Holy tight hamstrings, BATMAN! I went to my third Vinyasa Flow yoga class yesterday and I really love it. I just don't know if my hamstrings and calves will ever open up and stretch out. I can't even get my heels to touch the floor in the downward dog position.
I know yoga will help tremendously with the training I'm doing; to help balance, strengthen and ground me. Here's my little prayer to the yoga gods, "Please just make me stretchy and bendy so that I don't look like such a dork when I try to touch my toes." "I would also like to have killer arms like Madonna, just without the fake British accent, thank you."

Down dog is not always the easiest pose for me. Thanks for mentioning how tight those hamstrings can be! I found that Leeann Carey has a great free yoga video on modifying down dog for your hamstrings.
