Tight hamstrings can get in the way during sex. Try these three stretches daily: a standing toe-touch, a supine single-leg pull, and a kneeling half-split. Each takes a few minutes and has easier modifications if you're not flexible yet.

If you recognize that you have tight hamstrings and it's impeding on your ability to really experience pleasure when you're doing couples yoga with your partner, then I highly suggest starting to incorporate these 3 stretches into your daily routine, even if it's just for 5 minutes a day. First stretch is going to be a toe touch. Now, if you're able to touch your toes, great. If you're not able to touch your toes, that's okay as well. I'm gonna sit with a straight back. I'm going to flex my feet, pulling my toes toward me, and I'm going to extend my arms forward and with a flat back, reach for my toes. You should feel the backs of your legs lighting up, especially behind the knees and in the hamstrings. If this is too intense, relax or bend your knees slightly. Next, we're going to come down onto our backs, keeping one foot planted and extending the other leg up toward the ceiling. We're gently going to pull that straight leg down and toward our chest. Another one that I would recommend doing is a half split. I'm going to start on my knees, plant one foot in front of me, and then extend extend that leg straight. I'm going to try and keep a flat back as I angle my chest forward and pull my toes back on that front foot. If you're not able to actually touch the ground from here and you're having a hard time balancing, and I would recommend getting some books and you can place your hands on those books for stability. And that's pretty much it for today. If you have any questions, you can put them in the comment section. But until next time, mwah, stay spicy!
