You should always make sure you stretch and warm up before attempting something advanced like this. Some stretches include:
-Head to your legs
-butterfly
-middle split
-right split

Hand and foot stretch

Stand With Your Feet Parallel

Lift One Leg Up

Your most flexible leg should be the leg you stand on (left or right) , so lift up your other leg and grab ahold of the back of the knee with your hand.

Lift It Up As High As You Can

Still holding your knee, lift your leg up as high as you can bring it to your head.
