1h 8m
When opening the backs of the legs, the tightness on the fronts of the legs must also be addressed. This practice moves towards eka pada supta virasana (one legged reclined hero's pose) by progressively opening the primary hip flexor of the body- the psoas. It includes hamstring stretch repetitions, time to practice the inversion pincha mayurasana (forearmstand), and culminates in seated forward fold work in upavista konasana (seated straddle). Props may be helpful, including blocks, a strap and a blanket or bolster.
