Yoga for Hamstrings

Hi everyone,

Here some exercises to work with if you have tight hamstrings. Tight hamstrings take time, but they will relax and lengthen a bit sooner or later, if you keep at it. Do be nice to your hamstrings, if you force them too much you can start over, they will lock again.

some of the poses I demonstrate here are

reclining big toe pose / supta padangustasana

standing forward bend / uttanasana

and some reflexology to work with!

Good luck,

Esther

  • Esther, you are a treasure! I am an Irish dancer and I am really enjoying your videos on hamstrings and balance – they help so much! Have you ever done a yoga sequence specifically for dancers?

  • Thank you so much for all these great videos. I just started running again and these hamstring poses are awesome.
