Happy Hamstrings: Yogic Tools to Open and Release the Backs of Your Thighs
Are you struggling to touch your toes in your forward bends? Do you suffer from tightness in your low back? Your tight hamstrings may be the issue. Due to misuse and overuse (from sitting in chairs) many of us suffer from overly tight hamstrings.
In the pursuit of opening the hamstrings, we can sometimes go too far, moving towards injury and away from health. The workshop will focus on how to open the hamstrings safely, as well as address common injuries and issues associated with overstretching. Participants will be led through:
- an experiential exploration of the hamstrings
- a brief anatomical discussion
- a practice to strengthen and lengthen the hamstrings
- a simple and easy technique to open and relax the hamstrings that you can use anywhere/anytime
- awarenesses of how to protect previously injured hamstrings in yoga poses
- an integrative relaxation
You will leave feeling refreshed with new tools to support your health and well being.
