## Syllabus
Level descriptions and "What you'll discover" points are word for word from the sales page. Every level starts with an evaluation class.

### Level 1: The Flexibility Blueprint (Mastering The Basics To Set You Up For Unshakable Success)
In this week you’ll discover all the essentials to improve mobility and flexibility to not only start moving freely in your body, but also keep your flexibility for longer without having to worry about maintaining it all the time. We’ll start from the beginning without assuming any prior knowledge. With that said, even experienced athletes will discover some pro tips in this level.

What you'll discover:
- Understand the #1 benefit of combining mobility and flexibility training and why it’s crucial to your muscles health and to avoid sports injuries
- How to develop your flexibility fundamentals the ‘right’ way so it would require less time and effort to maintain it (even if you decide to increase your strength or develop your practice in other areas)
- How to leverage gravity to break through flexibility plateaus and resist gravity to develop strength to control that range of motion
- Why you should never stretch yourself to the point of pain and why working through painful flexibility could even leave you less flexible (you’ll know exactly what to do instead)
- Why learning flexibility as an adult is a huge advantage than learning as a kid (hint: it’s pain free)

In short: Starts from zero. No prior experience needed.

Classes: Full Body Stretch + Evaluation, Front Splits, Hips Mobility, Middle Splits, Back Flexibility.

### Level 2: The Breakthrough Formula (Start Moving Beyond Stuck Patterns In Your Mind And Body)
If you hit a plateau with your flexibility, it might be that your own mind is actually holding you back. It doesn’t even matter how well you’re following the technique, if your mind feels like you’re going too far or too fast it might send a signal to your body to stop the movement right away as an instinct to protect the muscles. And while many students struggle exactly with that, it’s actually quite straightforward once you start using the guidelines that you’ll discover in this week.

What you'll discover:
- Why it’s important to practice your flexibility at different speeds and how it can help to overcome flexibility plateaus (that were holding you back longer than you think)
- The exact stretching routine I used to improve my flexibility drastically that I learned from the circus contortionists
- Little known techniques on how to train your brain that the flexibility position is safe (this one simple technique could help you work towards your flexibility goals more efficiently)
- How to trick your body to feel safe enough to stretch a little bit deeper by building strength in the end range position

In short: Builds trust between your mind and your body: you learn to listen to your body and add new kinds of movement so it feels safe, because safety is what lets flexibility happen. Hanna’s rule: never push past 6, at most 7, out of 10.

Classes: Full Body Stretch + Evaluation, Front Splits, Middle Splits, Back Flexibility, Ankles Mobility & Knees Stability.

### Level 3: Deepen Your Stretching Practice (A Way To Unlock New Range Of Motion And Strengthen The Joints)
Choosing which type of flexibility technique to focus on and which ones to ignore is one of the key decisions you have to make if you want to progress towards your flexibility goals. The techniques you’re about to discover in this week will help you choose the right type in every situation!

What you'll discover:
- 3 types of flexibility methods for improving your range of motion and how you can benefit from each of them
- A common reason beginners struggle with limited range of motion is because of our society's way of living ‘office’ life (I’ll show you techniques for improving your range of motion, that performers do when they need to be at the tops of their game)
- How the pro contortionists work with combining stretching and resisting to dramatically increase their mobility (and how you can leverage it in your practice)
- 3 unique ways to measure your flexibility progress, so you’ll know exactly what’s working and what’s not

In short: More active and dynamic stretching, more strength work for the joints and more range of motion.

Classes: Full Body Stretch + Evaluation, Front Splits, Middle Splits, Back Flexibility, Shoulders Mobility.

### Level 4: Flexibility Blast (Take Your Stretching To The Next Level With Unique Dynamic Routines)
Do you practice just static flexibility holds because the rest are just too complex? Many think that flexibility is just holding the position for 30 seconds or as a warm up routine... But it couldn’t be further from the truth. In this level you’ll discover my unique dynamic flexibility routines that will introduce you to an entirely new world of stretching!

