If you sit for long stretches during the day, chances are your hips and hamstrings will feel tight. It’s one of the most common mobility complaints I hear about as a trainer, especially from people who spend hours at a desk, behind the wheel, or who are training for long-distance running or cycling events.
That’s why I asked a 59-year-old yoga teacher which single stretch she’d choose if she could only do one every day. Her answer? Janu Sirsasana, also known as the "head-to-knee pose."
