In the dog down position, the heel can’t fall to the ground; in the forward bending position, the hands can’t reach the ground; in the Yoga sitting position, the back can’t be bent and arched; in the head upside down preparatory position, the back can’t stand straight
.
All these are related to the flexibility of the back of the thigh
.
Today, I’d like to check out some basic yoga postures that stretch the back of the thigh and increase the flexibility of the back of the leg
.
1
.
Stand in the front of the mat in the mountain bending posture before standing, with your feet as wide as your pelvis
.
Knee, toes to the front, inhale, hands up over the top of the head exhale, arm drive the body to hip as a folding point forward and down to their own range, maintain 3 to 5 groups of breathing
.
Beginners suggest that your feet should be as wide as the pelvis, so that the pressure on the knee and hip joint will be less
.
In addition, if the back side of your leg is very tight, you can do this action by bending the knee slightly first
.
Don’t worry, bending the knee slightly can also stretch to the back side of your thigh
.

.
Double angled feet half shoulder width apart, knees and toes forward
.
The sole of the foot is slightly buttoned in 2 to 3 degrees
.
Adjust the pelvis and spine, inhale, clasp the back ten fingers of both hands, exhale, bend forward to your own range, extend your hands to the top of your head, keep breathing for several groups, and then return to mountain pose
.
Add two points: after the knees and toes are set, the feet should be slightly buttoned in, and the knees should not be buttoned in during the whole process; the arms can also be omitted in the exercises with the theme of flexibility at the back of the legs
.

Inhale, raise both hands above the top of the head, exhale with palms, drive the body with arms, fold forward, put both hands on both sides of the right foot, keep breathing for 3 to 5 groups, and then return to the right side

.
Supine up leg raising and supine up leg pressing are two of my favorite ways to improve the flexibility of the back thigh
.
Lie on your back on the mat with your head, feet and hips in a straight line
.
That is to say, when you lie on your back, you should adjust your body according to the main points of mountain pose, lift your right leg up, hook your toes back, and grasp your right toe with your right hand, or as shown in the picture, inhale, extend, exhale and pull your right foot close to your body with the help of stretching belt
.
Hold it for about 30 seconds and Practice on the opposite side
.
After watching so many movements, I don’t know if you have found that all the movements of toe back hook and hip forward bend can be stretched to the back of the leg
.
As long as you know this, you can even think of various movements by yourself, stretching anytime and anywhere
.
For example, after sitting for a long time, you can take a short time to relax your legs and stretch the back of the leg Share health and beauty!.
