Suffering from low back and hip pain associated with poor hip mobility. These are 5 of my favorite beginner mobility exercises that will keep you limber and flexible. The videos for each of these exercises will be made available on our YouTube and Instagram/Facebook pages later this month.
1. Deer Pose
Starting Position - Begin with your left leg forward, knee bent and left foot positioned in front of the right foot. Your right hip will be inline with your knee bent and your left foot inline with the left knee.

Stretch - Extend your upper body back you should feel a stretch in the front of the right leg. Hold for a minimum of 20 seconds.

Stretch - Fold forward over the left leg. Hold the stretch for a minimum of 20 seconds.

2. Wide Leg Child’s Pose

4. Pigeon Stretch
