Yoga For Hamstrings | Yoga With Adriene

- I've been getting lots of questions about yoga for hamstrings so this video is all about hamstring flexibility and creating a full body experience. Find ease as we increase flexibility and stability in the backs of the legs and stretch the full body.
This sequence is also great for stretching and supporting the back and relieving tension in the neck. Build awareness of the sit bone to heel connection and how to integrate breath to find what feels good and enjoy your practice!

You helped this damaged, frayed combat veteran begin to heal. Thank you.
Thank you for your service. I hope you have continued your journey to recovery.
Thank you for your service to this beautiful country (Canadian 🍁 immigrant here). You're a true hero 🙏
It's been about 7 months. Yoga nearly every day. I just touched the ground with both heels in straight-legged downward dog for the first time :')
I've been doing yoga for YEARS and still can't do that! But I'm getting a little closer every day. Congratulations! I'm so excited for you.
I too finally can touch my heels down after 7.5 months!it’s so exciting
Such a wonderful feeling I am so happy for you :)
I've a beaten up body. 25 years of forestry. I haven't looked after myself. I started yoga a month ago and identified my hamstrings as my main problem. This video is a diamond. Ill be using it weekly for some time. Thank you so much.
25 years of... forestry?
@@ipercalisse579 yup
I love to see your 'older' videos and your present day videos, your journey has helped millions and millions of people. Each video carrying so much awareness, knowledge, care, wisdom, playfulness, and insight- you're truly a form of abundance in my life, Adriene! A great gift to everyone!
I’m not kidding when I say, that’s the exact same thing I said when I started the video! I’m happy to see that I’m not the only person that thinks that and appreciates her journey in making and following our own! Namaste friend🙏❤️💫
@@KyleBrooker67 You made my day.. I hope you know how awesome you are! ❤️❤️ Sending love and kindness

Happy Birthday!! 😃 Have a wonderful day ❤️
happy birthday from Melbourne,Australia!
Happy birthday from Sydney and best wishes for the coming year.
Joyeux anniversaire ! 🥐
Feliz cumpleaños!!! :)
Wow, with hamstrings being the slowest area on my body to respond to daily practice, how is it I have never done this sequence before? Simply lovely. The hamstrings feel less tight, and I even found a use for the long, red pizza box ribbons they use here. Not just for saving and bundling items up! Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. Found some emotional release as well. Makes sense as I have hurt these hamstrings in the past rushing about stressed.
I definitely have to work this one in at least once a week. I can sense the hamstrings will benefit greatly.
Process day 7. 276 days in a row.
Hi William, I used to do this sequence when recovering from my injury last year. It really worked! I'm glad we're doing it again today. I will visit this more regularly too 🙏
What even are pizza box ribbons?? I've never heard that before! :D Great to hear that you had a good time :))
@@johannafrog2684 The ribbon is put on the box in such a way that you can easily carry your pizza home.
@@astridlim5512 Someone at work even said I looked taller, lol.
Hi William. I've been enjoying spotting your comments on all the videos from the calendars of the last few months. 😊
I found that Yoga for Cyclists - day 24 of Expand (June 2021) - had a similar benefit for me, just excellent stretches for the lower body including the hamstrings! Couldn't believe I hadn't tried that one before. These calendars are great for exploring more of the YWA catalogue than I normally might!
This is what makes Adriene so good 😂🤟
00:12 - all connected, bab-é

The straight to miami part was the best
The best
Yes, she's is so popular and famous, there are plenty of stretching methods for beginners but there are also important rules to follow to see quick results and avoid picking up strains while going about it, I am an ex-dancer and I've been practicing the splits and teaching stretch for over 20 yrs you're welcome to try out my "learn to stretch" video tutorials once you're done here
Practicing Day 7 on July 7th, 2021. 🎈🎂🎁☺️
Namaste. 🙏🏻
A video without Benji and some time ago ;-) Namaste!!
🙋🏻♀️ World’s tightest hamstrings here! I am definitely saving this video! So many wonderful exercises 🙏🏼
Four years after doing this one originally and that dressing gown tie is still doing the job! 😂
Was about to comment the SAME!! Upcycle is MY JAM 😂
Hahaha ditto!!
Same!
"Different strokes for different folks," I was waiting for the hey-o! 🤣 My hamstrings feel tense nearly 100% of the time and are my main motivation motivation for getting on my mat daily. This practice felt INCREDIBLE! After the first 10 minutes my hamstrings felt the least tight I remember them feeling in a looong time. Thank you, Adriene!
