do you have stiff hips yeah me too but we're going to fix that right now with a 10 minute hip stretch
and if you do this for seven days in a row you will not believe the difference it makes to your
hip flexibility and mobility and you may not know this but our hips are our storage center for our
past trauma hurt fear and sadness so if you've got tight hips this might make a lot of sense to
you but we've got to do the work and we're going to do it right now to release all of that we're
going to do each exercise for 45 seconds on with a 15 second arrest I am so excited let's get started
next up we're going to take our knees wide hold
then bring them up and down again we're working on making our hips flexible and
allowing for a wider range of motion and this is going to help with our balance and stability
we're going to continue working into that hip by taking our left leg up
raising the knee and then take that knee down to the left side hold and up again
change sides and the more you practice these
exercises the greater chance you're going to have at releasing those stored emotions
and that's one of the big things that you're going to notice at the end of
great job shake it out next up we're going to bring our
left knee down to the floor as close as possible
take a deep breath in and then turn to the side hold your breath and as you release go a little
bit further I'm sorry if Buddy's distracting he settles down in a minute I promise you
change sides
next up balance on your hands
bring your right leg back and your left knee up towards your shoulder and really
stretch into your hips now there's two options for this you can balance on your
knee like you see on the left hand side but the goal is to stretch into those hips take
as many rests as you like and work your way up but do persevere because it really helps
great job and if you're feeling very stiff right now that's okay
that's completely normal this is a deep stretch and we've worked our
way into it so just do the best you can take some rests and keep going
next up we're going into the pigeon pose so bring your left leg forward first lean into that
take your elbows down to the ground if you can doesn't matter if you can't and feel that stretch
doing this exercise every day is really helpful in stimulating your
digestion and it's through the opening of the hips for better digestion which
equals better health so let's change sides and breathe into that stretch
Ah we're at the end take your legs wide really feel into that stretch and be thankful
for what your body can do movement is our gift and we need to do it every single day
