Yes, Céline Dion Still Does the Splits

Instagram content

January may be coming to a close, but if your list of resolutions involved a commitment to restorative fitness—namely, stretching—you now have plenty of inspiration by way of Céline Dion. Today on Instagram, the diva showed off a serious bend toward flexibility, falling into a fluid full split that proved a bit of extra toe-touching is well worth the effort.

"Stretching into the weekend like…" quipped Dion in the caption, punctuating the move with arms thrown into a casual fourth position. The pop star, who began practicing ballet after husband Rene Angelil s death in 2016, has described dancing as “romantic, dramatic, sensual, it’s like a dream," but also notes its difficulty—a factor that she enjoys. "I don’t want to do something that’s easy,” she says. So, if the recession of 2020 s dawn—and its air of possibility—finds your health-oriented inspiration waning, make like Dion and realign your approach. Good and graceful things don t always come easy—and there s power to be found in the process.
