In this weekly stretching session, we will work on improving active flexibility and specifically flexibility in our splits. This class is perfect for anyone wanting to develop active flexibility. Active flexibility is working the stretches in motion and not just in a still stretch on the floor. We will be doing kicks, holds, and other activities to improve our splits and range of motion. We will learn how to work our split skills in a healthy and safe progression. I will be stretching right along with the learners to show the proper stretching techniques. We will be doing all three splits, left, right, and center, as well as, a variety of other stretches to work on flexibility in our major muscle groups. Flexibility is something that develops over time with practice, but having a weekly time dedicated to stretching can really boost stretching ability! Each day we will start with a 5-10 minute warm-up to make sure that our muscles are warm before stretching. We will discuss the importance of a warm-up and how to stretch safely without causing injury. Following the warm-up, we will spend 10 minutes on the floor stretching our splits. We will go over stretching all parts of the body, but a large focus will be on our hamstrings for split flexibility. This is also a great time for us to chat and get to know each other during class! The last 10 minutes of class will be focused on active flexibility - different kicks, holds, and movements to improve our range of motion in the splits! No experience is needed to take this class, I will walk you step by step through the stretches. All skill levels are encouraged. I will be showing skill-appropriate stretches for all levels to practice the splits safely. This class is a great addition to my Weekly Splits Focus but it is not necessary to complete the Splits Focus before joining this session.

Learning Goals
Students will learn the proper stretches and techniques to improve their flexibility and work on their active splits, kicks, and holds. Splits don't happen overnight, but students will learn the techniques to practice safely on their own after class time.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Stretching should be done in an open room with space to move around and stretch on the floor without running into any furniture. We will be discussing safe stretching in class but students should be encouraged to go slowly and work on their splits little by little to prevent injury.
Supply List
You will want to have space in your house on the floor where you have room to stretch without running into any furniture. Carpeting is fine, or if you have a hard floor I recommend laying down a yoga mat or something softer to stretch on. Please wear comfortable clothes that you can move around in to class. Leggings or sweatpants are a great choice!

I was a competitive gymnast for over 10 years, and have coached gymnastics on and off for the last 8 years. It's something I love and am very passionate about! With the pandemic, I am not currently coaching in a gym, so I am so excited to get some stretching time with Learners on Outschool!
