Half Split Hamstring Stretch with Ankle Flossing

Shift hips back from the low lunge onto the rear knee while extending the front leg onto the heel with a soft knee bend. Use yoga blocks for hand support if needed, draw the torso close to the thigh, and alternate flexing the toes toward the shin and pointing them forward to dynamically mobilize the hamstring and calf on both legs.

Key points

  • Keep a slight micro-bend in the front knee to target the muscle belly rather than straining the joint
  • Bring the torso toward the thigh with a flat back rather than hunching down
  • Actively flex the front toes toward the shin on inhalation and point them down on exhalation for nerve and muscle flossing

Common mistakes

Hyperextending and locking out the front knee or aggressively rounding the spine to reach the floor.
