Yancy SchwartzLauren breaks down Standing Splits (Urdva Prasarita Eka Padasana) Level 1/2 Standing Splits is a deep stretch for the legs, especially the hamstings. It will challenge your balance and coordination. It is also a mild yoga inversion, since your head is below your heart, so you will benefit from the circulation. It also reduces stress and strengthens your overall immunity. *Modifications: Bend your standing leg to comfort and feel free to use a block or two to place your hands on. Watch Lauren instruct Molly step by step to get her splitting!

Lauren was born and raised in Los Angeles. She began practicing yoga as a college student at UCLA to help integrate physical movement with her work as a storyteller. After falling in love with yoga she took her first teacher training and began teaching soon after. She feels so blessed to share yoga as an empowering practice that moves with you off the mat and into your life.
