I had that at that age, turn out it was the dairy giving me hip pain. If you don't want to ditch it try cutting the consumption in half and see what happens. Dairy has been found to be the main case of hip fractures in the elderly. (i'm only 28, but at 17 i was exactly the same pop pop pop).

These hip opener exercises have saved my life! I'm beginning to be able to walk with no hip pain

Never leave comments on vids like these, but your voice is so easy to listen to and your modifications came so effortlessly. Please make more tutorials!

You are so skilled at explaining precisely how to get into each pose - thank you!

OH BLESS YOU, ANGEL! I wished I found your video sooner!! My hip pain has finally subsided!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSTRUCTIONS!! 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

I’m so grateful that I have found you! I’m a senior with severe arthritis and have suffered chronic pain for over two decades and have back issues since my early 20s. I have drug sensitivities and allergies so there’s not much I can take for pain. I also have a social anxiety disability difficult for me to go out of my home and with this pandemic lifestyle, everything worsened. Because of allergies and bad reactions to medications I’m realizing I must take care of my body by eating proper and by exercise. I have tried yoga a few years back when I was able to go out and was finding relief and was gaining strength. Things have gotten worse since Covid and not being able to go out. I’m so thankful I found this on KZread and have started working out with you Lisa. Thanks for making this available for me and others like me. I appreciate how you explain each pose and advice while teaching. Great thanks again! Namaste and God bless

Lisa, this video has been a lifesaver for me. I started using it about four months ago and can see steady progress in flexibility and ability to hold poses. I'm 73 and was starting to experience hip aches while walking. That's gone!

Wow, I am so glad I found this. I've been dealing with awful pinched nerves in my hips but generally am a very flexible person so was at a loss for what other exercises to do. i even sobbed at one of these, I can't believe how tight my hips were, I never knew how to help them. Thank you

Been doing this for about 3 weeks now , at least 3-4x per week, still can’t do a full lotus but my posture is a lot better! I also don’t feel as tense in my core, hamstrings, & back when running and doing other workouts! Thank you! Hopefully I can’t do full lotus soon, I really began doing this so I could meditate in full the lotus pose.

A. Djalo I can tell you that I did it for about 5-6 months at least 3-4/week and my body felt like it never had before. I was walking comfortably. I wouldn’t get as sore after my workouts and basketball sessions. No back pains. Just overall comfort ability in your own skin. I stopped just because my routine changed but will start again and 100% recommend it!!! Also I never reached the full lotus position. That takes a lot of dedication and my hips have been tight since I was a teen lol

Ok I assume this is just supposed to demonstrate the poses because every pose is only one side, and she does not actually hold for the recommended 5 breaths

As someone with a little bit of flexibility but not enough for the full lotus this video was perfect for me. I feel the blood flowing in places I've never felt before and I feel amazing. This has definitely inspired me to take classes for yoga. Thank you so much!

I feel pain more than it should be. I do gymnastics and every time I lungeg and did my handstand or cartwheel , 10 bad and 1 good my pain was 8/10. But now that I've watched this and done it it's gone to 5/10. Thank you so much. I also do recommend doing this at least 3 times a week, I do it every night and on my first night I could already feel an improvement with my hip. So thank you so much your a life saver!!!!

Are you want that your muscle attaches to the vertebrae of the lower spine, moves through the pelvis and connects to a tendon at the top of the femur. [Check Details Here==> tinyurl.com/hipflexors86 ]. It also attaches to the diaphragm, so it’s connected to your breathing, and upon it sits all the major organs.?

Thanks for this! I have a very tight low back and hips and some mornings I can't even walk properly when I get out of bed. Doing this twice a week has really helped me. A lot of yoga videos don't take other ability levels into account. This did, and if was simple, short, and effective. I have a rapidly growing 7 month old so I really need to be able to get up and go in the mornings.

