splits are part of the curriculum

True story in my flexibility class. A fantastic class. We stretch and stretch. And then one day we were instructed to go into the splits. "What?" "You heard me...splits are part of the curriculum." Oh man! In my younger years I did gymnastics. I tumbled all over the floor. I flipped around the bars. I ran across the balance beam. I could bend myself forward and backwards. Splits were never my thing. And guess what...they still aren't. Fortunately, they aren't a requirement to pass. Another good thing...Power naps are also part of the curriculum. Everyday. Brilliant!
