Day 1 - 14 Day Yoga Flexibility Challenge - Hamstring Stretches - YogaCandi

"The stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind" - Bruce Lee
Namaste friends welcome to the first day of our 14-day yoga flexibility challenge, today we will be focusing on hamstring stretches. We’ll be practising some of my all-time favourite yoga asana leg stretches in this quick vinyasa flow yoga video. Together we’ll get those tight hamstrings loosened up and feeling amazing!
The yoga poses we’ll be focusing on are:
- Half spilt pose (Stretches for splits)
- Downward facing dog (adho mukha svanasana)
- Pyramid pose (parvottanasana) another great pose to work towards the spilts.
- Forward fold (Uttanasana)
- Reclining hand to big toe pose
The more you practice this class the more flexible those legs and hamstrings are going to become, so give the video a thumbs up to save it to your liked yoga videos for easy access next time ;)
Sending love and light,
Candace

[@kirsifalin2962]

So excited to take this yoga challenge - in addition to my hips my hamstrings are another area I need to stretch and work on. So this was a very inspiring start. Thank you Candi!

[@YogaCandi]

So glad you've enjoyed the first class Kirsi, your body is going to love you for taking the time to care for it. Sending love x

[@kirsifalin2962]

@@YogaCandi Thank you Candi! ❤️

[@ieroine]

Candance I have a question, I can reach my toes but I can't bend forward like uttanasana, I haven't tried exercises right now but I always thought it has to do with my lower back because when I sit with my legs stretched in front of me my lower back curves a little bit and watching this video now makes me wonder if that's the case, what other of your videos can I use with this one to try to fix this problem?

[@debsouthie728]

Just starting today as I practice early morning - hamstrings are definately an area I need to work on but I really enjoyed this stretch and my journey to becoming bamboo :)

[@YogaCandi]

Hehe, I love that Deb! You are definitely on the right path to becoming bamboo ;) So glad you enjoyed it! And fab, practising first thing in the morning starts the day off on the right foot, no need to do the classes as they go live ;) Sending love your way x

[@debsouthie728]

@@YogaCandi I'm a little behind as was advised by chirpractor to rest after treatment. Always nice to have a little program to follow and love how it's addressing all the different muscle groups. Sending love back at ya x

[@YogaCandi]

@@debsouthie728 Hey Deb, that's absolutely alright lovely, the videos with be here waiting for you when you're ready. I'm just so glad you're being mindful and listening to the advice of your chiropractor, that's what yoga is all about, listening to our bodies needs and knowing when to take a break. xxx

[@debsouthie728]

@@YogaCandi Absolutely! I do get frustrated when I cant practice but know its for the greater good of my well being. Practising again now with a few modifications until I am 100%. I love how much Yoga has connected me to my body, mind and soul - it's so addictive! Have a great weekend Candice xx

[@YogaCandi]

@@debsouthie728 That's so good to hear Deb, being gentle with ourselves is so important for the healing process, enjoy this moment of softness, in no time I'm sure your body will be ready for more :) Have a wonderful weekend too Debs :) x
