Yoga Therapy for the Hips
This short therapeutic sequence isolates the outer hips, hip flexors and quadriceps to improve their flexibility and help counteract the effects of chronic sitting. With regular use, musicians, office workers, dentists and dental hygienists will find ease in their body at work and at home. Yoga practitioners will also find that these exercises will quickly improve their flexibility in their asana practice.
Comments
Thank you for offering this sequence. In my opinion, it is NOT for beginners. I have limited range of motion and my hips are very tight. Working with a chair was extremely awkward.
Erica, this short yoga session is helping me get through my training for my first marathon (at the age of 52). I have been doing this session after my long runs and it provides relief for my tired legs and cranky hips in the short amount of time I can muster for another physical activity. One month to go! Thanks, thanks, thanks!
Thank you Erica - These stretches and your modifications from other peoples comments helped believe I can stretch again and not
be afraid to do so .
Can this be done during pregnancy? Should there be any modifications.
