Open the Hamstrings - Iyengar Yoga for Beginners.
This is an Iyengar Yoga Sequence for Beginners. Many of us have stiff hamstrings and this can cause problems and stiffness in the lower back as well as general back pain. This poses will help to ease the tightness in the hamstrings and help you understand the action required in forward bends. @Yoga with Lin and Leo
