijk.dekolibrie]

❤❤❤

[@heathbar430]

Thank you so much for this, Kassandra! I had a goal of getting my splits this year but fell off of it after taking myself a little too far too fast. One question I have is about hip squaring. Do we need to keep our hips pretty square for proper split form or does that not really matter?

[@yogawithkassandra]

That comes with time! As flexibility develops it will be easier and easier to square the hips forward.

[@heathbar430]

Thank you so much for the response. I think my focus on hip squaring from the start was also hindering my progress. Excited to start making this a regular practice again!

[@Andrea-cs3qf]

I was happy to do this practice but I was disappointed I couldn't do it alongside the video😕

[@ath021075]

Does this sequence also helps with the middle splits? I'm nothing flexible. I think the max I can open my legs is at 90° 🤦

[@janciloz]

Could this help me with my headstand? I just can't put my hips above my head and I can't raise a leg in the downward dog position...

[@eliasjenkins845]

Maybe a new goal for you is meditation in the splits??

[@donnalocascio752]
