Hamstring Stretches Yoga asana/postures

Hamstring Stretches Yoga asana/postures:

Stretching improves the flexibility of your hamstrings, helping you prevent injury during your daily activities and workouts. A lot of times the reason for back pain, sciatica, slipped disc, or disc herniation might be because of tight hamstrings (because of tight hamstrings the hips can be blocked resulting in a rounded back in forward-bends). Take extra care in doing these stretches and choose to modify the postures when necessary.

If your hamstrings are very tight then the supine (lying down on your back) postures could be the safe ones to choose from in this library.
