A yoga teacher says these are the three poses you should be practicing if you have tight hips

Hip mobility comes into play whenever you bend, squat and even walk. If you experience pain, soreness or stiffness when performing these movements, your hip flexor muscles (which attach your lower body to your upper body) might need some work.

If you struggle with sore hips, often the last thing you want to do is “poke the bruise” and lean into that discomfort. Thankfully, there are pain-free, gentle ways you can improve your hip mobility and yoga can be a great place to start with this.

“Yoga is an incredibly effective and sustainable approach to improving hip mobility because it addresses not only muscular flexibility but also joint awareness, nervous system regulation and breath connection,” says yoga instructor Veronique Ory . You may like
