Tight hamstrings can cause all kinds of problems, such as lower back pain, neck pain and muscle cramps, as well as limit the range of motion in your hips and knees. Releasing your hamstrings can improve the efficiency of your running or cycling, improve recovery from workouts, increase circulation to your feet and make your legs feel much better. This class is good for all kinds of reasons, for all kinds of people.

Question...I had a partial tear of the hamstring tendon where it attaches to the pelvis about 4 years ago. It was a yoga injury; I was pushing for more, more, MORE stretch during pigeon pose. (I learned my lesson there!) It still feels touchy and I treat the area very carefully. Would this class help me strengthen and loosen up safely and gently?

Hi there. Yes, this class is a good option if you are looking to gently loosen up your hamstrings. It doesn't do a lot for strength, though.

Nice targeted recovery session. Felt a change in my hamstrings even just half way through the class.

Comment:

only the second class I have given up on . Is there a class for thiose who really DO have tight hamstrings and lower back and cannot get into any of these poses effectively?

Thx
