Well… This video is helpful, but I don’t even have splits like you… I can grab my ankle just because I have a flexible shoulder and back. But my hip flexor doesn’t let me pull up my leg… Any advice…?
i can do it but i know i can inprve ive goten better evry year i got my Ist ring kick at 5 then strated straiting it at 7 then got really good at it at 8 and now im 10 and im soo close to getting it really good by the way ima girl called bella
642 wannabes just couldn’t stand perfection! lol could be some so called jealous “friends”.Alivia you do a great job!
I’m so close to getting my needle, I realized the only reason why I couldn’t do it was because my left split wasn’t flexible enough to do a solid split. So after stretching it a bit I’m so close! My back is pretty flexible so it probably helped with the progress. Funny thing is my right split would have been enough but my shoulder and back just don’t work as well so I can’t get into the position, which is why I have to get my left split better.
Thank you so so so much for this tutorial!! I have always been pretty flexible but I could never get my needle! And just after 3 days I got it! This has helped so much! Thank you!
Hello Alivia. I hope you have time to read this comment and even thought it’s just something little from me. I foun out about your channel when your video “How to do elbow handstand” popped out on my front page. I was to scared to completely fall into the handstand, but I got in the right position few times. Thanks to you, I have learned my scorpion and I’m doing your middle split workout every day. I am still struggling with the needle but you are helping, again! Sorry if this was too long I just wanted to let you know that your channel has got me to my goals.
PS. Sorry if I have some spelling mistakes I am can speak English but I am from another country.
No one:

Anyone else notice the Friday Night Dinner Music in the background?
ok so i have dance tryouts coming up (virtual *ugh*) and i was going to try to get a needle for my extra trick but i’ve come to realize that my back is not nearly flexible enough for that so i moved it down to a scorpion and at first i didnt know how to grab my foot but now i can succesfully get into the position because i watched your videos yayyyy i still have to work on it alot because i always fall out of it really quickly.
yayyyyyy….i got my NEEDLE….YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
THANK YOU SO MUCH ALIVIA…
Do we have to balance while we do the needle? Cuz I keep falling down
me watching this even though i can’t do the splits like
Omg i did two stretch vids and i learnt my Scorpio but I. Am already a gymnast
I like how your videos make those tricks seem much more possible to do than what I precieved in my mind.
Is really work,i can do it in 2 or 3 minute after saw your video
Thanks for the tips of getting my needle and for my scorpion I did it even tho im not flexible and now I’m working on my neddle
I really want to do a needle I have tried for a while it is hard I will update when I got it

shes not that flexible thojust saying
ps. this tutorial didnt help me learn my backsplit/needle just here to watch cause i saw this on my recommendations
um girl wdym 0:41 thats a needle lol and 0:55 is and overextended needle lmao
I can put my leg up in the air and hold it, but I can’t get my other arm to also grab my leg, what should I do?
I can do a chin and the splits but I can’t do the needle is this normal?
how do i message u on insta it doesnt say meesage it just says follow
I tried the needle but my back wasnt flexible enough so it really hurt
I feel like I can do this, but when I’m like naturally standing, my leg goes back further than one of a normal human, and I’m afraid my leg will snap in half. Does anyone have any tips?
For some reason I just can’t. 4:09 is the part where I can’t do. I can’t pull it to a needle like I can’t have both hands are my leg!!!
I didn’t do it but it did help I think if I do these stretches daily I will be able to do it but i was really close to doing the needle but it was really helpful I like how u help people do things with there body’s that they can’t do but they want to learn also ur amazing
My “needle” made me realise how much easier it would me if my arms weren’t so short in comparison to my legs like my legs are so long compared to my body and head
Day 1) my needle looks like a dorito:(
Day 2) may needle got a bit straighter, I was able to grab the middle of my foot! Later that day I practiced more and it got EVEN straighter! I can also grab my ankle!
Day 3) I’m almost straight! I also need to walk my hands a bit further
Day 4) work in progress
Day 5) work in progress
Day 6) work in progress
Day 7, a.k.a last day) work in progress
The thing that you don’t think is a stretch: it’s actually a floor needle