Amazing session. I feel so relaxed after trying the lotus posture. For the rest of poses...only time will tell. Thank you so much for initiating me into something I know will be tremendously beneficial to my wellbeing. May God bless you for sharing your gift.

this video has helped me tremendously. i went hiking a few months ago but slipped and fell on a slope and it jammed my hips so being able to make them release some tension has made my life a little easier. thank you!

Wow these stretches are amazing to do!! Especially the last one I think it is perfect for the front of the hip and the side of the other hip when in the stretch. Thank you so much

I’m in great hip/lower back/hamstring pain. So glad to have found your video, going to try it tonight

I love how you explain so clearly and that you take into account the people who still at the beginning of opening their hips. I will find definitely be looking for more of Lisa's videos. I have already seen a difference in my openness and in my back stability. And another thing I did not expect was a release of energy into my sacral chakra, libido seems to be going up. Thank you so much!

Lisa that was the most informative session on hip openers I have ever experienced, namaste! thankyou so much

Very tough poses for me, but great instruction as to how to attempt them in a safe, steady manner. I’ll be attempting these stretches regularly, from now on.

Nice session thank you. Good exercises. Would have liked them to be done both sides so its easier to be follow along.

I took the time to put it on pause so I could do both sides of my body. I am so glad I did. After doing those I am AMAZED at how loose my hips are? I was so miserable when I woke up this morning. I had worked yesterday cutting down all the dead branches off of my trees in my yard. So when I woke up today I could barely move. I have been doing stretching exercises all week but even still I was sore anyway but after doing that last exercise of hers I FEEL GREAT! I can't believe how much that one opened up my hips for me and my lower back? I have scoliosis in my spine and it was hurting SO BAD but now it feels SO MUCH BETTER. I feel like I could cry I am so happy. lol

I like that she explains the instruction slowly and clearly, showing us how to do it. Mindful of wrong position. Very good exercises/stretching helps relief my back aches. Tq

Thx for this video you are the best hip training teacher you have made all of pain to freedom my hips were very bad but I have started to strengthen my legs for one month now my leg are getting better from my ankle to hip you have changed people s lives from car accident and atheists thank you for making this video 🤗🤗🤗

I try to do this twice a week, this is a great routine it makes my hips and back feel amazing

Thank you for specifying the details for proper alignment. This was great. Now I guess I will have to play the video again to open up my left hip.

Thank you so much for this video, you helped align my pelvis back to where it should be after years of unsuccessful PT. I did this for 3 months and my body corrected itself and it stayed that way a year later.

Thank you for this pose, I am a runner doing the pose I felt all the pain and tightness on my joints. I felt really good stretching them out. I will be doing it everyday until I stop feeling the sweet pain on my joints or muscles. Great video for runners

I can’t believe how much residual emotional pain that I carry physically. When I stretch a new area I have never worked before, it feels like I’m squeezing the pain out, makes me cry. Thank you so much for this video. Thank you for your practice.

Excellent video, thank you. I am 62 and have recently renewed my love for cycling. After some months back in the saddle and trying for longer rides I seemed to have strained my hip flexor. Anyway, have been looking for stretching exercises for this area. Your programme is very helpful.

Hey Lisa: Excellent cues, very thorough explanations as to why and where the poses affect the body. Really appreciate identifying modifications which is key for people who are not as flexible. Feedback, if I may - is to carry through with the 5 breaths because it seemed rushed. I know there is so much to cover, but when we’re following your video, we need to do each pose to it’s fullest. Keep up the GREAT work! Namaste.

Very helpful. Thank you for this most clear video. Unbelievable as it may sound, I followed you through to the very end and managed to do a lotus pose for the first time ever. My feet weren't yet close to my hips and I can only hold it in for 3 breaths, but its just amazing!

