YOIf your hamstrings feel like tight ropes, this stretch is your rescue.
✨ Benefits:
• Deeply stretches the hamstring without overstressing it
• Releases tension in the posterior chain
• Improves leg mobility, especially useful for yogis, athletes, or desk workers
• Great warm-up or cool-down drill
✅ Let’s Go Step-by-Step :
• Lie down flat on your back.
• Loop a yoga strap, resistance band, or towel around the arch of your left foot.
• Keep your left leg lifted and static at 90°, knee extended but not locked.
• Your right leg rests flat on the floor.
• Grip the strap with both hands.
• Keep your shoulders relaxed and grounded.
• Flex both feet to activate calves and engage the legs.
• On an inhale, slowly lift your right leg up towards the ceiling — try to reach the same height as the right.
• On an exhale, lower the right leg back to the floor with control.
• Keep the left leg steady using the strap this is your anchor.
• Do 10–15 reps per leg, moving with your breath.
Pls Note
• Avoid jerky or fast movements.. the slower, the deeper the stretch.
• Don’t force your raised leg to go completely vertical; go where it feels tight but not painful.
• Keep lower back pressed into the mat.
Save this and do it daily!
