Sitting, especially with a poor posture, tightens and shortens the muscles along the front of the trunk and the hip flexors, hamstrings, chest muscles and abdominal muscles all remain in a contracted state for many hours. The yoga stretches in this sequence help to counter too much sitting and are meant to open the front of the trunk, stretch the thighs and hip flexors.
