Learn why you may not reach the splits and follow a 14-day daily warm-up stretching routine to improve front and middle split flexibility, with a results guarantee.
Identify ten common obstacles to achieving the splits, from motivation and consistency to warm-up, technique, recovery, and tracking progress, then follow practical steps to progress safely.
Kick off day one with a six-minute warm up, then move into the stretching using two blocks and a bed, with alternatives if you don't have these.
Start day 1 of finally flexible with a guided stretch sequence from downward facing dog to half splits and lizard pose, using breath and props to deepen hamstring flexibility.
Begin day two of split challenge with a two-song warm-up to fuel joints and muscles, then guide a focused stretch session to finish the warm-up and prepare for the workout.
Day two of the split challenge guides hip and hamstring stretches through active and passive poses like reclined butterfly, pigeon, frog, and downward facing dog.
Day three's warm up leads a five-minute session targeting hips, thighs, and booty with side-to-side moves, knee-to-elbow and leg raises, squats, hip circles, and jumping jacks, before the splits.
Day 3 stretching deepens the split with hip flexor and half-split work, frog and butterfly poses, and blocks for support, guided breathing, and alignment for relaxed, controlled progress.
Day four yoga focuses on happy hips and hamstrings, syncing breath with deep stretches to open the hips through asanas like downward dog, lizard, and pyramid pose.
Prioritize light activity on rest days, like walks and gentle stretching, and avoid deep stretches to allow recovery. Have a wonderful day and see you tomorrow.
Lead a five-minute warm up that guides hip movements, side-to-side motions, and gentle stretches, progressing to balance-focused hip opening and medium-depth stretches.
Join day five to deepen stretches by holding for 60 seconds, using two blocks and a belt to flow from butterfly to middle split, pigeon, and king pigeon with breathing.
Engage in a brief, dynamic warm-up focusing on hip and shoulder movement, leg raises, and alternating bend and straight motions before transitioning to stretching on the mat.
Day six of the split challenge guides you through dynamic warmups and static holds using two blocks and a pyramid pose to deepen your front split with deep breaths.
Day seven delivers dynamic warm ups and deep stretches to improve middle splits, featuring side squats, pigeon and butterfly poses, and front splits with blocks and breath work.
Day eight of the split challenge, perform a one song warm up followed by stretching hips and shoulders, with squats and jumping jacks to prep for movement.
Advance your splits with dynamic and static stretches, breath work, and two blocks guiding you from low lunge to lizard and pigeon for deeper hip opening.
Finally Flexible: Achieve Your Front Splits in Just 14 Days
Hi, I’m Sandy Brandes, a certified Yoga Teacher with over 5 years of teaching experience.
For years, despite regular stretching, I couldn’t achieve the front splits. It was frustrating! During my Yoga teacher training, I discovered that anatomy plays a significant role in flexibility—some people are naturally more flexible, while others, like me, face greater challenges.
But I didn’t let that stop me. Determined to overcome my limitations, I dived into research, studying everything from common barriers to flexibility, to the most effective warm-ups, and stretches.
Through this process, I finally achieved the front splits—a milestone I once thought impossible! Along the way, I also noticed improvements in my overall strength, posture, and mobility.
Now, I want to share what I’ve learned with you.
"Finally Flexible" is a carefully designed 14-day program that focuses primarily on achieving the front splits, with additional stretches to support progress in the middle splits. Whether you’re just starting out or have been struggling to make progress, this program will guide you step by step to unlock your flexibility, boost confidence, and achieve your goal.
Join me, and let’s work together to make your splits—and your flexibility dreams—a reality!
