Exhale Vinyasa Yoga: All About the Hammies!
Open up your hamstrings in this level 2 Vinyasa flow! Begin with a slow flow sequence that will gently open the backs of the legs, then move through the same sequence one breath per movement. Hold several high lunges to strengthen the legs, while continuing to open up the hamstrings in between lunges. You'll practice 4 Sun Salutation As, emphasizing the length in the backs of the knees in Downward Facing dog each time, and then flow through 2 rounds of Sun Salutation Bs. Throughout the practice you will practice holding poses such as Triangle Pose, Pyramid Pose, and Revolved Triangle to deepen the stretch in the hamstrings. Wind down with seated hip and hamstring openers and finish with a long Savasana. Have 2 blocks available.
