I will do certain exercises twice a day :) I have a little more flexibility and I am happy with the results so far. I will continue!

    I FINALLY TOUCHED THE GROUND IN THE WALL BRIDGE!!
    *UPDATE*
    After I got my backbend, I realized how if I really set my mind on something I wanted to achieve, I eventually would. Last year I signed up for acrobat at my dance studio. It was very hard for me to sign up for acrobat, I was very nervous and felt like I would be the weak link in the class. But I did anyway. I really had to push myself in acrobat. I can now do backbends and crab walks with ease. Wall bridges are an easy stretch for me now😂. I also can do a front limber and front walker now. And it’s all thanks to you Alivia.❤️
    My next goal is to get my kickover😅

    Ight, I’m gonna be attempting to increase my flexibility
    Day 1 May 9th: Couldn’t touch feet in the first few, couldn’t go into bridge from a wall, Couldn’t even get feet close to head in the dog pose, could barley reach ankles while dangling, I was able to do a bridge by itself but I struggled and managed to stay up for the seconds. I’m not expecting anything different for quite a while but who knows. My back is sad and in pain right now
    Day 2: I could kind of touch the floor while standing, not much else was different
    Day 3: Not really any difference, back still isn’t very flexible but It’s only been a few days.
    Day 4: Still not much difference
    Day 5: Not a whole lots changed but it doesn’t feel as painful with certain stretches
    Day 6: Still not much different
    Day 7: Same as Day 6
    Day 8: Back stretching forward is still pretty crap, bending backwards noticeably different than Day 1.
    Day 9: Meh
    Day 10: Forward back flexibility is still crap
    Day 11: Only improvement so far noticeably is bending my back backwards
    Day 12: Took day off
    Day 13: I think it’s still gonna be a while before I can bend my back forwards more, bending backwards is still pretty good and not as painful as it was in the beginning
    Day 14: Not really anything new
    Day 15: Still getting slightly easier but not much
    Day 16: Back bending forwards is a bit more forward
    Day 17: Not really any change
    Day 18: About the same
    Day 19: Bridges have gotten much easier compared to the start
    Day 20: Not much different
    Days 21-25: Stretching forwards has gotten a bit easier
    June 18: Bending backwards is pretty simple for me now, bending forwards is still not really a major difference since when I started, wish she showed more forward bending exercises
    June 24: I’m bad at updating, still doing my streches and improving slightly. One thing I have noticed is I’ve gone from 5’8 in the mornings to around 5’8 1/4. Don’t know if this is because of the yoga or what, maybe I can reach 5’9.
    July 6: Bending forwards has gotten slightly easier but I still have a long way to go
    July 8: About the same
    July 15: Able to bend a bit more backwards than usual
    August 20: back bending is still the most improved, bending forwards still isn’t the greatest
    September 17: I think my hamstrings are starting to slightly loosen, I’ve checked my height and I’m now around a centimeter above the 5’8 1/2 mark, not sure if this is still my spine still straightening or my body just finishing up growing.
    December 14: Oof, been a while, I'm still doing my stretches but I usually skip a day or two a week. Good news is I haven't lost any flexibility and I'm now around the 5'8 3/4 mark, this could be because of me growing or just from my spine still getting straighter, although my doctor did X ray my elbow in August 2019 and said my growth plates are still open there and I believe they are one of the first plates to close, so there's still hope in terms of me growing I guess.

Sure, I can practice every day and probably get there in about a year. But I'm telling you... girls START way ahead . They usually can already almost do that stretch and only need perhaps a few weeks to nail it completely. Same goes with the other stretches.

    but thank you for making this video I'm not flexible at all so this took a bit of a toll on me but in the end I felt refreshed and I think I did better then I expected to do hopefully I'll get better in flexibility with time 😂

I have to do the backbend for a coreography (I'm a dancer) and I was very anxious about that 'cause I am not that flexible kind of person. My dance teacher told me I have to do eighter a backbend or a front flip, so I chose the backbend. I searched youtube tutorials and this is the best!! Now I can do a backbend anywhere. Thank you so much!!

