Yoga for hip mobility combines movements of the joints with stretches for the leg muscles. Strengthening poses and stretches help you focus on keeping your hips stable and controlling your range of motion.
In this 30-minute class, you'll practice “Seated Forward Bend”, “Dynamic Reclining Angle Pose” and “Reclining Wide-Angle Pose with a Strap”. In the seated forward bend, you'll feel a stretch along the backs of your legs. Fold forward smoothly, without jerking. You'll finish by lying down to rest.
In seated poses and lunges, don't press on your knees to deepen the position. Use support if it helps you stay steady and avoid unnecessary strain in your lower back.
