Dearest Yogi Family & Friends
When I was 12yrs old, I played first team hockey..can you guess what position???
GOALIE (I was dedicated… even if it meant splits between posts to block any attempts at a goal)
But back then, I could’nt do open splits….but everyday, while the team warmed-up I would sit in the stretches (never called it yoga) it was flexibility training.
It amazed me how quickly I could do the things I once could’nt…..the girls in my hostel (I was in boarding school) witnessed my zero to hero flexibilty and before long
we were having group stretching sessions (it seemed everyone wanted to do the splits!!)
And you know what….those who practiced DID!!
The moral of my shared memory is that…
if you really want to melt tight hamstrings, YOU CAN!
here is what you need to do and why!!
The hamstring muscle group consists of the semitendinosus, semimembranosus and biceps femoris muscles.
Tight hamstrings can cause many problems from sciatica, back pain, sacroiliac joint pain to postural problems. The shortened muscles pull on the hips causing the pelvis to rotate flattening the lower back and creating pelvic distortion.
YOGA & HAMSTRINGS
Yoga has been hailed the cure for tight hamstrings
(and for anything else thats tight too)
but the truth is, if you are going to a power vinyasa flow class you will never improve your hamstring flexibility. Contraction leads to more contraction unless you dedicate time to stretching!!
To truly make the flexi changes desired, you need Pose-Focussed Yoga with long holds.
