Forward Bends For Tight Hamstrings – Weekly Intermediate Class 73

Focus

Forward bends can be difficult poses for people working with tight hamstrings. To accomodate this stiffness, this group of poses will often need to be modified with props and supports. This can mean that students with stiffer bodies will need to approach forward bends differently to students with more flexible bodies. This class presents forward bends from the perspective of someone with tight hamstrings. It pre-empts some of the difficulties that might be encountered, and includes methods and techniques for making forward bends more accessible and beneficial. Key forward bends such as paschimottanasana, janu sirsasana, triang mukhaikapada paschimottanasana and upavista konasana are all included.

Key Poses

upavista konasana, paschimottanasana, janu sirsasana, triang mukhaikapada paschimottanasana

Equipment

Mat, chair, 3 blankets, 2 blocks, belt
