Everyone can do a split. Yes, everyone, regardless of your age and physical background. We all have 2 hip joints and 1 pelvis and that’s a great place to start!

Split is a skill, therefore it requires more than just flexibility, but strength, mobility and muscle coordination. Save yourself injuries, time and frustration and let’s get you strong for your splits on the ground and up in the air!About your teacher: Tonya Letunovskaya is a movement coach, aerial performer, and former gymnast with a Masters degree in physical education.This workshop is limited to 6 people in-studio.
