HW: Hamstrings
Downward Dog, Downward Facing Doggie, Old Reliable or Adhio Mukha Shvanasana
From plank raise buttocks up into the air using core muscles.
Feet will remain hip width apart. Hands a little wider than shoulder width apart.
Let the stretching begin.
Heels eventually will touch the ground but we will take it as it comes. Perfectly acceptable to, one at a time, reach heels to the ground. When you think it is enough, count to three slowly as you can, then release and reach other heel to ground.
Remember to keep fingers spread wide. I like to try to put a little weight in each finger briefly to strengthen fingers and remind myself to not put all weight in heel of hand, straining wrists.
This is a good point to check that my balance is at navel, not at chest, as is my habit.
Let head hang freely.
Rotate biceps toward front of mat.
Breathe deeply as body becomes accustomed to the stretch.
Hold for at least one minute.
Release into child’s pose.
