CINDY MASTRY: Namaste. There are many poses that work to open your hips while seated on the floor. I'm just going to show you a very simple one right now. So we're just going to bring our knees to 90/90, 90-degree angle in the front and 90-degree angle in the back. You're going to take your hand to your hip. Inhaling, in rotate your hip forward as you rotate your entire body forward and then as you exhale, you want to rotate that hip back down, so back down to the floor. Inhaling, rotating the hip forward, and then as you exhale, rotating the hip back. And what this is doing you'll feel is just opening the hip up a little bit and getting a little of that synovial fluid going. It's almost like your oiling that hip bone right in the hip socket. Good. Inhale, rotating forward and exhale, rotating back. And that's just one of the many hip openers or hip postures that you could do while seated on the floor.
