A slow, gentle 12-minute yoga practice on the mat to ease tight hips and create space in the hip joints.

Adriene guides a quick, careful practice for tight hips: warming things up, exploring simple, controlled movements and giving some love to the hip joints. Holding each pose while staying with the breath invites the body to soften and release tension. It runs about 12 minutes on a mat.

Who Is It For?

Anyone with stiff hips who wants a short, gentle yoga session, including beginners, to build ease and release tension.

Who Is It Not For?

Not the right pick if you want a strength or cardio workout, as this is a slow practice focused on release.

Key Benefits

Builds gentle strength and stability around the hips while inviting length, release and a calmer, more relaxed body.

Things to Keep in Mind

Move slowly and never force a stretch; ease out of any pose that pinches or hurts in your hips or knees.
