Can you do split even once in your life? I cannot. But this is one statue in Bangkok with a yoga pose. It has been said that this statues were done to teach everyone how to perform seld stretching and self healing.

I did, I remember that I did many times when I was younger and also a few times after I got married. I would not try now.

@rakski Only my oldest daughter in our family could do one. She was very flexible and a gymnast.

I've never been able to. My son was able to at one point, I think. Not sure if he still can.

Nope I've never been able to do a split. The only way I would do one now is by accident if I lost my balance and fell

I hope we don't get to slip, fell and lost balance to do the split

I have accomplished many yoga postures. When I began it, it seemed very difficult, but gradually my muscles turned more flexible and now I do them regularly everyday.

@rakski Yoga makes our muscles flexible. If I'm fit, the credit goes to yoga.

I could do that until I was about 12. I used to do them all the time as a baby and when I started towards my teen years I calmed down a little and was reading books a lot. You don’t use it you lose it so I lost that flexibility.

@rakski I'm fine... thanks... Been busy for quite some time, I had moved to my other room downstairs here at home because they are going to repair our roof... I hope it will not rain these coming days... We should have done it earlier during summer.

that could be dangerous if you are not flexible and you do not practice those moves, right?
