This is a great video Ester! A little question though: many runners have serious problems with their ilotibial bands. What stretches are good for this condition? The hip openers?

[yogatic]

@zenmasterfu Hip openers is a good one. I have a few video's for that on my website

yeeees!

@himantura1 It's true that it is not possible to directly stretch the IT band, but the syndrome itself comes from a tightness in the hip flexors, hamstrings, all those muscles we hate. The IT band itself is connected at the top to the Tensor fasciae latae. I'm currently stretching these muscles with the cow-faced pose, check out the yogatic website for a video of this pose.

[himantura1]

@zenmasterfu your IT band is a very thick fibrous structure - more of a tendon than a muscle therefore stretching does very little for the it band. (although stretching connecting muscles- eg hips may help a bit, 'it band stretches' are useless). Your best bet is to use a foam roller.

Esther, your videos are fantastic! I started doing your beginning videos last month and really enjoy them- you're a great instructor and explain poses so effectively! I've gradually been working my way through your other videos and already notice a difference in my flexibility and muscle tone. As a runner, this video was sooooooo helpful- I already feel better and can't wait to try doing it right after my run next time. Thank you so much!

I went for a run with my friend yesterday and I just practiced this sequence today; it's great to feel a nice stretch in the hamstrings!!!
