How often should I stretch
I'm confused…Veena says on her lessons you should only stretch and rain for flexibility 1-3 times per week, but on the forum I see people saying they will be practising daily to reach their splits and I have also heard before that stretching needs to be maintained every day for flexibility to be reached.
Is it just a full flexibility session that is not suitable? Maybe some daily light stretches are okay? I have a yoga dvd that I am trying to do daily at the moment, but I realy want to get my splits down, so want to practice daily split stretches as well…..
Any advice?

If your taking the lessons I cover the difference between Stretching and Flexibility training in this lesson https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd66731-eab0-4b4a-aa13-41ad0ac37250.
Flexibility training is used to improve and increase flexibility. Stretching is used to maintain, and should be done after strength training, with the focus on stretching the muscles used. This should only take a few mins and it can be done daily. Flexibility training is much more involved and intense. I strongly feel you should not train everyday. Flexibility takes TIME

The splits routines do look intense. I'll be sure to start with that only once a week.

Hi Veena!:)
I was just wondering if the video you’ve linked above (https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4dd66731-eab0-4b4a-aa13-41ad0ac37250.) has been removed? When I click the link it’s just an empty page dated 1970 ):
