Hi =]
The key to a high arabesque is not only flexibility but muscle and back strength!. You need the following to get a high arabesque:
A) a strong back
B) a flexible back
C) Good splits

The ways you can get a stronger back is to do this exercise called "Superman"!. You lie on your stomach and lift your chest, head and legs off the ground and hold it there for as long as you can!. Repeat this a few times!.
If you are older, you can go to the gym and do deadlifts!.

For a flexible back you can do the bridge position and seal position!. You can also do a rocking chair, where you grab your ankles while laying on your stomach and rock!. This loosens your back!.
Remember after you do any of these to do a child's pose so that you won't sprain your back!.

Splits are pretty easy, just practice!!
GOOD LUCK!

I use the runners lunge,
put the leg that you want a higher arabesque with straight out to the back with your knee on the floor,
and your other foot should be flat on the floor, your knee will be bent
you'll feel a stretch in your hip flexor!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
