For tender hamstrings try bound ankle pose
Sit with your legs straight out in front of you, sitting on a blanket
if you have tight hips. Pull one ankle into your groin followed by the
other. If you cannot grab hold of both ankles without rounding your
back hold onto the shins. Press the soles of your feet away from one
another so as to unfold the feet like an open book. Draw your heels as
far into the groin as is comfortable. Inhale and lengthen your spine
skyward, exhale and press your thighs toward the floor. If you are
comfortable you can lean forward keeping the spine long feeling the
sternum reach up and forward. Do not round the back, bounce the legs up
and down or press on the knees.
