    My goodness, Marina, I don't think my hips have ever felt better in my life! My hamstrings jam up on me sometimes so it can make it hard to get the hip stretches I need, but this video did the trick! You're fantastic! Thank you!

    Well I knew that I am far away to achieve middle splits but doing this practice showed me that I actually wasn’t practicing properly. Never did I feel that I was working in opening my hips that way.
    Thanks for making this middle splits practice. I will include it in my practice and will share the results soon.
    Thanks again🙏🏻

    It is one of my favourite practices. I love to work on the middle splits maybe also because that's where I have the most success. It's easy for me than the front splits. I have made so much progress on this skill. I feel that my hips have strengthened and now everything is easier in my everyday life, more fluid, lighter. I also notice less fatigue in the evening after a long day. Again thank you very much Marina! 😊❤️

    • @MarinaAlexeeva

    Marina, I'm pretty sure, that today was the first time, I was able to relax in the frog pose. 🤯 Now I get why you say that normally you would need even more warmup than we did in this practice before attempting frog pose in your practice to really go deep and relax. 🙌 The first practice in today's intermediate schedule definitely did something for me, even the warmup of this class right here felt easier than usual.

    • @MarinaAlexeeva
      @MarinaAlexeeva  3 роки тому

    Week 4 day 1: for me personally a very hard practice but I know I need them more than necessary ;-) I find it very difficult to release tension in the hips and in my inner thigh muscles ... it requires a lot of focus and persistence. Getting back out of the frog position after such a long time really takes a lot of effort, so I have to take it super easy. The side lunges also require a lot of practice and work, but I know that something like this takes time so I will continue to do this routine every week along with my other practices. I hope to get to a point where I can do this more smoothly without suffering so much ;-) I already feel that it works!

      I love this message Emilie ! Thank you for sharing your experience ! I absolutely understand how you feel ! I was absolutely the same for many years !!! I can reassure you that with practice it changes but you need patience. Do not push your self too hard in the beginning, take it easier - so that you do not quit it !

      Oh do not worry, you can repeat this practice once a week every week !!! It will only be good to your body !!! If you want to achieve middle splits this practice should be repeated often !! And do not get disheartened if it takes time - that is normal !

    (Feb 24) i felt a lot of resistance in my hips today, and i guess sometimes it’s like that, but none the less am thankful that i got to practice my external rotations and internal rotations. funnily enough i tried some stretches in bed and i could reach deeper. perhaps the surface is softer? 😅

    • @MarinaAlexeeva

      It is much easier in bed ! I used to hold frog pose in bed in the beginning because I could not stomach doing it on the floor...Splits also feel easier in bed or on the sand on the beach for example !

    Marina its good to stretch for both middle and front splits on the same day?

    • @MarinaAlexeeva
      @MarinaAlexeeva  3 роки тому +1

      Hello ! You mean within the same practice ? Yes - I often do it. Front splits are rather easy for me now, so the do not require deep preparation. So I practice them before middle splits. Often as a hip mobility exercise moving from right to left front splits. If front splits are still challenging for practitioner it might be effort and time demanding to cover all splits so than they can be divided into separate days. I hope I made myself clear. But it is just my strategy. Because sometimes it is great to practice a little bit of all splits stretches - you know ?

      @@MarinaAlexeeva @Marina Alexeeva I got it!!! I always confused if I was stretching too much - or too less - for my splits. Almost done with the front split, your routine helped me a lot!!! So I may cover my front splits and then start a full practice for middle splits since this one its harder for me. Right now I'm doing a quick one with frog poses to get ready!! It was lovely meeting your channel, you help me breathe and recognize my body work❤️
