Yoga PosesBound Half Lord of the Fishes (Baddha Ardha Matsyendrasana)Baddha means bound; ardha is half, matsya is fish and indra is ruler. This deep twist with a bind is a fantastic stretch for the spine, hips, legs and shoulders. Ensure that your pelvis acts as an anchor so that your spine can lift and lengthen to its fullest capacity. Breathe deeply and avoid stiffening the body.
Cow Face Pose (Gomukhasana)Go means cow; mukha is face. This posture is a fairly deep stretch for the hips, legs and shoulders. Move into it slowly and ensure that you are able to breathe deeply in the final pose.
Cow Face Pose - Legs Only (Gomukhasana)Go means cow; Mukha means face. This is a deep stretch for the hips, namely the gluteus medius, maximus and minimus, as well as the piriformis.
Cross-Legged Gentle Hip StretchThis is a gentle stretch for the hips, perfect for those who find it difficult to sit on the ground with their legs crossed.
Cross-legged Hip StretchThis is a nice way to stretch the hips, moving gradually from a gentle to a deep stretch.
Half Lotus Heron Pose (Ardha Padma Krounchasana)A unique pose in its demand on core strength, balance and both hamstring and hip flexibility.
Lying Cross Legged TwistThis gentle supine twist is also a great stretch for the hip and iliotibial band.
Lying Hip Abductor StretchThis is the best method I know of to stretch the hip abductors. The muscles being stretched include the Gluteus Medius and Iliotibial Band.
