5 simple yoga asanas for hip mobility

Child's Pose (Balasana): Start on your hands and knees, then sit back on your heels, stretching your arms forward and lowering your forehead to the ground. This gentle stretch releases tension in the hips and lower back.

Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana): From a tabletop position, bring one knee forward towards the same-side wrist and extend the other leg behind you. Lower your hips towards the ground and fold forward, feeling the deep stretch in the hip flexors and glutes.

Bound Angle Pose (Baddha Konasana): Sit on the floor, bringing the soles of your feet together and allowing your knees to drop towards the ground. Hold your feet and gently flap your knees up and down to increase mobility in the hips.

Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II): Step your feet wide apart, turn one foot out to the side, and bend the knee, keeping it aligned with the ankle. Extend your arms out parallel to the floor, opening the hips and stretching the inner thighs.

Happy Baby Pose (Ananda Balasana): Lie on your back, bend your knees into your chest, and grab the outsides of your feet. Gently pull your knees towards the ground, opening the hips while keeping the spine grounded.
