A slower-paced basic vinyasa flow for runners with some stops along the way to talk modifications. If you’re looking to check in on some basic alignment and feeling like your hips and hamstrings are holding you back from your flow, this gentle practice with a little extra hip opening is a great place to start. Standing poses including Warrior II, Extended Side Angle and Triangle Pose open up the hips and prep you for some hip and hamstring opening at the end.
