Hip Flexor Stretch (15 min practice)

If you're new to Science of Stretching, there are three principles to keep in mind (1) wet noodle (2) breathe to relax, and (3) time under passive tension. Using these three principles, you can very effectively open up your hips, hamstrings, and spine.

Oh Yes, more of these please. You are an inspiration!

[ScribblerYT]

Yes, more of these videos please! Your teaching during the long holds helps me to understand my own biomechanics better and what needs more attention and care. Thank you for your time and help !

[Moodymoggy]

Those 5 minute holds are a killer, thankyou. Yes can you please do more hip opening routines on YouTube.

[louisehankin]

I love the science of stretching and the lessons you give it helps me to do these poses correctly! Please don't ever stop 😁❤

Just recently found you online. Turning 60 this year and need to limber up. I also have had high BP for 40 years and on meds. Hoping all of this helps a bit. Thanks very much for doing these videos.

hi Lucas. first off thanks for putting out such quality content! i've always lived on the athletic side of life and definitely ignored stretching for the most part, and yes i've paid for it. i've started to implement this stretch routine almost daily and ive noticed some benefits! althought i've noticed that when i settle in the pigeon pose, i tend to get some tingling in both my legs within a few minutes, to the point where i feel like stopping, but by the end it feels great! i'd love it if you could enlighten me on what that means thanks!

Thank you! I'm struggling with hip pain and stiffness. I'm 51 and feel like I'm in the body of an 80 year old!

Always great to participate in a class led by you Lucas. Your explanations of each pose and what muscles are being stretched are always easy to understand. Looking forward to more of these mini classes. You asked about convenient times...I'm EST so mornings to early afternoon works for me. Thanks so much.

[vanessawirz]

Thank you for this great opportunity, I love watching your videos. Your classes not only show helpful stretches but are also easy to understand on the anatomical subject. More videos for the hips would be nice, with a focus on hip impingement.

[Cheffy]

Thank you. You have helped my back, hip and ankle stiffness so much

[bethdavidow]

This was great, Lucas! I live on a boat and your classes & YouTube videos are really appreciated!

[mathildevandeven]

Even though I bought the 21 day hip opening challenge (brilliant, I can defenitely recommend) I love this video. Keeps me motivated to keep practicing during cold winter months. Thanks Lucas!

Loving your videos and teaching. I've had chronic low back pain for over 10 years and have tried every kind of therapy on the market. But no one has talked about long-hold stretching. Just finished 2 weeks of your science of stretching and it's been giving the most relief yet. Looking forward to where a few more weeks will take me. I want to try your "happy back" program too. Much thanks from rural Canada :)

[frankbrady]

Very clear instruction. It really works. Really explains the science behind yoga.

[danieljohnson]

10:47 eastern time. Great class. Trying to get my 70 year old hips flexible.

[kathyjenkins]

Please do a video on stretching the groin properly in butterfly.

[hestiaherbie]

Loved this! Would love some more inner thigh focused practices, and tips on dealing with severe imbalances from side to side.

[EvaKumova]

Thank you so much! I will do these exercises indead of splits after my workout squats and jumps from squats with 20-40kg!

[kathrynling]

Love these long hold stretches. Great for a focused stretch when you only have time for a coffee break. Love to see more bite sized sessions.

Love YB and hip challenges with Lucas. They make a difference!
