I’m often surprised by just how much tension I hold in my hips. Whenever I stretch or do yoga, I often experience discomfort around my hips during lower-body movements, and I notice they can be tight when squatting.
It makes sense that I lack mobility in my hips. I work at a desk, which means I spend at least seven or eight hours a day sitting. This naturally restricts mobility in my hips and weakens my hip flexors.
For this reason, I’m always looking for ways to give a bit of extra TLC to my hips, so I was excited to see that Adriene Mishler—better known online as Yoga With Adriene —recently shared a new yoga practice dedicated to opening up the hips. You may like
