Yoga For Low Back and Hamstrings | 30-Minute Yoga

Join me for this stretchy 30-minute low to the ground yoga practice for the back and hamstrings! This gentle class invites a full body awareness and focuses on a deep opening of the muscles around the hips, lower back, and legs.
Our hamstrings can get tight when we sit too much or when we overtrain the quadriceps. When this happens, the hamstrings begin to pull down on the sit bones, making the pelvis and hips tight and flattening the natural curvature in the low back.
Create stability while welcoming in a relaxing release as we work to invite equilibrium to both mind and body. Build your practice toward Sleeping Vishnu Pose! Breathe deep, move mindfully, and enjoy!
Let me know how it goes for you in the comment section down below!

Every YWA video has so many comments I can’t imagine who might actually happen to read this one; I’ve never commented before but this practice spurred me to write. I’ve done yoga for many years on and off, and been a near-daily YWA practitioner since COVID began in 2020, surfing through her remarkably prolific offerings with no apparent plan, but writing down the name of every video I tried. My lists tell me that I first tried this one in mid-2020, and I remember I just couldn’t get my bod to stop cramping in the last poses. This morning I revisited it like it was a new gift, and fully immersed in every opportunity she provides here for total body awareness. My mind allowed my leg to move from the hip in a way I didn’t think I could - that’s what you get for thinking! What I’m wagging on and on here for is, basically, if you’re just starting, keep going. And if you find a hitch along the way, definitely keep going so later you can say Wow! I get it! Grateful for the myriad and unfolding gifts of Yoga With Adriene.

[@fabiolajuareztoquero2546]

I'm a server and stand up to 8 hours daily. Even though I'm young and strong, standing for many hours puts my legs in deep pain. Today I wanted to release some tension; this practice was like a warm hug for my soul. Also with Adriene's sense of humor, I smiled many times during the practice. Thanks for shining your light with us Adriene. I love you!

These stretches are all quite difficult for me, especially the poses on the sides. I was greeted by a comment from myself a year ago in which I expressed great frustration and a lack of enjoyment of this practice. It's good to know that I have improved in my ability to activate my core muscles and to support my back, but I am also grateful for the opportunity to be more open and move with more ease of mind. Feeling wobbly, rolling around when I was not intending to roll around, led to laughter and smiles rather than tears and frustration. I am grateful to be here! I am grateful for love. Look with love rather than fear ♥

[@leanngleason588]

Amen! I rolled off my side on the left and reacted with pure love and laughter, not judgement. I don't even know when that shift occurred

I legit can't put my feelings into words anymore. Each video turns out to be exactly what my mind and body are screaming for time after time, over and over and over again. I've been diagnosed with chronic tightness of all parts of the body as a result of my cerebral palsy but my back and hamstrings are usually the tightest areas I try to stretch out every morning. There's something larger than life in this sense of awareness in this community and that's what makes me love it so much. We all pretty much feel and understand each other without saying a word through our practice together. I am forever grateful to have found this community and to have experienced this sense of awareness with everyone practicing. Thank you, Adriene for the love that never withers. Keep going, everyone. You got this. Much love. Namaste.

I DID the low back and hamstrings today for the first time in 2 years. My attempts then were a dismal failure, too much pain in my hips to pull it off. Today it DID IT; the hip pain was gone, my leg waving is half of what it can be, but I’m thrilled with the progress. The take away is just keep at it, the stronger you get the easier it becomes. Thanks Adriene for being there, you can change our lives!! Love you. Brenda

Near the end of this practice I found myself starting to tear up. As Adriene said “life is good” I felt the corners of my mouth turn up and suddenly I felt a genuine smile. I’ve done basic yoga for many years to help condition my body for other sports and keep me feeling loose, but the more complicated yoga shapes were never something I thought I could do. Those laid down stretches were quite difficult, and I felt this small pit of fear that I wouldn’t be able to do it, or I would hurt myself, or we would go too quickly and I wouldn’t understand. But Adriene lead the positions so gently and slowly and kindly that I was able to keep up. I was able to connect in to myself in a way that I’ve never experience in yoga. Sitting there in our end position I felt my shoulder pull down and open more than I’ve ever felt and I genuinely felt so proud of myself. I did that!! I did those hard yoga poses, definitely modified, but I felt them! I benefited from that work, and I felt connected. I just wanted to say thank you so much Adriene, for you kindness and patience in teaching. By namaste I had tears running down my cheek and felt this great sense of relief and pride. Thank you thank you thank you!!

