This is one of my absolute favorite stretches. I could hang out in it for a really long time. If you are in my workout class, intermediate class or advanced class you have probably done this one with me. This stretch concentrates on the hamstring, but will also stretch your low back (which is the part I like).
Sit with your legs out making a V. Bring one foot in to your groin so you have one leg strait and one leg bent. First rotate your upper body and stretch over the extended leg with the same side arm. You can grab your knee, calf, ankle or foot, bring the opposite hand to the knee and hold. When you feel like you are ready to move on, sit back up and then lean forward with a straight back, hinging at the hips between the strait leg and the bent leg. Place each hand on the same side leg. Come up and rotate over the bent knee and stretch forward keeping your sit bones one the floor. Repeat the whole series on the other side.
