How Do You Do Split Pose Stretches For Yoga?
Split pose stretches in yoga help with stabilization strength, balance and elongation of muscles. If done often enough and in good form, they can also facilitate tight hamstrings and calves. There are a number of these poses that can be done from standing and kneeling positions. The key is the warmup. You need to start off gradually and get your body acclimated for what it is in store for. So with that being said, here are some steps that will make sure you’re ready down the stretch. Find a comfortable spot. Locate a room in your house or in the gym that is quiet and free of obstructions. Lay out your yoga mat and take a seated position on the floor. Sit on a carpeted floor if you don’t have a mat. Comfort is the primary objective. Loosen up. Before doing any stretch poses, loosen and warm up the muscles by doing some other poses. The forward bend, or fold, is a good one. Do this first from a seated position. Extend your legs straight out in front of you. Lift your arms over your head
