The Forward Pivots in this session help to stretch your Hamstrings. To most effectively practice these Pivots, be sure to hinge from the Hip Joint, not bend along the spine. It helps to pull your knee caps toward your thighs and tighten the front of your thighs (quads) to lengthen more effectively along the back of your legs as you keep them as straight as you can. Remember to push your "Sitting Bones" (the lower points of the pelvis) slightly back and then pivot them up toward the ceiling when standing -- or if you are seated lead with your chest toward your knees with your spine straight. Relax the muscles at the back of your legs to allow the stretch to happen.
