Hamstring Stretch

Lie on your back in a doorway and position your hips slightly in front of the door frame. Raise one leg and rest it against the door frame while keeping that knee extended and your bottom leg on the floor. Increase the stretch by sliding your hips closer to the door frame or lifting the leg away from the door frame.
Lying on your back, wrap a folded towel around the instep of one foot, inhale and extend the leg upward. Exhale and pull the raised leg toward your face, keeping the leg straight.


Sitting on the floor with your legs extended and spread apart, flex one knee until its heel touches the groin of the other leg. Exhale keeping your forward leg straight, extend your upper back and bend forward at the hips.