Lex Luther!! Oh Adriene, you are so present. Your humor and humility are a joy to behold. Thank you for these live practices that allow you to shine through to all of us. Namaste
I just loved the Lex Luther comment so well too. So 80’s Superman movie 🍿 of you Adrienne!!!
Comment: When you say book, I look for a book with the same thickness as the block. Realization: The exercise was a bit harder to do with a 4 kg book about physics.
Great practice! Keep up the good work.
Erik Wilson haha I just did the same thing! I put 4 books together to make a block thickness and realized I only needed one book and even that was too heavy. Off to buy a yoga block tomorrow me thinks !!
Hahahahahhaha so funny
I had a box set with all seven of the Narnia books, which was probably a terrible idea.
Yup. Shakespeare's Collected Plays. At least it was paperback, but still
😂I'm dead!
Thanks for this! I often avoid hamstring stretches because they’re just so tight I get frustrated and don’t always even feel a stretch because my joints are so tight. This was manageable I will come back to it again and again
Girl, you classes give me peace. Thank you.
You can also have a string 🧞♀️🧞♀️🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️💁🏼♀️🙅🏿♀️🤱🏻🤰🏽
Fastest 23 minutes ever! My hamstrings feel AMAZING after this video. They were so tight when I started the video. Now they are stretched and strengthened. Thank you, Adriene!!
Yessss!!!! Hi Sarah!
After this video, I finally touched my toes for the first time in my life!
After how many sessions ?
really enjoy this as its different kind of flow. very nice and gentle process :) Namaste to all practising from SG
Back at you from Korea!
@@williamb7275 Wow, wonderful! Was going to visit S. Korea in winter of 2020 but covid. oh well. Fighting ;)
I really enjoyed this video. It gives a good stretch but does it safely and gently and provides a full body balance in the postures provided.
I’ve never enjoyed yoga….until my daughter introduced me to your videos. I feel good inside and physically during and after your sessions. What a lovely heart you have.
I’ve been practicing for over a decade now and this was one of the hardest videos of yours that I have done! I kept having to remind myself to breathe. Wow guess my hamstrings are tighter than I thought! Thanks, Adriene!
Yes, I did this super stretchy sequence for the legs again ! Very interesting 🤔 I’m not sure if this is good or bad for your sciatica Laura, so be cautious 🤞😯 I think tomorrow’s practice is a full body workout but 21 mins should be manageable for this senior yogi 😉 🧘🏼♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏💕
Everyone's here talking about their hamstrings but i have to talk about how much it helped relieve lower back pain, especially the runners stretch felt so good! I'm rejuvenated,thank you :')
I never thought I would find this so difficult. I tried twice and ended up not completing. And I have been doing YWA for past 8 months. A humbling reminder that life on the mat is continually a learning experience
I have been talking about doing Yoga for so long now, i just didn't feel too comfortable joining the Mums at the local school on a Monday night.
In preparation for running the London Marathon on April 23rd, you're videos have help to give me a sense of peace in my preparation and have helped me to stretch up before, after and in between my running.
Thank you so very much Adriene for these videos, they are just brilliant and so are you ! xx
Good Morning , Fellow Travelers of the Mat , And Thank you for your company today on the mat . I am looking forward to joining you all tomorrows on the mat . Enjoy your day 🧘🏿♂️🖖🏿
Bless your beautiful soul🥲 I have fibromyalgia and I can’t describe the pain.. all your videos are my literal salvation 🥹✨❤️
While I have diificulties with my body and accepting it as it is, watching and practicing your videos tought me SO much about loving and respecting it.. it's like therapy - it really DOES feel good, or better - every time a little bit - thank you so much, Adriene!
Now this is one of my favorite YWA practices, cause recently I've dicovered that my body just loves deep stretching, so thank you and the crew for this beautifully designed sequence!💟🌱
Day 90! My legs and hips have been tight for a long time. My physio guy told me I have to stretch my calf and hamstrings more. This video felt perfect. I plan to bring my "strap" (old scarf) to practice more often. I'm not where I thought I would be on day 90, but I am still stronger! Happy Easter!
Love doing yoga with you Adriene, and this sequence was much needed because my hamstrings are REALLY tight, so I am gonna work on it and in time I am sure they get more flexible!
Love that I laughed out loud with you ("I can't wait until I get Hamstrinks")! Laughter Yoga is the best!
I play sand volleyball 4x a week - yoga and volleyball are both huge passions of mine! But I found in my personal yoga practice that nothing was quite releasing my hamstrings - and they have been SO tight from volleyball as of late!! I finally found that release today and feel like I can walk again (haha) after doing this video! Thank you so much (,:
Love the block behind the hamstrings!!