Love this exercise. Personally, I enjoy that the video only has one side for each leg. I can simply replay and do the other side, while listening to her gentle advice and calming music. 💚

I did this ONCE (watched the video twice for both sides) and it completely relaxed my hips and great explanations

I love how well you describe each pose! Thank you

Before doing this I felt my hip/legs articulations kind of rusty. Now they feel well aligned. Thank you ywy

I love these stretches!!! I can’t wait until I don’t have to watch the video to remember all of them. Thank you!! 😊

Thank you, my hips have been so tight, i took some time to do these poses, I will start to do these poses on a daily basis ,

These stretches really helped the pain in my si joints. I use a pillow. So good. Thank you.

Lisa, Thanks for your great instruction and example in how to achieve these poses! Great explanation with much patience. The photos are exceptional in their clarity. These asanas are some of my yoga goals.

OMG... I've been dealing with lower back pain for months now... Nothing helped... Even painkillers stopped working... 1 session of these poses and my pain is litterally gone.... U were a god sent mam... 🙏

This felt really good. I cant do the last few but I've tried all the other ones my lower body feels so refreshed.

Thank you so much for this !! I had forgotten how much I like yoga until I tried this out. 💕

Just wow! Amazing guide. I find it really helpful. I hope my hips will be opened enough when the time the head on to vipassana retreat will come.

I did the entire program and stopped only to let kitty outside!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you very much!!!😊I already tried few tutorials, but this is the best so far. I tried it today before ma Zazen meditation, and I was already able to do half lotus😊I trained some other exercises for already one month and there were very little or no results….Thanks one more time again! I will keep going🥳My goal is to do full lotus!:)

Hi! I'm a 51 y/o female disabled Army veteran. I had surgery on my lumbar spine last summer, partly to remove a bone spur that had been threatening my spinal cord. And a second emergency surgery to fix where injured discs had just sort of given up. in at least one spot, they tell me, the disc was just gone and I had bone on bone. Two more lumbar joins weren't much better. My lumbar vertebrae are now supposed to be fused. But I CAN bend and turn/twist my thoracic spine (your whole ribcage through the shoulder thing). I'm grateful to the VA, I really am. However, every question I have asked up there about recovering and building strength in my abdominal core and correcting some issues I know I have in the hip flexors/ Sacro-iliac/sciatica/piriformis, etc. are met with blank stares and half-answers. THANK YOU for making this and sharing it to the internet. I have a feeling that this is going to be a great place to begin rebuilding my body. THANKS!!! Trish

I've been lifting for years and I have always said that yoga was the most painful portion of my exercise. I completely stand by that.

What a wonderful teacher...you can tell when a person has had a lot of joy in their life..

i have been doing this stretch 3 times a week, wasnt close to touching my toes but now i can see i am become more flexable with these stretches im going to keep going!

@karencilman3002

Yes! Keep going! Yoga is very subtle and it takes a while to see results of each pose. I just pause the video after each demo to do both sides of my body. When I was younger, I naturally went into the butterfly to meditate; when I was 5, I liked to feel my hair on my toes!

Awesome video thank you! Ive added it to my regulars. I sit a lot for work and run and needed this. SI Joint pain for 6 months ugh. Well done :)

Have been doing these for two months now, incredible difference! To get up off floor from cross-legged position before I would have to get onto knees first and then hang onto wall or something and pull myself up. After one month I could get straight up without using my arms at all. I am 56

My hips felt immediately better. Thanks for this video

Omg thank you so much for this!!! I tried it and it stretched muscles that I didn't even know i had. thanka a lot!!

I've been frustrated that in 10 years of dance lessons and doing yoga a few times a week for the past few years I can rarely get into full lotus position, and it's never comfortable. It seems so easy for other people! I stumbled on this video and these stretches have helped a lot. After doing it 3 or 4 times I can get into full lotus on both sides. I think the difference is that she really gets into the proper positioning and breathing for each stretch. I realized I've been doing some of them all wrong. Agree with all the comments RE: showing both sides, but if you pause after each "1 sided" stretch it works for me.

