Yoga Wall Straddle Split

Yoga Wall Straddle Split Exercise

The Straddle Splits may seems like a ridiculously unattainable posture, set aside only for gymnasts or the very enthusiastic teenagers with naturally open hips and legs.

The truth is that this pose offers some excellent and unique benefits for the body, such as opening in the hips in a way that is not usually done, opening the inner thigh muscles, strengthening the core and gluteus muscles, and even opening the deep pelvic muscles most of us never touch.

This pose is generally practiced sitting straight up, with the legs opened wide apart, which requires deep flexibility and strength.

This is a step by step tutorial to a yoga frog split to help move you towards your Straddle on the Wall.

Give it a try.
