Hip Opening Yoga Poses

Hip openers stretch the muscles around the hip joint: the outer hip and glutes in Pigeon, the inner thighs in Butterfly and Frog, the front of the hip in lunges. Move slowly, use a block or blanket to bring the floor closer, and back off if you feel it in the knee rather than the hip.