What you'll discover:
- Learn how adjusting the stretch can make it easier to progress into a deeper side splits, front splits and backbends.
- Everything you need to know about 'active' and 'passive stretching': when to use it, how to use it, and how it can help you get further with your flexibility goals.
- The surprising benefit of ‘deep breath’ techniques while stretching to make your muscles more relaxed (so you’ll never feel like you’re forcing your muscles to stretch)
- How to identify which muscles are holding you back from achieving your flexibility goals and how to choose the right routine to release the muscles (for instance: it might not be your back muscles holding you from backbends, rather the tightness in the front of your body)

In short: Brings in more props to work towards the program’s skills.

Classes: Full Body Stretch + Evaluation, Front Splits, Middle Splits, Back Flexibility, Spine Mobility.

### Level 5: True Flexibility (Tap Into Your Full Potential And Explore Advanced Flexibility Moves)
The best way to enjoy flexibility is to master all the fun skills! So in this level we’ll take everything you’ve learned so far and apply it to advanced flexibility moves. You’ll get follow along lessons to explore advanced moves, and enjoy to see how far you’ve come from level 1.

What you'll discover:
- Pancake stretch is actually not just a fun skill to have, it’s a powerful hip mobility skill that helps with balancing the lower back, hips and hamstrings (you will learn 3 methods on how to overcome common plateaus with pancakes)
- Many students encounter a plateau before achieving their full splits, you’ll learn exactly which muscles are involved, how to mix the exercises, and break every glass ceiling in your progress.
- One of the most important exercises you can do for your health is the bridge pose, not only does it create space in your back, but it also trains your spine. So whether you’re after health or sports with these classes you’ll know exactly how to practice safely and confidently the advanced bridge variations.
- Why the advice “stretch more and you’ll get there” could destroy your middle splits, but with some specifically selected exercises you can overcome this roadblock like many others. In this level we’re going to break down the middle split into step by step framework and take it to advance.

In short: Goes deep on technique and challenges the body with more advanced flexibility moves.

Classes: Full Body Stretch + Evaluation (2 parts), Front Splits & Over, Middle Splits, Back Flexibility Unlocked, Mobility Training Complete.

## Bonuses
1. **Flexibility Skills Success Path**: Learn how to master your flexibility skills step by step. Think of it as your personal toolkit, guiding you on how to approach each skill, what to stretch, and where to focus your efforts. Hanna explains the common flexibility limiters and the technique of each final skill, what to do when you are stuck at a given point, and gives drills that help you work out what your body needs.
2. **The 10-Minute Feel Good Flexibility Routine**: Short on time but need a quick boost? In just 10 minutes, you can go from feeling tired and tight to refreshed. A simple yet effective tool to keep in your back pocket for busy days. A short routine to wake the body up and stay consistent on days with little time.
3. **Mind & Body Connection**: Level up your flexibility practice by tapping into the power of relaxation and mindful breathing: techniques to release tension, ease into deeper stretches and sync your breath with your movements. Breathing and relaxation techniques Hanna learned in India, plus tips she picked up from circus and contortion training.
4. **Splits Breakthrough Workshop**: Ask ten people which flexibility skill tops their wish list, and nine will say the splits. A workshop packed with the most effective techniques to help you achieve your splits. A full splits training session. The splits are often the first big skill people master, so they get extra emphasis.
Plus lifetime access to the private Circus Stretching community.

## How it works
- Every level starts with an evaluation class. You take photos so you can see your progress.
- Hanna's Mind & Body method trains mobility, strength and awareness together. You build strength at the end of your range instead of forcing the stretch.
- Safety first: Hanna's rule is never to push past 6, at most 7, out of 10. A body that feels safe lets the stretch happen.
- Most classes take 20 to 35 minutes. The longest (Level 5) takes about 50. There is also a 10-minute class for busy days.
- Hanna recommends 2 to 3 sessions a week. This is not full-time contortion training.
- Start any time. Go through the levels as fast or as slow as you like. Any device.
