Also, they don’t imagine active/dynamic stretching like the example above, but more passive, static stretches. Most of the time, when people think of the hip-opening asanas, they tend to think of asanas that don’t stretch the front of their hips, like the image above does, but rather asanas that involve a position of external rotation and flexion of the hips. In essence, they are asking for a recommended hip opener. For every time I get a question about shoulder pain in chaturanga, I get two for what students describe as “tight hips.” “How can I stretch my hip flexors?” they ask, pointing to the front of their pelvis.
