Description: This deep hamstring stretch for beginners is perfect for yogis looking to increase their flexibility! For optimal results, I suggest watching this video three times a week until you feel the back of the legs release. 📘MASTER THE BASICS FREE PDF brettlarkin.com/masterthebasics 💎7 DAY CHAKRA CHALLENGE brettlarkin.com/chakra ✨ONLINE YOGA TEACHER TRAINING brettlarkin.com/online-yoga-teacher-training We’ll begin in a wide legged stance, with the heels wider than the toes. When we fold forward, we’ll simply let the upper body dangle… the hamstrings will already say hello! From here we’ll move into a flow of bending the knees into a sumo squat and straightening the legs. We’ll then bring out hands to our shins and raise into a flat back, then we’ll fold even deeper. Connect to the breath here and really feel into the back of the legs. Make sure you engage the hamstrings to avoid over-stretching and injury! Next, gently, carefully come up to standing and rest a moment, allowing the breath to recalibrate. It’s totally normal to feel light headed or a little dizzy after such a long forward fold. We’ll then continue with some standing and folded poses, each activating the hamstring stretch in a different way, and end our practice on the floor; yogis choice! There’s the option to fold forward over outstretched legs, or have the legs in a V shape. Keep thinking of the feet actively flexing and the thighs pressing into the floor. Always make sure you are activating the muscles as your stretch! #hamstringstretches #yoga #yogaforhamstrings 20 Min Yoga For Tight Hamstrings and Hips: youtube.com/watch?v=xcjpoxfaJ0w Beginner Yoga Class: Hips and Hamstrings Stretch (40-min): youtu.be/zWaNqE9zCj4 From my ❤️ to yours, Namaste..
