    just wanted to chime in here since i tried the jade for the first time last night… (i’ve been putting off working on this until i had my full splits, but got a little encouragement from kyra and lian last night)….

    like everyone is saying here– the twist in the hips really helps. unlike a full side split, your hips are NOT SQUARE for this move! hahah. dooooh. so although i can’t do a full side split, i can jade. although the side that i usually gemini/hip pike on– is my "bad side" for splits… sigh. more wrongsidedness! ugh. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif

    What helped me get the jade was to look and twist to the side and really pull to the side of the leg you are pulling on. Before I finally figured that out I was looking straight up toward my back foot which made me tip over like a little tea pot!

    that’s the tick tock! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
