About This Class

This class builds systematically from the ground up, opening in tabletop with Sunbird and targeted hamstring-curl drills before moving through Cat-Cow warm-ups, Downward Facing Dog, and a floor Locust series. The instructor emphasizes a consistent theme: activating the hamstrings and glutes to protect the low back during every stretch, rather than passively sinking into flexibility. The sequence progresses through low lunge, half splits, crescent with a twist, Warrior Two, Triangle, and Eagle Pose, with repeated cuing around pelvic floor lift, belly tone, and the action of "dragging the heel back" to create traction in the posterior chain. One-legged plank with knee-to-chest and hamstring curls bridge the floor and standing work. The class closes with brief Pigeon on each side, Baddha Konasana (Pada Kundalasana), and a wide-leg seated forward fold with bent knees to decompress the low back, followed by a short Savasana. Throughout, the instructor explicitly addresses the connection between tight hamstrings and low-back strain, making this an ideal choice for anyone dealing with hamstring tightness or discomfort from prolonged sitting.