I hurt myself a little maneuvering a patient and I have relied heavily upon your guidance through this time. I did this video along with a couple of others and I feel like a NEW woman! Thank you so much for what you do for the world. You are saving my life right now.

[@yogawithadriene]

Thank YOU!!!

[@elbiathornton1906]

Stay safe💞💞

[@vickitrahan9588]

I'm loving this! I have always kept in shape, but when the gym closed with Covid I got out of practice. Since I sit behind a desk to work, I have gotten so stiff! This is helping!

[@kenziek3226]

You've changed my life Adriene, I mean it! Thank you for all you do :)

[@HK-yb6by]

Likewise, 😀

[@charlottahenricson]

Hi everybody! I just wanted to say that I'm very glad to be back! Being a singer and a song teacher, coming through this Corona winter of lockdowns and financial crisis is hard and by and by I lost the motivation to do just about anything and started to let myself slip. But now I've started eating well and taking care of myself again and coming back to Yoga with Adriene today gave me such a lovely feeling that I haven't had for a while now. Thank you!

[@Jenny_Little_Wren]

Well done for taking those steps towards self care - you're doing great and it's brilliant to share this experience with you! 😊

[@wpwentzell]

I cried tears of love after this video. As a middle-aged male working through some hard times in life right now, this video helped connect me with myself, and the practice was restorative and easy to follow. As I heal, I am indebted to you for your sharing this with me. Thank you, Adrienne.

[@user-zd7vt6xf3b]

This sequence has saved my lower back! 🙏 one week of this daily and now pop back whenever I feel the twinge. Love your work Adriene

[@tracydarrow8369]

Such a restorative way to slow down, listen to your body and take care of the self. All in the loving community you've built. Thank you Adriene!!

[@Mmmpc27]

Did this on day 118 of COVID quarantine, started crying when you talked about all the "buddies" we have through doing this practice! Thank you for the feeling of connection and love!

[@Hottie4u1987]

me too!

[@bodhisattvah9955]

Ditto 😓

[@redaze150]

I’ve just recently discovered Adriene and it’s been a game changer!! Keeps me grounded and recharged. Thanks so much for this!

[@lilyyoung841]

Same here 💛

[@nevenamartinez]

ARE YOU READING MY MIND? I've been having a lot of trouble with my lower back this last week, I check my subscription box today, and here you are with a low back video.😂 Thank you so much ❤️

[@Annie-le1vv]

Nevena Martinovic ....the universal connection, you put your needs and positive energy and thoughts out there and good comes back; as is needed 🙏

[@michstratford]

Of course Adriene read your mind. And mine. It happens so often I just don't ask the question anymore. I just subconciously send my thoughts to Texas (or wherever she may be) and here we are! 🙄. Thank you Adriene - and the love letter yesterday was immensely lovely too ❤

[@lexicol2011]

Adriene seems to be very passionate about yoga and loves to do it. It's refreshing to have such a good teacher who is so inspiring!

[@janetlambert2653]

Thank you Adriene, Loved this practice and being in the moment. My hamstrings need some loving after exercising and being on my feet all day. I'll be fitting in this practice again sometime during the week. Looking forward to doing Yoga for weightloss ab work out tomorrow morning. xxx

[@DarlingHealer33303]

the ending was adorable. i'm watching this during the covid19 shelter in place, so i really needed to hear that point about connecting with people who are also watching this video. Thank you, Adriene

[@maggieroberts2417]

Fantastic session Isolated and alone feeling overwhelmed but after this session I feel more in touch with you all Thank you

[@melaniegilster9880]

Hello whoever is reading this. I hope Adriene sees it. My low back and sciatic gives me a lot of trouble. my hip and leg muscles are super tight, but through this workout it makes me feel like I won't always be this way. Maybe one day my legs will go straight like Adriene's do. Thank you Adriene for putting all your yoga on KZbin for free!!! It is changing my life!

