standing split

I'm no expert, but my understanding is that you need to have an over split to do standing splits (i.e. to use your muscles to pull legs apart into a split without the assistance of gravity and/or the floor). So train your over splits!!!

Standing split with against the pole or just standing with out pole?

Do you have a photo of what you'd like to learn? There is a lesson here on doing a standing split on the pole. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4cd55c9c-ea78-442e-98bc-4ecd0ac37250

That's a "Bow and Arrow" variant (not to be confused with the pole trick). It's difficult and has some entry variations. The picture is a hardcore one as she's up on her toes and does it with an artful arm variation. Not to mention that her split is perfect. Side kicks are good to practise, as well as hamstring flexibility and hip opening. If you want I can give you links of when I do this.

I know, this is a perfect split! Yes please, send me! Thank you!

Here's a video where I dedicate the first 100 seconds to the bow and arrow. https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/522316d5-3e4c-4114-803e-57470ac37250 Now I actually see that on the picture you attached, the girl does not keep her inner arm in front of the leg, which it usually is in a full bow and arrow, but I think the preparation should be the same anyway. First up in the video I do it without putting that arm in front of the leg - maybe that's more what you are looking for then. My preference is to bring my thigh as close to my body as possible before I develop the leg into straight. I like to hold the foot of the leg that I'm developing from the outside. Some may prefer a different grip, and not everyone like to hold the foot, but rather the ankle. You will just have to try and see what seems to fit you most. It is also possible to grab the foot/ankle with the opposite hand (I do this variant as well in the video) and straighten the leg. As you do so, you can keep the free arm in front of the leg or behind it, depending on what end position you want (full bow and arrow, or more like on your picture). It's difficult and takes a lot of flexibility and balance so it will probably take some practise if you're not very flexible already. Let us know how it goes!

that's great! Thank you Lina! I will! :)
