Hurray you’re improving so much, it looks like you’re practicing a lot too, way to go! You’ll get that foot to head by building the muscles in your back. I’m glad you know what PNF stretching is, that definitely helps!!
The more I built my back strength in this new range of motion, the greater my flexibility became. Breathing, isometric training, pnf stretching and dynamic stretching all work together beautifully to build strength.
Love that last stretch against the pole! It looks like all you need to do is push yourself away from the pole, creating a deeper lunge, the deeper your lunge the closer your foot will be to your head.
I love your dedication, despite a lazy day, which I can totally understand! And you’re a poler too, yay! So many people here are pole dancers!! Pole and flexibility unite 😉
Hope your new plan works out for ya. It’s definitely difficult balancing strength and flexibility, but it sounds like you got it under control.
Once I figured out how to relax and engage the proper muscles, I unlocked a couple of inches; especially when I breathed super deep and slow. I really believe the more you breath, the bendier you’ll be. 😉
Yay I’m glad you joined, I’m looking forward to seeing your progress 🙂
Push your shoulders up up and away, once your arms are straight you should be able to walk your hands in further. You’re hips look open, you’re lower back looks bendy, quads look a little tight; focus on those arms and shoulders more than anything and that should get you closer to your feet!
All I do for pictures is take video with my phone and screenshot. They even have this cheap plastic thing on amazon that holds your phone and screws on to almost any tripod. http://amzn.to/1UhmfL9
I’m happy you’ve joined us, I’m looking forward to seeing those backbends 🙂

So happy to see your progress! You’re going to be ultra bendy by 100 days!! 🙂
Love that Get Bent DVD, good stuff! I’m excited to follow your progress, hopefully that split will be close to the ground by the end 🙂
When my legs start to shake, I focus on deep breathing; relaxing and contracting muscles to acknowledge where it is I am not relaxing.
Happy Stretching!
