Yoga Poses Extended Angle Pose (Utthita Parsvakonasana)  Parsva means side and kona is an angle. This is a deep lateral stretch, lengthening the muscles along the side of the torso and straight leg while challenging the strength of the bent leg and core muscles.
 Extended Angle Pose - Adapted (Utthita Parsvakonasana) Parsva means side and kona is an angle. This is a fantastic lateral stretch (for the side of the body). Stretch the whole length of the torso and straight leg while breathing deeply will leave you feeling invigorated and just a little bit taller!
Lying Cross Legged Twist This gentle supine twist is also a great stretch for the hip and iliotibial band.
Lying Hip Abductor Stretch This is the best method I know of to stretch the hip abductors. The muscles being stretched include the Gluteus Medius and Iliotibial Band.
Lying Hip Internal Rotator Stretch This is a gentle, safe way to stretch the internal rotators of the hip. Make sure that you do not feel any strain in your knee or ankle while doing this stretch.
Warrior II Pose (Virabhadrasana II) This pose both strengthens and stretches the legs, and makes you feel like a WARRIOR!
