Yoga offers us opportunities to stretch our entire bodies, including our often-overworked legs. Try incorporating these calf and quad stretches into your next asana session or after a workout to target these two key areas. Invite your breath into every move as you focus on the release.
Some of the stretches below may be familiar to you. Most people, if they learn to stretch at all, get to know some of the tried-and-true calf and upper-leg stretches. Familiar or not, the stretches are all very doable and will help counter the effects of anything you’ve been doing from over-sitting to ambitious cycling to shorten your body’s biggest muscles.
