In this weekly stretching session, we will work on improving overall flexibility and specifically flexibility in our splits. This class is perfect for anyone wanting to develop their 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 week of dedicated stretching time 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 15-20 minutes stretching. 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 couple minutes of class will be time to show off our progress, and show off those 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.

Learning Goals
Students will learn the proper stretches and techniques to improve their flexibility and work on their splits. 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 a 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!Reviews
