After 10-Mile Runs, These Are the Yoga Poses That Unknot My Hips, Back, and Hamstrings

From your neutral hands and knees posture, tuck your back toes and lift into Downward-Facing Dog to stretch your calves and hamstrings. I like to shift my weight back and forth between feet to increase the stretch and introduce some gentle motion.

• Come onto the hands and knees into the classic upside-down-V shape called Downward Facing Dog.
• Hold for a few seconds.
• If it feels good, gently "pedal" your feet back and forth, lifting one heel and then the other.
• Hold for 20-30 seconds.
