Yoga for tight hips

What helps tight hips? Slow, sustained hip stretches, done regularly and gently, can help hips that feel tight from sitting. Warm up first, breathe evenly, and back off if you feel pinching in the joint instead of a stretch in the muscle.

Helpful tips

  • Warm up with gentle movement before deep stretches.
  • Hold stretches for several slow breaths, without bouncing.
  • A stretch should feel like a pull in the muscle, not pain in the joint.
