Finding the perfect balance in our hamstrings can present an interesting challenge. If our hamstrings are too tight, we are limited in what we can do and forward bends will seem almost impossible. If our hamstrings are too weak, we will lack proper support in our standing poses. We can transform tightness into strength and weakness into flexibility by finding the balance between these two extremes. The process of bringing the two into harmony is not unlike the challenge of tuning the strings on a guitar.

In this class, we will explore dynamic actions that can help us fine-tune and sustain the balance. We will explore options suitable for all levels.
