We're warming up
We're taking a short pause while Ballet With Isabella steps into something new. Same world-class training. A bigger mission behind it. This next chapter is about more than ballet. It's about how you train, and how you show up – in and out of the studio.
We'll be back soon. In the meantime... keep it moving
- 32 calf rises each leg! – keep it slow and controlled
- 30 glute bridges – lengthen through the floor
- 1 minute plank - embrace the shakes!
- 4 x 30 second balances in retiré each side – if you fall, we start from the top!
- Practice your pirouettes from 5th and 4th each side. Try each turn until you feel 1 percent progress
- An arabesque each side – master it, and make it clean
- 1 minute butterfly stretch – breathe, don’t force, keep your back long and actively push the knees out
This guide is for anyone who’s ever said, “I’d love to get my splits… one day.”
The Get Your Splits Guide is a progressive 9-week journey designed to help you increase flexibility safely and consistently, no matter your starting point. Whether you’re new to stretching, returning after a break, or simply want to deepen your range with more structure, this guide gives you the tools to get there.
Across three phases, you’ll build the key ingredients of safe, supported flexibility: mobility, alignment, strength and breath. In the early weeks, we focus on creating space in the hips and hamstrings. Then we layer in deeper stretches, active holds and strength work to support the new range. In the final phase, we bring everything together with full-length practices and refined drills to help you feel confident and in control.
You’ll learn how to stretch with intention, challenge your edge without overdoing it, and build the kind of flexibility that lasts. More than just getting closer to the floor, this guide is about helping your body feel better — stronger, more open, and more connected.
Consistency is your secret weapon. Now, let’s get you to the floor, one day, one centimetre at a time.
We recommend doing each level for three weeks.