[@coritraylor8380]

Thank you! I am finding my way back to the practice and was always accustomed to 60 -75 min of yoga at a time. I am finding these 20 -45 min videos are just what I need right now. The other day I did one for back of yours and felt so good the next day. I just need to keep in mind how good something feels and give myself permission to make yoga a part of my every day.

[@lobkekoning1528]

Hello from the Netherlands! I'm now almost 20 weeks pregnant and i feel so comfortable and fit because of yoga with Adriene. Thank you!

[@reneevansomerengreve2472]

Gefeliciteerd! Ademhalen is key straks ;-) veel geluk!

[@unciondelsanto08]

I was struggling with my lower back today. Wow! What a difference i felt after this session!!! I've actually tried different yoga videos and none compare to yours! They are easy to follow and i am so thankful for the modifications you provide! Just a side note I am 270 lbs and yoga is now my choice of exercises! Thanks!!!!!

[@kristindodge8068]

We just finished 12 days of skiing and at ages 59 and 70 my husband and I really appreciated this yoga session. Thank you, Adriene and Benji. We had been practicing regularly with you but life got a bit hectic and somehow we dropped our daily practice. We are committing to an evening practice starting 9 pm tonight. Thanks again, Adriene!

[@robynmclean4090]

I haven't done yoga for at least a year, and this was such a beautiful practice to come back to. My hamstrings are stupidly tight, and my hips give me a lot of grief. This practice felt like a dream, and I was actually surprised at what I was able to do. Love Adriene's balance of challenge and being with where you're at. What a gift you are!! Thank you.

[@YogaWithBird]

Love lower back practices ❤️🙌🏼

[@anissiadeclerck8006]

It's so weird how everytime I do yoga with Adriene it's exactly what my body needs. I swear she is in the room with me because she also calls me out everytime I forget to breath. How is this possible!? Lol.

[@lindagray1809]

Yes! And she knows just when my forehead is tight, or my ears are high. Perfect!

[@visualaddictionx]

Same here 🤩

[@deehaller296]

Cause she's feelin it too! ;)

[@raiodeluzsambastudio5523]

I am newer to the Yoga With Adriene community and I am absolutely hooked. As a dancer and first and foremost a human being, these stretches help me to tackle my passion and everyday life

[@tonyrodriguez2524]

Back again! A nice gentle stretch on the hammies and pelvic. No spasms in the lower back which I guess means I'm doing something right. Yah!!! Overall, a great session!

[@leajacobsen3574]

*EXPLORE · day 6:* It's getting colder and colder up here in Scandinavia, so I did this session while wearing socks and a fuzzy fleece sweater to keep me warm. It was nice to stay low to the ground on a lazy Sunday. I especially enjoyed the Sleeping Vishnu pose at the end!

[@valsan428]

This is literally me right now in Berlin!

Just like ‘Janice Lennard’ on you tube! AMAZING!

[@MM-qn3go]

Yes! That's inspiring!

[@Earthbrooke]

Just what I needed today for sore hips and lower back. Thankyou 🙂

[@leegarriott3912]

I have been suffering low back pain for the past year. Was in physical therapy for four months. Still couldn't get quite back to normal, but after doing all your low back yoga several days a week, I feel like I am coming closer to home base. Thank you Adriene.

[@annaradcliffe]

I tried lowering my upper body with my leg in the air and fell to the back, got back up and immediately fell to the front. Thanks for the laugh, Adriene, as well as the stretch!

[@janetwest1244]

We’ve all been there Anna. Don’t give up!👍

[@kristyriley5915]

Oh man, did I need this! I woke up with lower back and hip pain, trusted that I'd find what I was needing in Adriene and this did the trick!! THANK YOU

[@fc4660]

Me too,been sitting For months on my dining chair working from home, I needed this one

[@judithvandermolen583]

Perfect timing. I'm sick but i wanted to do my daily yoga anyway. So this was nice. Thank you, you're the best. Lots of love.

