20 Min Yoga For Sore Hips, Legs, & Lower Back

Welcome to your quick and effective yoga practice for tight hips and body. In this class, we will guide you through a sequence of poses that will get deep into your hip flexors, glutes, and lower back, helping to release any stiffness, tension, or pain in that area of your body. All you need is yourself and your mat. Take some deep breaths and let go of anything that no longer serves you as you enjoy this practice. We'll begin by coming over to the edge of your mat, bringing your feet together, and taking a deep breath in. As you exhale, bend your knees and fold forward, allowing your body to relax and release. From here, we'll move into some hip-opening poses, such as pigeon pose, lizard pose, and cow face pose. These poses will help to stretch and open up the hips, allowing for greater flexibility and range of motion. As we move through the practice, remember to breathe deeply and listen to your body. If at any point a pose doesn't feel right, or you need to modify it, don't hesitate to do so. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and safe. As you come to the end of the practice, take some time to relax in savasana, letting all of the tension and stress melt away. When you're ready, slowly come back to a seated position and take a few moments to ground yourself and set an intention for the day ahead.
