Yoga Low Back to Right Hamstring Pose

Video Transcript

"Low back to hamstring. Tight hamstrings will quite often create discomfort in lower back. More commonly known in men than in woman. So it's very important to stretch the hamstrings. Just find yourself a soft surface to lay right down. And it should be a comfortable stretch where you take that right knee right in towards you. Take your hands and interlace your fingers and set it on the outside so you're not pulling. Then you take your left leg and you extend that leg right down. And with the left leg you want to curl the toes in toward you so you feel the lower back on the left side being secured. And you take the right foot and point it away from you. And then tuck your elbows right in towards you. Now take a deep breath through your nose and on the exhale, you guide, not pull. But you guide that right knee right in towards you. It should be a comfortable hold. Another deep breath in, exhale bringing that right knee right in towards you. Keeping those left toes in towards you, keep the back secured and the right toes away from you. Breathe in deep again. And exhale and bring that knee just a little bit deeper in towards you. And once again, deep breath in. And exhale and then release. Bring the feet forward right down, release it."
