Tip of the Week for Tight Hamstrings

It doesn’t add up at first, but focusing on executing really good sit ups can really increase your hamstring flexibility. In postures like Standing Head to Knee and Standing Bow you might struggle with getting past your tight legs. By focusing on the pull and stretch at the end of each sit up, you will gradually open up your hamstrings and the standing postures will become easier. Take an extra moment to get a really good stretch at the end of each sit up. Bonus tip: work really hard in Pada Hasthasana (or Hands to Feet Pose, the first stretching pose in half-moon.)
