Focus

Yoga for your hamstrings. Hamstring lengthening yoga poses can initially be more challenging when approached from a seated position. It is common to encounter more resistance in the muscles associated with the legs, hips and spine when sitting on the floor. This 30-minute class guides you in how to improve your hamstring mobility from standing positions. Learn how to stretch the muscles associated with the hamstring muscle group whilst maintaining a supported spine. Eventually these same principles can be applied to seated forward bends, thus making more advanced poses more accessible.