    Everytime I do these stretches I will update you on my back flexibility :)
    1st time : lower back was a bit sore but I’m used to it cause I basically have that pain almost everyday. My back cracked multiple times but it felt good because it was releasing tension.
    2nd time : my right lower back was sore during the seal stretch. overall, these stretches feel good especially when your back cracks !
    3rd time: superrrr sore lower back but I use ice packs and it gets numbed so I can’t feel it anymore
    4th time: back feeling greater than ever, it feels more flexible however I still can’t touch my feet to my head during the seal stretch :(
    5th time: less flexible than the last time but not sore but I’m still using ice packs for my lower back.
    6th time: still pretty sore but i know i gained a bit flexibility
    7th: feeling better so i pushed passed my limits and i was able to go on my elbows when i was in a bridge
    8th: back is so tight and sore, i just took this time easy and used ice packs
    9th: getting my flexibility back a little and back is still a bit sore
    10th: back not sore, only passed my limits by a little. DONT OVER DO THE STRETCH!

    Okay I'll try yo keep you guys updates.
    Day 1. I heard a few pops in my back, I'm exhausted and I'm lying in bed now. The wall thing almost killed me, I could do two hands down but that kind of didn't make a difference. I tried the bridge but couldn't get my head up. I felt muscles and parts of my bodies I didn't knew existed.
    Day 2
    I've got further down on the wall, not much but it was a bit easier than yesterday. . I again couldn't lift my head in the bridge, my arms didn't have the strength to push me up but we'll see how this turns out (double edit : I had tried the wall thingy again last night and almost went halfway down. No idea why it had worked then.)
    Day 3
    I was sore on my stomach last night but other than that I was alright. I'm still halfway on the wall thingy. I think I'm getting a few hands down but I'm not sur eof it's already halfway.
    Today for the first time my hand stouched the ground when I tried to touch my toes. I could bend more easily down. I even feel better, my back doesn't hurt anymore. Anyways I have noodle arms and no strength in them so I couldn't get myself up in the bridge. I have to work on that. I'm suprised that I've gotten this far after 3 days.
    Day 4
    I could reach almost the backside of my knees when I bend back and tried to touch as far back as I could. It's easier to bend down. The wall thingy I think I got a bit further down. Still much to go. But hey progress.
    My back hurts. But I'll survive it. I mightve over done it but well, shit happens.
    I still have noodle arms so I didn't get to do the bridge at the end.
    I'll admit it I've been to lazy to do it the last three days. I'll try to continue tomorrow

    Everytime I do a stretch I feel and hear my back crackle very loudly. each time I think "oh there can't be more back to pop". Trust me, it never ends.

    Thank you Alivia! I've never had good back flexibility but my leg flexibility is great. I'm so excited you did this video!

      Same here but I think part of the reason for my bad back flexibility is my scoliosis so yeah. I’m hoping this helps.

    I am a level 7 acrobatic who used to have a very flexible back. Unfortunately, I got a wrist injury and now I can barely do anything like bridges, back-handsprings and pretty much most things to do with your hands in dance/gymnastics/acrobatics. I have now quit acrobatics cause of the injury. Now seeing these videos are encouraging me to start working on gaining back my back and leg flexibility. Thank you so much for making these cause without you I wouldn't be able to do my turns or splits etc. I have learnt so much so far and everyday now working on some littler steps to make it back to my advanced self. I know in my right mind I can still do these at ease but I just can't force myself to cause I am scared of another injury. Thank you again and stay safe!

      I started just like that, I had to leave my head against the floor 'cause my arms were not strong enough to lift it, but it has been like 2 weeks and I can finally lift my head... I don't have the same shape as Livy, but I am getting better. I stretch twice a day, everyday! so STAY MOTIVATED!
