Split Come into a low lunge with the left knee bent and the right knee resting on the floor behind you. Shift your weight back, bending your right knee and straightening your left leg. Place a block or rolled-up blanket under your left hamstring if you need to. Start to inch your left foot away from you, lowering the hips into Split. No need to go all the way down into a full Split! Hold wherever you feel a deep stretch in the left hamstring for five breaths. Repeat on the other side.
