Make sure you do a bridge stretch to stretch your back. You can do this by laying down on your back with your feet laying flat about 6 inches away from your butt. Your hands should be facing palms down on the floor by your ears. Push up into a position so that only your feet and hands are touching the ground. Hold for 15 seconds and then come down. Do this 3-5 more times.
Also, you want your leg to be higher in a scorpion so whatever leg you will be standing on while doing your scorpion should be the leg that you stretch the most. Keep stretching the standing leg so that you will be able to do the side split comfortably. For example, if your left foot will be on the ground while your right foot is in a scorpion you will want to have your left side split. Best of luck!
