the main thing it just to stretch. do splits and once you can go all the way down try sticking a pillow or mat under your back foot. when that gets easy add more pillows or get a thicker mat. stretch your back a lot by doing bridges and walking your hands as close to your feet as possible. for balance they make a thing where its flat on one side and half a ball on the other. get one and try to stand on one foot balanced in a heelstretch or scorpion. keep your head up and bring your leg to you to maintain balanced better. lock your leg out so your knee is straight for better balance. remember to stretch like crazy. good luck.
