Day 4: Standing Poses With Jason Crandell
Posted on January 26th, 2012 No commentsThis series is all about lifting and lengthening. These standing poses express the full reach of our bodies, from toes to finger tips. That brings a nice stretch, but it also helps strengthen the lower body, which must serve as a steady base for the lifted torso and limbs.

Improving the Hips and Hamstrings
Posted on September 1st, 2011 No comments
The Hamstring
The hamstrings (posterior thigh muscles) are made up of 3 long muscles that start at the bottom of your pelvis extending down the back of your thigh and along either side of your knee, to your shin bones.
The lateral hamstring is the biceps femoris (made up of 2 parts – a short head and long head) and the medial hamstrings are the semitendinosus (joins the sartorius muscle and gracilis muscle at the pes anserinus on the tibia) and the semimembranosus (the largest hamstring muscle).
The tendons (tough fibers that connect muscle to bone) for these muscles begin at your ischial tuberosity (the bony bump under each buttock, known as your “sit bone”) and attach on the outer edges of your shinbone (your tibia and fibula) just below the back of your knee. They help to stabilize your knee.Moving through stretches at the wall, you’ll foster recovery, increase your range of motion, and get a chance to relax into simply being.
