Quad Stretch Yoga Sequence
When most people think of yoga, the first thing that comes to mind is a sequence of poses done on a mat. While this is certainly the most common form of the practice, yoga is not limited to the mat. There are many ways to practice yoga, and one of my favorite ways to do so is with a quad stretch yoga sequence.
This sequence is designed to stretch and open the quads, hips, and hamstrings. It is a great way to start your day or to use as a warm-up before a more vigorous practice.
The sequence is as follows:
1. Mountain pose
2. Downward-facing dog
3. Quad stretch
4. Hip opener
5. Hamstring stretch
6. Child’s pose
7. Corpse pose
Mountain pose is a basic standing pose that helps to ground and stabilize the body. From Mountain pose, we will move into Downward-facing dog. Downward-facing dog is a great pose for stretching the quads, hips, and hamstrings. It is also a great way to release tension in the neck and shoulders.
Next, we will move into the quad stretch. This pose is a great way to open the quads and hips. Be sure to keep the back straight and the hips squared to the front of the room.
Next, we will move into a hip opener. This pose is a great way to open the hips and stretch the hamstrings.
Finally, we will move into a hamstring stretch. This pose is a great way to stretch the hamstrings and glutes.
After the hamstring stretch, we will move into Child’s pose. Child’s pose is a great way to relax the body and mind. It is also a great way to stretch the hips and thighs.
Finally, we will move into Corpse pose. Corpse pose is a great way to release stress and tension in the body and mind. It is a great way to end a yoga practice.
