Flexibility

I have never been the most flexible person. I have taken dance for 6 years, but quit 4 years ago. The furthest I have gone in terms of flexibility was to do a right leg split and a bridge. My mom has always been frustrated with me for being inflexible, as I still couldn't do much.
Recently, I have been trying to increase my flexibility again in hopes of one day finally being able to do the splits again. It has always been my dreams to do the Scorpion, aerials, and arabesque to name a few. I guess this is another thing to add onto my never ending bucket list :)
