Reading Time: 3 minutes Head-to-Knee Pose (Janu Sirsasana) is an excellent stretch to relieve tight hamstrings, the muscles in the back of your thighs. If you tend to dislike doing a seated forward bend with both legs straight, this pose may come as a pleasant surprise. Taking your stretch one leg at a time allows you to go a lot deeper and feels so much better.
The Revolved Head to Knee Pose involves a forward bend with a twist to give you a great stretch. You will most often see it in the second half of a yoga session after your body has had time to limber up. It is a good addition to a seated yoga practice.
