The commentary is wonderful--very insightful. I just wish you had an identical video except for the fact that you would carry out each pose with its full amount of breaths, as well as both sides.

wow I sounded like popcorn during this! Im only 17, but I carry stress in my hips, and this helped to relax and open them so much. Hopefully dropping a comment will help other people find this great video!

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

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

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!

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 KZfaq 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

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

Omg my lower back has been an issue on and off for a while.. it was bothering me a lot these last few days, but then I did this yoga on both sides and wow! Instant relief! Thank you!

I love how she explained the difference between straightening and rounding the spine, as well as why it was important to flex the feet.

anyone else cry while doing hip openers sometimes? I guess I definitely hold emotional tension in my hips haha. thank you for the video needed this ❤️

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.

"Alright, now take 5 breaths..." Me : *has time to take one* Her: "Aaaaaaand let's move on to the next one !" ...

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

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

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!

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

I love how well you describe each pose! Thank you

Thank you Lisa! This is the best hip flexibility routine I've found.

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 appreciate the explanations and the emphasis on making modifications to fit where you’re at for a particular day. I also appreciate they key areas to focus on to make sure the pose or modifications are correct.

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.

I love this sequence. Thank you so much for making it. I’ve downloaded your video and do it regularly. My hips tell me when it’s time. Love from a Peruvian living in South Africa.

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

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

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.

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

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!!!!

This helps so much in sports

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

3 days in !! Amazing results !!

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!

Very clear instructions. An inspiration.

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

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

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

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 🤗🤗🤗

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!:)

It's Working Amazingly..Thank You for this Video and Thanks to India for Introducing YOGA to World Wide

This has literally been a life saver 🌱🙏🏼, thank u

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.

My hips felt immediately better. Thanks for this video

Good morning Carl! Started the calf exercise variations. Thank you so much! 💖

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

Lisa I really enjoyed ur hip opener yoga video w very nice instructions 20 yrs ago I used to do it my memories got awakenened my muscles allowed me to mimic ur poses I felt great I will continue to use ur video. Thank u.

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

This was awesome!!! Thanks will make sure to repeat it many times until I can improve !

I love these stretches ...can't wait to try it all thank you!

Thank you this changed my life

EFFECTIVE. so happy with these 15min

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 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.

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

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 :)

This just maybe what i need for work. The pillow suggestion was very helpful as well. Thank you

Love this video! 71 years young. Today begins a new adventure for me.

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.

I've been doing this every night. So helpful!!

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

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!

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 ,

This has been SO helpful. You are good at explaining proper alignment for those of us who are less mindful. Thanks!

Wow I feel amazing after doing both sides with this video. These exercises work wonders.

Best yoga teacher

A wonderful routine!!! An improvement in the mobility of the hips is immediately felt, but also a general sense of well-being for the entire pevic and lumbar area. Thank you so Much. NAMASTÉ 🙏

"Were gonna start in a easy peasy pose" Meanwhile im struggling to even sit down

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

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

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

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.

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... 🙏

Hip mobility is key but strength and power of the hips is even more critical! Nice video!

Didn’t realise I was like a robot until I tried the first 3

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

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!!

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! Felt great!

this relieved sooo much hip pain for me🤩

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.

A lovely sequence for tight hips. I played the video twice to do both sides. I will use this sequence regularly at the weekend. Thank you.

Wonderfully explained exercises from a beautiful lady. Thank you so much Lisa.

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.

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.

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.

This felt amazing for my back and hips
