This yoga practice is designed to work on the flexibility of your hamstrings and hips, especially if you experience some tightness in the lower body. Besides having a lovely practice that will open this part of the body up, you will also learn how to adapt when a pose just doesn't feel right. We practice some supine hip and hamstring openers like Supta Padangusthasana, Thread the Needle pose, a beginner Sun Salutation with lunges to open the quadriceps, a few standing poses finishing with a seated Pigeon and Half Lord of the Fishes pose. A short but relaxing Savasana completes the practice. Props needed: 1 or 2 blankets, 2 blocks and a belt.
