Course Outline
Week 1
Get an introduction to the basic forward bending concepts of moving the sitting bones back and pressing the fronts of the thighs to the backs of them. These concepts help you actively lengthen the hamstrings. Get an explanation of how to modify poses and use props so that this practice can work for people of all ages and abilities. This 23-minute practice can be done 3-5 days in the week.
Week 2
Build on Week 1’s gains by continuing to challenge and lengthen tight hamstring muscles. Learn to roll the sitting bones on a ball or a foam roller to begin to release the myofascia around the hamstrings and their attachments to the sitting bones. Use props to understand how the calves also need to lengthen to have more ease in forward bends. This 28-minute practice can be done 3-5 days in the week.
Week 3
Continue to learn more about your amazing and unique body. Expand your practice to incorporate more seated forward bend poses. Become more skillful in the use of patience and firmness so as to avoid injuries like tears or inflammation. Remember, it’s not how far you go, it’s how you go far! This 32-minute practice can be done 3-5 days in the week.
Week 4
Revel in your new abilities and understanding of your body! Learn to maintain your well-deserved progress. This 36-minute practice can be done 3-5 days in the week. From here, you can now determine your next yoga goal and segue to a new or additional focus to add to your home practice.
