This 65-minute practice is a mindful and empowering journey toward Samakonasana, or middle splits - a pose that challenges both body and mind in equal measure. This class is designed to help you explore and gently deepen your mobility, wherever you're starting from.
Through a progressive sequence of dynamic movement, strength-building postures, and supported stretches, we’ll target the hip flexors, hamstrings, inner thighs (adductors), and glutes—all essential areas for enhancing hip flexibility, pelvic stability, and functional lower body strength.
As we move toward the middle splits, you'll develop not only range of motion, but also body awareness, control, and patience. Practicing this pose regularly can help:
• Prevent injury by balancing muscular tension and strength
• Improve posture and alignment by creating space in the pelvis and spine
• Enhance circulation in the lower body
• Support joint health by safely exploring end ranges of motion
We’ll close with grounding breathwork and longer-held postures to support integration and softening.
Why practice middle splits?
Because in creating space in the body, we often discover space in the mind. This practice teaches us how to meet intensity with breath, effort with ease, and resistance with curiosity.
