Welcome to Day 3 of my "Quarantine Quickie" Yoga Challenge. Hamstring day!
I scream. You scream. We all scream for looser hamstrings! Well, today your screamin' and dreamin' just might come true with day 3. Our hamstrings support daily movements like running, walking and jumping. When not stretched out, the tightness can directly contribute to common ailments such as low back pain and sciatica: simply because this muscle group connects to areas in the low back and glutes. So, let's loosen and lengthen those hamstrings out today shall we?
The "Quarantine Quickie" Yoga Challenge is a 7-day challenge that targets a single focus area each day. For just 10 minutes each day, we'll do a series of movements to benefit that area. The challenge is designed to get you out of your head and into your body swiftly (hence the word, "quickie") and then on with your day. But most importantly, the goal and hope of this challenge is for you to experience the true benefits of a yoga practice during a time in the world when we definitely need it most. We don't need to do a whole lot each day to benefit from yoga and take care of ourselves mentally, physically and spiritually. Some days, 10 minutes is all you have. And I'm here to show you, that is enough.
When you finish each day, please leave a comment under the video so that I know you have completed the day's challenge!
