Cobbler’s Pose

When you sit in a chair all day, nothing feels quite as good as performing a hip opening asana. After performing some yoga poses, you’ll feel the hips release right away, providing relief throughout the groins, back, and thighs. In this slideshow, we feature a variety of hip openers, perfect for any level of yoga skill.

One of the easiest poses for hip release is Cobbler’s Pose. Sit on the floor with the soles of your feet touching, and ease forward a little at a time. If it feels good to rest on the floor like this practitioner, do it. Always bend at the waist, however. Don’t stress the lower back.