[@judymccallum2545]

Hope you feel better soon. 🌞

[@zuriwilson-seymore8939]

Blessed Judith! Nice to meet you. Get well! That's great the practice helped you. I'm exhausted it helped me as well. Namaste & Ase! 🦋❤🦋

[@brooklynludowyk9247]

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and have been feeling sick and sore for most of my pregnancy. This was great to practise and helped bring lightness to my body. It was also the first time in 5 months I've taken some me-time and felt really connected to how my body feels. Thank you Adriene x

[@meiyueliu1400]

I did yoga for gratitude before this video, which helped me to tune in and made me realize how grateful I am for this community and to be exposed to some new poses. This yoga session left me feeling good. The coming week will be a bit hectic, so I am planning to dedicate more time for yoga and thus take care of myself. It brings out the best in me, and sometimes gently nudges me to look at the scary things as well. Yoga has transformed me and my way of living. Along with Buddhist teaching, I feel prepared to help and support others, and to spread my love. ❤️ thank you so much for being an amazing mentor! Have a good day!

[@gillsmith6740]

This practice is perfect for this arthritis sufferer here in lockdown, persevering with a medication change which is not really working. So I thank you Adriene for this yummy low to the ground stretchy sequence. It has helped me a lot this morning, feeling more comfy☺️ I shall save this to repeat 🙏 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️💕

[@laurareed2612]

😔 I am sorry the medication isn’t working. I am so impressed with how you still manage to find the motivation to do the practice every day AND find the good in it! It is inspiring. I’ve been not feeling well mentally which I know is when I should be practicing the most! Luckily the depression has lifted a bit and I’m back ♥️ I am hoping for healing for both of us.

[@gillsmith6740]

Hi Laura, I’ve been so lucky with the start of Bridge, the practices have been ok especially this one so I’m feeling positive and optimistic. So sad you’ve been suffering, but glad you’re back. We can send each other good vibes and lots of love 🙏💕💕💕

[@kamilagadys6274]

Dear Adriene, thank you so much for this video! This practice had save my lower back! After months of seeing osteopaths and trying all sorts of different things (and not feeling any better) I had found this video and decided to try. That was the best thing I have ever done! Thank you so much xxx Many blessings and peace xxx

[@andrewz2854]

None of your videos have helped me as much as this one. They are all great yoga instructions, but this video is truly phenomenal. The flow is so perfect, your explanations are simple and understandable as possible, the pace is just right, the movements are wonderful in both the relief they provide and the yogic purpose, the focus on breath and presence within the body. This one is truly special to me. I actually realized 1, that as a student it is my duty to look at what you’re trying to teach in order to most utilize our time, and 2, that yoga is not just about relieving back pain or calming down but about treating the body as an aesthetic unit of physical mobility. By that I mean directing one’s attention and effort into positioning the body in beautiful ways, beautiful in the sense that they incite pleasure, relief and oneness, just like any other art form.

[@marianasanchezarenas1245]

I woke up today and I felt a little off. I climbed on my mat and told myself "Adriene is always saying to pay attention" so I did. I asked myself "what do you need today?" and I found myself here. It was an amazing moment & I feel really really good right now. Thank you! I plan to pay more attention to myself

[@gillsmith6740]

I really love this super therapeutic practice. It was lots of fun, quite different and so slow and gentle and low to the ground. I’m sure my slight twinge in my left lower back achieved from tough digging in my garden has completely gone ! I’ve had that annoyance for a while, how brilliant is that ? How we love your kind and happy approach to our yoga Adriene ? No wonder we all get off the mat feeling good and that’s me every morning 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💕

[@jloftus6653]

In such a materialistic world many lose what actually is important. Yoga is priceless! and we’re lucky enough for it not to be managed by large corporate companies. Adrienne and yoga teachers alike, thankyou very much for these videos. There is no amount of money which can buy true happiness. 👍

[@vasileadeladenisa5608]

After a long time , I put my self first! All my pain now is vanish! Thank you for this amazing energy ! Thank you for sharing all this amazing time ! ❤️

[@SGpotatokat]

Oh my gosh, my heart melted when she said she's our buddy. Adriene, I hope you feel the love, because you are always so caring and kind with all of us in the FWFG community. We love you!

[@igmutankanagi5111]

My first exercise while i’m recovering from dental surgery. The calmness and focus away from my head was so welcome. Namaste!

[@julietterule]

I've had a hip popping ish for years. YEARS. Every once in a while I find a workout or a yoga flow that drastically reduces the popping. This is one of those flows. Holy smokes! I'm cured-ish! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Adriene!

[@anyaforestell]

No matter how many times she reminds us, I love when she talks about practicing with so many people around the world! Hello, 378 other people who did this practice along with me :) REFRESH 2022
