Got Tight Hips? Ease Tension With This Relaxing 10-Minute Stretching Routine

20/06/2020 - 05:30 PM

If your hips are tight from sitting more, walking less, or from exercising longer in the warmer weather, take 10 minutes to give your lower body some relief. As a yoga instructor, these are the poses I lead the class through when anyone complains about their tight hips. These poses target the hips, of course, but also the hip flexors and quads, the hamstrings, and the lower back, since stretching these areas can help open and ease tension in the hips. Get on the floor and enjoy these next 10 minutes just for you.
