Tried so hard to find a before pic of my middle splits. Top is around when I first started pole and wasn’t super focused on training flexibility. I hated middle splits until a few months ago. That’s 4-5 years of not enjoying middle splits and dreading them, feeling like my hips were going to break, straining my hamstring or feeling it in the backs of my knees, etc. I spent my 1-1.5 years being pushed into my pancake and sometimes middle splits which did not help either. Nowadays if I am pushed during a session with Serchmaa, I am way more in control and engaged instead of trying to relax. But I don’t really like being pushed in my stretches in general.

Some people ask me if middle splits ever get better. In my experience, yes, they can get better. How long will it take? Some people feel better in months and maybe it’ll take years like it took me. It might take even longer.

Hello upper back 🙋🏻‍♀️

Even though my shoulders have never been tighter than they are now, you can’t really tell right?

I love/hate this one. So tiring and low key scary but helps me access my cervical spine.

And that’s a wrap! Thank you so much Serchmaa for a wonderful intensive. I learned a lot this week and loved getting all the spots that made me look like I can do my contortion push-ups 😅 and the biggest win was today when I held my freestanding handstand on that ledge ❤️ Excited to build my act with you.
