Grab a bench and use it for more than just strengthening. Use it for stretching! The elevated pigeon will get those hips open and unlocked for increased mobility and flexibility. Pigeon pose is one of yoga's most popular moves and for good reason - best let's step it up a notch and really unlock all those muscles and joints that get stuck after today's day-to-day sitting life.

I wish more people would include regressions and progressions in their fitness videos. Thank you for this!!! I love doing the pigeon stretch but I often get frustrated that I don’t have the flexibility to do it completely right. This helps me so much!

This is the stretch that fixed my back. Ive had 3 back prolapses which was very bad. Almost every year i would injur my back in martial arts or strength training. Then a back specialist told me the root cause was stiff hips and when i got to try this stretch it hurt like crazy. But eventually it loosen up my hips and i have been pain free for 4 years now :)

He's a guy that would look normal with a eye patch.

This is the yoga instructor that you have to worry about your wife going to 😂

[sharnaepegues]

Idk why but in a way, you kind of look like you’d be a yoga instructor that was hired by a married suburban woman that she’d be caught cheating with lol.

Take care with your knees on this one, you want to avoid bending sideways at the knee and forcing the stench there instead of the hip. The knee is susceptible to injury with any pigeon pose like this one. Personally feel this should be called out in the clip but whatever just don't want people injuring themselves

Josh, thank you for showing up with what seems to be required to achieve my freedom. 
Somehow in life, your timing always seems to be just right for the moment in my life where I arrive at a road block. I believe the term is Serendipitous, in English.
My hips have been hard for me to reach for many years now. Day one of your help and I am feeling the release begin!
Thank you so very much for the good work you are doing with your time here on this Earth.
From one broken and recovering body, my gratitude comes from the beating heart within.
Kindest Regards,
Andrew

This guy looks exactly like the yoga dude from gta 5

He looks like that one yoga coach who took his time to learn how to say namaste

18 years of crippling lower back pain, sciatica, physiotherapy, chiropractor therapy and trying this best stretch ever might just be the answer! Day one, but I really felt the release, I am so hopeful with this one. Thanks for sharing

[hkluft]

YES! Been doing this stretch once a day last 10 years, and really makes a difference! But have to keep doing it..

[kyliewilson]

Didn't hear a word...just mesmerized by the body.

[nicolasparisot]

Thank you so much man!
As a law student im sitting at my desk 10-12 hours a day and I am encountering many difficulties with my hips when im training (especially with sumo-deadlifts). I am sure this will help tremendously!

For really stiff people: works also with a table at hip height

[dwaynehitchcock]

You have a magnificent build. It's perfect in my eyes.

[patriciacole]

I jumped up from sitting too much and I’ve done this stretch often but with my knee bent too much like you said. Thank you for correcting my mistake. Yes. Sooo much better. Whew. I pray that you will have a heart for the Truth of God equal or surpassing your accuracy in body health. Again thank you for posting this. I needed it🌻

[Schelby.Lo]

What a body, wow! Means lots of work, to be in such an excellent shape. I'm impressed.

[FitnessAndLongevityWithHan]

I’m 52 and I’ve been weight training since the ripe age of 13. I love your videos and suggested exercises. I have incorporated a lot of your hip mobility exercises and the impact to my hip mobility has been incredible. I’ve literally reversed time for my body and I feel 30 years old!

[gelsnr]

It’s called a piriformis stretch and it really works

[sarcasticstrange]

Thank you. Now my hips are so wide open, I don't need a bag with me to carry things.
