Splits by Christmas

Ten gentle minutes a day for looser hips, longer hamstrings and an easier back. We test on day 1, and again on Christmas Day, to see how far you've come.

Do the day-1 test

Sit with your legs straight and reach for your toes, then hold a low lunge. Note where you are: shins, ankles or toes.

The Christmas retest

Do the same two tests from day 1 and post your result in the group. Most people won't reach full splits in 30 days, and that's fine. Nearly everyone gets closer, and that is what we celebrate.

Ease in, every day
  • Stretch to a mild pull, never sharp pain. Breathe slowly the whole time.
  • Use blocks, books or cushions under your hands and hips. Support is not cheating.
  • Never bounce. Stay a little short of your limit and let the breath take you deeper.
  • If you're pregnant, recovering from an injury or surgery, or have a hip, knee or back condition, check with your doctor or physio first.
