Even the Stiffest People Can Do the Splits

Since childhood, many people have wished they could be more flexible. Doing the splits is seen as the epitome of flexibility, and we tend to feel jealous when we watch someone easily and gracefully do them. This book is for those with a stiff body who dream of doing the splits. As far as I know, no other books have been written specifically about doing the splits.
 
The author, Eiko, is a yoga instructor who continues to develop different methods for making the body more flexible. She has countless students in their 60’s and 70’s who are able to do the splits effortlessly, and her splits video released in 2015 has gotten more than 2,500,000 views! For these reasons, everybody now calls her the “queen of the splits.” In fact, she is featured on the cover of this book. For this book, Eiko refined existing methods to put together a “4-week splits program.” This is her national debut as an author!
 
Start by doing two of the basic stretches every day. Then, add one new stretch to that routine every following week so that you will be doing a different set of three stretches every day. Continue this routine for no more than 5 minutes a day, and you’ll be doing perfect splits in just 4 weeks! Be aware that it may take a little longer for some people.
 
This book also includes a short story called “People Who Can’t Do the Splits Are Worthless”. The title seems a bit extreme, but it’s actually a moving story that you can enjoy before or after your stretches. You may think a short story isn’t needed in a book about stretching, but please read it. It will give you the motivation you need to get started and successfully finish the 4-week program.

Let this book give you the limber body you’ve always wanted!

I wasn’t very limber as a child, so doing the splits was beyond my wildest dreams. I too felt jealous when watching people do them. For this reason, I became very excited when I learned about Eiko’s methods, and I immediately wanted to publish them. These methods really work, and will allow people with stiff bodies to finally get the limberness — and ability to do the splits — that they’ve always wanted!
