March Madness - Quick Hip Stretches


Hi Warriors! I don't know about you but between football season, the Olympics and basketball plus this crazy winter and long, cold, dark days I feel like I've been sitting on the couch entirely too much for too long. It's MARCH Madness... YEAH!!! And Spring is just around the corner. Woo Hoo.


In the meantime, take the opportunity while you're watching some of your favorite sports and TV shows to get off the couch, sit on the floor and do a few stretches. Your poses don't have to be perfect or in the right order. Just do what feels good. And if you think that sitting on the couch feels good, trust me you'll feel even better after just 5 minutes of stretching.


Ideally, your yoga practice is focused on the single task of quieting, conditioning and balancing your mind and your body. But as busy athletes, its sometimes hard to fit it all in. Tight hips tend to be a common problem area for most everyone, and sitting in chairs only makes hips tighter!


So, here is a 5 minute sequence to try. Get off the couch and join me...
