Dragon Stretch
The dragon stretch is a floor stretch that opens the front of the hip one side at a time. Here is what it lengthens and what to watch for at home.
01Home Exercise
Room in the hips, without forcing it.
The muscles at the front of the hip shorten with a lot of sitting, and that shows up later as a forward lean in standing, a shorter stride in running, and a low back doing work the hips should be doing. This stretch lengthens them one side at a time. Follow the position shown in the video, keep the trunk tall rather than collapsed, ease in slowly instead of bouncing, and give both sides a turn.
