How to do the 90/90 Hip Stretch

1. Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet planted, then let both legs fall to one side.
2. Line up the front shin in front of your torso and allow the back leg to open behind you so each knee makes a right angle.
3. Rotate your chest toward the front thigh, plant your fingertips on the ground, and lengthen through the spine.
4. Hinge forward from the hips, easing into the stretch while keeping your breath calm and steady.

Tips

• Think of your spine reaching long rather than diving your head toward the floor.

Adjustments

• Sit on a cushion, yoga block, or folded blanket if your hips need a little elevation to relax into the setup.
