Hip Opener
How to practice
Support your knees and open them only as wide as your hips comfortably allow. Stay on your hands with a modest opening. Keep your hips over your knees and ease back at any inner-knee pressure.
Benefits
Stretches the inner thighs and explores hip opening in a wide-knee position.
Who should avoid or modify
- Pad both knees and keep the range small. Do not slide farther into groin or knee pain, and keep the lower back from sagging.
