The first pose is to help mobilize the hip joint. This is not only a great stretch, but it also helps free up the hip joint when it is tight and painful.
Next is a psoas (hip flexor) stretch with glute muscle activation. This helps the muscles work together for a more mobile and stable hip joint.
Finally, we will stretch the hip capsule. This is another great way to get the hip joint moving and loosened up.
