An hour of yoga during lunch. Satisfying as usual. Latest discovery, after starting to do forward folds with knees bent rather than straight, is that my hamstrings are really sore. Intuitively I thought that keeping legs more or less straight would focus the stretch on hamstrings, while bending knees puts more of the stress on quads. Somehow though, that doesn't seem to be true. After months of straight leg bends with no real progress in flexibility, I am now feeling the work coming from bent knee folds.  Hoping that in a few weeks, the increased flex follows. We'll see.
