Open Your Hamstrings

Twenty minutes of Hatha for the back of your legs. Bring all your awareness to your hamstrings, and stretch them in different ways to work slowly towards the splits.

The class also opens the hips and the psoas. Level 1, so new to yoga is fine. Have two blocks nearby.

Open with Twists

We focus on twisting the body and letting go of what we don't need. A good online yoga practice to do after backbends.

Open Your Back

Nothing as revitalizing as backbends. We use two blocks in this practice to help open the chest through the whole class. Together we find variations that feel comfortable when the stretch gets too intense.

We start lying on our back to find the breath and some stillness, eyes closed, as we go deeper into our backbends. Then we move into Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose), and on to Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel) if you want to challenge yourself.
