Loosen the Legs

Yoga5 min

It is common to feel stiffness in the legs as soon as we wake up, or after playing sports or sitting for long hours at a stretch. This is due to tight hamstrings, the muscles that run along the back of the thighs. They are extremely important for the stabilisation of our body posture, movement of the lower extremities and trunk movements in relation to the thigh. Lower back pain, hips and knee problems too can be traced back to tight hamstrings. It is therefore necessary to improve flexibility and ensure adequate blood flow in our lower body. Try out these 3 simple asanas to loosen your hamstrings and get a healthier lower back, healthier knees, as well as a balanced posture!
