Hamstrings, hips, and handstands

[Whybrow]

 

 

Dear yogis!

I get lots of questions about hamstring and hip opening.  Alongside this I get frequent questions about shoulder mobility and strengthening.  So I have devised a series of posts and videos addressing just this!

First, help your shoulders move better while doing a more effective hip opening as shown in this post:

I show you how to use active movements in the legs to help open the hips.

Then, try three different variations of these hip, hamstring and spine movers, where I discuss how to help muscles relax rather than stretch.  http://yogacafelk.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/better-hamstrings-hips-and-spine-with.html

Finally, if you want a mega handstand helper then try this: http://yogacafelk.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/preparation-for-arm-balances-including.html

Have fun and happy and safe practicing!

Much metta,

Samantha
