So once we're in our split position it's very beneficial to try and bend forward with that,
which will then stretch all of the muscles along the front of the leg. Now, it's very
challenging to do this sometimes, so all we're going to try and do to begin with, is to walk
the hands slightly forward, and extend them out as far as they can go. And from this position,
just hold that position and breathe. Whatever position we get our bodies into, if we can
hold the position and breathe, we give the muscles a chance to relax. We allow them to
fill with oxygen; we allow them to get the fibrous tissue to be much more flexible. So,
holding positions and breathing is very important.
