So today we're going to work on opening the hips again.
If you've got a bolster or a large cushion you can use, you can just start with sitting
on it.
And just pay attention to how your legs feel here.
You're probably going to feel it in your hip flexors and you might feel it more on one
side than on the other side.
So to open them up I'm getting them moving, the closer they are to the pillow, your knees,
the closer they are to the pillow, the better it is.
The wider you have them the more you might feel it in your hip flexors.
So you kind of lower down onto the floor kind of.
And then you can come up to cobra, kind of a cobra arms.
And then if you want to go farther come up to the pillow and then upright.
And then you can lean back a little bit.
Touch your head to the wall and come forward.
And go really slow when you do this.
You want to give your hips time to adjust to this movement.
You might also feel it in your kneecaps. If you need to roll a towel for your knees or put a yoga mat under it, by all means please do that.
Alright, the next step to this stretch is to put your feet against the wall like that and then you're going to just drop down onto the pillow.
Now this is a modified frog pose and you want to keep your feet flat on the wall. So adjust so that both feet are against the wall.
