Hamstrings & Adductors – Weekly Advanced Class 335

This class offers a deep dive into poses specifically designed to lengthen the hamstrings and adductors, targeting muscles that for many can be notoriously tight, uncomfortable, and resistant to change. Recognising that these areas can often be neglected due to their challenging nature, the class aims to address and prevent the plateau often encountered in long-term forward bend practice. It also addresses poor postural habits and aims to reduce the risk of back-related injuries. Through a carefully curated sequence of standing and seated forward bends, alongside reclining poses, students are guided to safely lengthen their hamstrings and adductors without placing undue strain on the spine. This approach ensures a focused, gradual improvement in flexibility in these stubborn areas. The session builds towards a series of more advanced variations of Paschimottanasana, challenging students to deepen their practice while maintaining a mindful awareness of their body’s limits and potentials. Regularly integrating this type of sequence into your home yoga practice promises not only progress in these challenging areas but also contributes to a more balanced and injury-free over-all yoga journey.