I just started doing yoga recently after I bought a yoga kit online, I've been doing the 30 day challenge I'm on day 26. After my practice today I decide to play a bit after and work on my hammies. At the end of this video, I can finally do down ward facing dog with my heels on the floor. It's amazing watching my progress I was so tight when I started and now I can see my body unfolding. Thank you so much for sharing with us!!
Wow after reading your comment I tried doing downward dog and both heels on the floor, no problems! I'm so confused!!
@@zaynabseedat i feel!! Its like the two poses to do a splits trick like idk why its so easy but im not complainin
Adriene, I don't even know where to start. Words could never completely express my gratitude to you. Yoga has made my life so much better, and it is all because of you. You have given me the courage to find what feels good and you always make me smile. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you so much! Namaste.
Oh, thank you. I love this channel and this exchange. I am so grateful for it. So thank you my friend! Lets rock it out! Namaste.
I like the way Adriene walks us through the practice and reminds us to be gentle and kind to our bodies 🙏🧘♀️💕
This video is super helpful for me. I'm a complete newb and new to yoga, and my hamstrings have always been super tight - even since I was young I was never able to touch my toes.
I love how easy you make and how you throw in what new people might experience and ways to make it work for you. In the past I've been reluctant to do videos or join lessons because everyone else is better and I sometimes feel like there's a prerequisite level of flexibility needed.
Your videos make it easy for me to understand, follow, know what I'm feeling for, and understand why and how and what.
111111111/10 thank you
Young Adriene... you rock! As always, helpful and entertaining! I love your little moments of joyful oopsies... you bring laughter when you share your guidance. Feeling better. Thank you xxx❤
Just wanted to add that a dog leash is a good alternative for those without straps
196/365 of 2021✅ I started going for walks (6km) everyday to complement yoga with some cardio, so my legs enjoyed this practice very very much . Thanks Adriene. Thanks everyone 🙏
No part of my body, possibly anybody's body, has needed quite this much attention. Good glory, are my hammies tighter than a coupla taquitos! Thank you for helping me figure this one out!
Thanks to India for giving the wonderful yoga and Pranayama to the world. It has been an integral part of Indian hindu culture for thousands of years.
Thanks for this video adriene - I always tend to suffer with the shakiness you talk about when doing hamstring stretches so thanks for mentioning it, I thought it was just me!
You are not aloneeeee! :)
Thank you my friend give my buddy Benji a big hug my wish is to walk on the beach with him one day🙏
Walked 24 km definitely needed this today 🙌
Just what I needed after a long walk yesterday. 🚶🏾♀️
This video make me happy yoga and my body proporsional. Bye my Scoliosis.Thanks Andriene 🙏🥰
this is key to reduce lower back pain and sciatica (which I´ve been struggling with for 5 years now, even after a discectomy) (years 37-42)
Very nice, gentle ,and effective. This video is the epitome of adriene. Hilarious with her puns and quips throughout. Makes me smile! Thank you for a wonderful start to my day. Going strong everyday since Breathe (January 2021)!
Tight hamstrings have plagued me all my life. I plan to come back to this video over and over! Thank you Adriene!
Ahhhhh...since having meniscus surgery in August, in large part because of a kickbutt PT, I FINALLY got it into my head that stretching matters. But the same old stretches get old, yes? Let's see what Adriene has on tap for me, I say, and sure enough, yet again, you've tailored a video just for me. Thanks as always for offering up videos that are fun, safe, and anything but pretentious.
A long stretch with Adriene is the best! Into the library it goes. Thank you YwA!
Laughed my head off at the Lex Luther left foot quip. My hammies feeling so much better after this yoga practice. Thank you.
This video made me realize that a lot of the pain I suffer from comes from not supporting myself on my heels but in other. Parts of the foot instead. Its been eye opening in my process of healing my body. Thank you Adrienne
AMAZING!!! This was an incredible stretch for my hamstrings. The last one I couldn't find my block or a book so I just used a sturdy cardboard box and the shake I had while holding and resisting was insane. I did not expect that at all with just a stretch, but it felt great. I have right hip issues and this felt wonderful for that area too. I will definitely be coming back to this video for targeting that area. Thank you as always Adriene!
This felt amazing 😍 I've been working my legs pretty hard lately and this was just what they needed 🙏🏻
To close the eyes in tree pose: feels like making a concious effort to focus more on the feelings of the standing foot (and less on the drishti) makes the transition easier. Not easy, but easier.
I love when you remind ys to smile in the practices! Thank you!
love the video! You always make me laugh too which I love! Some yoga videos are so serious - which is great too sometimes - but I like having fun while I do yoga since I am so new to it, so I really appreciate your sense of humour! Thanks for all your hard work!!
