Flexibility and Splits Yoga Coaching
Achieving your splits is a journey of patience, not just for gymnasts. I'll help you open your hips and build flexibility safely, whether we're practicing online or in your home. Let's get bendy, one stretch at a time.
Using blocks to support my middle split practice. Props help you hold the stretch for longer and sink deeper safely, which is how you build true flexibility.
Another middle split practice, this time trying to go a little deeper. Notice the yoga straps and blocks nearby. I always keep my props handy.
Mornings filled with movement. This is a dynamic flow that includes working towards the splits. It's not just about static holds, but also about moving with your breath.
A middle split session with my teacher Geeta. Even as a teacher, I am always a student. Here we are using the wall and blocks to work on alignment.
Pain is temporary, but the progress is so worth it. This video shows different stages of my flexibility practice, from using props to achieving the final pose.
It’s about the little moments that feel like magic. A deep hip-opening stretch using a strap to work towards Hanumanasana, or the front split.
And finally I realized, yoga hi mujhe khushi deta hai (Yoga is what gives me happiness). A beautiful front split on the beach.
Happy Splits Wednesday! A simple flow to get into the front splits at the gym. Consistency is the key to unlocking your body's potential.

About Flexibility & Splits (Get Bendy!)
Splits are a game of patience, not speed. In my sessions, we focus on using props like yoga blocks and straps to support your body while it opens up. This keeps you safe, prevents injury, and helps you reach your goal without forcing your muscles before they are ready.
Whether you are working toward the Hanumanasana (front splits) or Samakonasana (middle splits), the process requires a consistent approach. My training philosophy is simple: discipline beats motivation. We do not rush, and we definitely do not force our bodies into positions they aren't ready for.
How we unlock your flexibility
- Prop-supported progress: Blocks, straps, and wall support are not a sign of weakness. They are tools to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. I teach you how to use these to create safe, sustainable stretches.
- Personalized sequencing: If you have tight hamstrings or stiff hips, we don't just 'do splits.' We work on the foundation—hip openers, hamstring glides, and active flexibility drills—so your body naturally releases tension over time.
- Safe alignment: Whether you are joining my online 1-on-1 sessions or I am guiding you in your Bengaluru home, I focus on tactile cues and real-time form correction. Protecting your lower back and knees is always the priority.
It takes time, and some days will be harder than others—believe me, I have had plenty of those days. But if you show up and put in the work, you will see your body change. Ready to get started?

I am Priya. If you think I was born flexible, you should have seen me two years ago—knee push-ups were my biggest challenge. I don't believe in quick fixes; I believe in showing up, using props to practice safely, and celebrating every small milestone along the way.
