Yoga For Low Back and Hamstrings | 30-Minute Yoga

25
66


Join me for this stretchy 30-minute low to the ground yoga practice for the back and hamstrings! This gentle class invites a full body awareness and focuses on a deep opening of the muscles around the hips, lower back, and legs.

Our hamstrings can get tight when we sit too much or when we overtrain the quadriceps. When this happens, the hamstrings begin to pull down on the sit bones, making the pelvis and hips tight and flattening the natural curvature in the low back.

Create stability while welcoming in a relaxing release as we work to invite equilibrium to both mind and body. Build your practice toward Sleeping Vishnu Pose! Breathe deep, move mindfully, and enjoy!

Let me know how it goes for you in the comment section down below!

  1. I'm commenting nearly 5 years later, but thank you so much, Adriene, for your videos. I suffer from intense low back pain and I go to yoga classes in my community to help manage the pain. This video, in particular, gives me a lot of relief. With gratitude from Nova Scotia.

  2. This is my first time commenting per the encouragement at the end of the video. Thanks so much, YWA, for the gentleness you bring to every video. I've been doing back and body rehab for the past year and a half after two back-to-back car accidents. It showed me my body wasn't as strong and resilient as I once thought. Now, I'm finding myself frustrated with my lack of motivation to get back into building my strength and mobility outside of rehab sessions. Today's YWA practice reminded me to be gentle with myself and build awareness and gratitude around the things my body CAN do! Now, I'm "dropping my guard" to look forward to healing my body through gentle, patient movements and finding what feels good!! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR GIFTS WITH US!

  3. Also coming back after a long time not practicing, it’s amazing how just playing the video without thinking too much gets you started and before you know it you’re really into the practice 😊

  4. Thank you Adriene for your body site specific videos. Now that l am training regularly in the pool, l am so much aware of my low back, hamstring, and abdominal muscles than before. These type of yoga routines have been so key to giving the muscles and joints l exercise the most in the pool so much needed love and will keep me swimming stronger and longer.

  5. At first I thought this yoga practice was doing nothing for me… then we opened into reclined tree pose and I was so shocked. I was never able to open my left hip like that without severe pain. Thank you so much for this practice!!