Adriene, you are so fun! And I appreciate the block behind the hamstring technique-thanks.
I have the tightest hammies in the history of mankind, but this video has slowly but surely helped them to loosen. Now for the hip flexors...Why is it every time I go to do most poses, I get cramping in my hip flexors?! Adriene, would you consider making a video for those of us who have hip flexors that talk to us? Thank you for all that you do!! I really look forward to you coming into my home every morning for almost a year now! Love you!
Thank you!
That (the stretches, and gentle reminders to be gentle) was just what I needed.
Thank you for being here Adriene ❤️
My hammies feel different before and after the practice. Gotta make this one a post leg day routine!!
I shouldn't have worried about the discomfort in my hammies and quads after all the Zumba and walking. All I needed was a daily dose of Adrienne! Forever grateful!
I enjoyed , I ran intervals today. I did 6 , 5 minute runs at 5k pace wirh 2-2:30 rest.
I felt good and this helped me feel even better. thanks :)
I have had tight hamstrings for forever. That second down dog really felt different. I think I may have to return often and see what amazing changes my body has in store for me when I work carefully and kindly and target my weaker areas. Thank you.
I don't usually comment on these things. I wanted to share that your videos have provided me a way back to yoga after breast cancer, and during. You had classes that didn't require me to put weight on my upper body. And now that I am able to move slowly back into practice, I am finding your energy and peace astonishing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Love coming back to older videos to find they still help with key areas
i have the tightest poor hammies in the world which are really giving me grief. this is super helpful and a can feel little changes and me legs are getting super strong. thank you adriene for getting this dumpling to get off her bum and spending time for herself. since your 30 day program my anxiety has decreased nd my confidence and positivity has just been amazing. thanks 😊
This was just what I needed. I didn't realize it until I started doing it, thankful for the monthly calendar.
Love the way you demonstrate the poses, Adriene!
Needed the attention to the lower back and hamstrings tonight. Thanks
Training for my first half-marathon, and this was exactly what I needed. So used to lifting weights, running is KILLING my knees and hamstrings. Thank you Adriene!
I love how you predicted that our shoulder may start to go up. It made me realize my shoulder keeps going up! Loved this video !
I seriously neeed this hamstring stretch. I love how these practices make me more focused and present. Thank you. Namaste xo
Been doing one video of yours a day for a week now. My body feels so good and I'm able to sleep like a child every night. Thanks for that!
Francis Leibowitz Yes! The power of yoga! Strikes again! Love it. Thanks for sharing Francis! Enjoy your practice as it grows1
Yoga With Adriene Indeed! And it helps to have a cute girl to look at for motivation. :)
Do you have any tips on sessions that could be good for increased focus?
I have exams coming up and it would be nice to refresh my mind once in a while.
All the best!
Adriene, I love it when you’re goofy. It makes me laugh out loud which releases a lot of stress. I left several times in this sequence. Thanks! I love doing yoga with you.
Perfect, exactly what I needed! Thank you!
;Love this! I tried going to a yoga class, but it just wasn't the same without you Adriene!!
This sequence and guidance was so helpful. I will probably do it every week
I went on a lengthy all-day hike yesterday, and this video was exactly what my legs needed!
Perfect!
Love love LOVE!!!!! You enhance my life Adriene, thankful af 🙌🙌🙌🙏
Happy 6th year anniversary on this video Adriene!
Best hamstring video I have ever found
The way you yeet the block is amazing!
I discovered your videos a few months back and been practicing with them almost every day. I want to thank you and let you know it's fun to noticing how you yourself have changed through time
This video has helped me grow my ham-strengths significantly. Thanks Adriene!
Currently in France hiking, this has saved my life as I’m so stiff after hard walks in very warm temperatures. I love that I’m still discovering helpful videos in your archives ❤
My fav vid so far! Thank you for the most Peaceful yoga sessions
Hi Adriene, You make me laugh even when I'm in pain. I'm so glad I found you.
I am doing my Yoga Teacher Training at the moment and this video is gold.
Thank you Adriene, another brilliant 20 minutes !
I'm recovering from a knee injury and this low-to the ground, stretching, strengthening, as always mindful practice was just right!
So lovely, thank you! The detailed instructions in your classes are so helpful. Namaste!
Thank you so much Adriene. I really love your videos and have been doing them more and more each week.
Love you videos Adrienne! 4 days into my yoga journey and looking forward to being able to touch my toes!!!
Very happy to find this video-- just what I needed after lots of travel (sitting). Thank you! Your videos are so awesome Adriene!
