How to do Splits | Hanumanasana Tutorial with Briohny Smyth

Splits are great for stretching your entire lower body. When practiced on a regular basis, they can greatly improve your hip flexibility.

Here are some health benefits of Splits:
- Strengthen and stretch your hamstrings, quads, and groin muscles.
- Increase hip flexibility when practiced regularly
- Stretch lower back muscles
- Improve functioning of digestive and reproductive organs

How to do Splits:
1. Start from a half-split position by flexing your front foot and engaging your quad to protect your knee.
2. Slide your front foot forward and slide your back knee backward to your best ability.
3. Once you’re in the full position, lift the quad of the front leg, squeeze your inner thighs together, and lift your navel.
4. For extra support, keep your hands down at your sides, or reach your arms up for the full expression.
