It is about consistent, small movements that safely open up your body. Let's focus on foundational drills to help you gain flexibility. ## Photos and videos - [Video: **"Mountain Walking" Drill for Hamstring Flexibility:** Tight hamstrings are a common challenge. I call this drill "mountain walking" where you walk your feet from Parvatasana (Mountain Pose) to your hands and back. Practicing this daily can massively improve your hamstring flexibility.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/edf2a078-8c89-48ec-b6f9-aa796bb37807) ## About Drills for Strength & Flexibility The 'Mountain Walking' drill I demonstrate here is a game changer for tight hamstrings. Instead of forcing a stretch in *Padahastasana* (Hand to Foot Pose), this rhythmic movement between *Parvatasana* (Mountain Pose) and your hands gently warms up the muscles. If you do this 10 to 15 times every morning, you will feel the difference in your range of motion within weeks. ### Why Drills Matter Many people think they need to be flexible to start yoga, but it is actually the other way around. My approach to 'Yoga for Cure' is built on the belief that progress comes from steady, daily movement rather than forcing your body into a position it is not ready for. These drills are designed to bridge that gap. ### Focusing on Alignment You will hear me say *'nimma bennannu straight aagi itkolli'* (keep your back straight) often because correct alignment is the only way to get the benefit of a pose without risking injury. When we work on strength, we are not looking for heavy lifting. We are looking for stability in your joints and engagement in your muscles. ### How to Practice - **Be Consistent:** Do these movements daily, even if it is just for 5 minutes in the morning. - **Listen to Your Body:** If you feel sharp pain, stop immediately. Discomfort from stretching is normal, but pain is not. - **Use Props:** If you cannot reach the floor, use blocks or a chair. Do not collapse your spine just to touch your toes. ### Who This Is For These drills are perfect for beginners who feel stiff, those who spend hours sitting at a desk, or anyone looking to build a foundation for more advanced asanas. You do not need experience, just an open mind and a mat. ## About Yoga for Cure I am Neha. My classes at 'Yoga for Cure' are designed to help you start exactly where you are, whether that is struggling with stiff shoulders or just wanting to build a sustainable practice. We move slowly, focusing on breath and alignment, so you can see real progress without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