Thought this was going to be difficult all these poses were simply a breeze! But felt great Loved it!

I just followed it.. and my hips feeling all open up.. thank you so much for this video.

Susan Sarandon doppelganger!!!! Thanks for all you do! my hip flexors are LOOSE again!!!

Thank you so much for this vedio 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏... you made me realize how stiff my hip is .. I completed your instructions .. will continue doing this forever

This helps so much in sports

I followed this video by chance intended to learn something about yoga and i felt well and relaxed to open my hip. After some years of stoping this exercise, i feel back pain and search again this video as i remember how well i felt before. I am sure i going to do it again as a routine.

Super skeptic here. I had always dismissed yoga as a non-workout workout for soccer moms. I repent! My lower back pain is something that slows me down significantly and became a quality of life issue for me. I just wasn’t able to do the things I loved anymore. In a fit of desperation I went looking for a video to learn to properly stretch and came across this one. I’ve done it for 4 days straight, sometimes twice a day. I’m pretty amazed right now. The throbbing pain has subsided by appr 40% in just four days. I was wrong...yoga is awesome. Thank you for this vid.

This is exactly what I need right now, just finished 3 breath for each stretch and my hip tension has all gone! Thank you so much for the content!

Love this video 💕 thank you. I’m worried I’ll never be able to improve my flexibility though, it feels like it’s going to be a long road 😫

I just loved it Lisa. Well paced, well explained and there were some new techniques combined which I learnt now. Thank you so much.

Thank you, I was following your video, stretching and releasing a lot of stagnant energy from my hip area! Namaste!

Thank you Lisa for a great insight into helping to bring back mobility into the hips as my hip extensor is tight. My left side is the problem side, so do I predominately use my left leg for the poses, as you are using your right leg in all the movements? Thank you

I have been so embarrassed that I can't do the straddle when stretching. Adding the towel was a game changer! Thank you so much! It's hard to find stretching videos for people that aren't flexible.

waaw! this is great. After a few months of lockdown-doing-nothing, I started feeling pain in my lower back. These are exactly what I need. After a few times I already feel a difference. Thank you :)

Thank you for the excellent explanation of the techniques. I pause the video to do both sides. This is my go to video for stretches after long day of sitting for desk work

This is the most useful stretches for hips and back out there!!!

There is just so much pinching in the front of my hips when I try to do any of this. I don’t know what the problem is or how to fix it or prevent it

First yoga instructor I've seen with a full fupa. Also thanks for the video as I really needed it. Beginning yoga is where I'm at trying to relieve some back pain. Thanks so much.

SurfTiger White where is it.

I loved your exercises, Lisa. I wasn't able to fully do a couple of them like the straddle. Man is that one a killer but I have to say that the spinal twist and king pigeon were my favorites. Those did the most for me. I have been doing all kinds of exercises for a week with a great therapist but none of them did what the spinal twist has done for me in just a matter of a few minutes. Even though I really loved king pigeon that spinal twist unlocked my hips for me. Now I feel fantastic. I see some people mocking others on here for "being dramatic" but evidently that person hasn't had to deal with real pain before. Most likely a kid or they would know true pain. Anyway thanks a lot again for these exercises, Lisa. I have subscribed to your channel and I'll be doing these every day with you from now on. I also see a lot of people on here saying you should take the time to do "both sides". I guess they never heard of hitting "the pause button" before??? PFFT 😂😂😂😂😂

I did both sides and it feels good even if I'm not as open. Great job!!!

Noticed others also mentioned that both sides of the body would be more helpful. I appreciate your help towards others.

I get really tight hip flexors and end up always feeling exercises in my lower back and thighs. i have been on a mission to start really working on movement through my hips

This is a great video for opening up hip flexors Lisa shares wisdom takes time patience and so many easter eggs in the video of information on how to do yoga and get the most of it -- she patient kind and the poses are put together very well to open up the flexors do both sides
