The beloved and often used stretch in yoga classes but more effective! This loaded stretch is highly effective in assisting the external rotation of our hip joint. It is done with the entire lower body kinetic chain in mind. By keep ing the front foot actively dorsi flexed, we can ensure a much more stable knee position.

A very effective loaded stretch for opening the hips...safely. The load creates resistance which is the counterbalance to overstretching.

Place one foot in between the hands.

Keep the front foot flexed.

Rotate the front hip outward while squeezing the back glute and pushing out the back heel.

Only go about halfway then hold your end range for the duration of your reps.

2-3 sets for 10-15 reps per side.
