Tight hips are a very common nuisance, especially among people who sit at their desks all day, or athletes—like runners or cyclists—who do a lot of moving in one direction only. Yoga can be a great remedy to this problem, especially the two postures I'm going to teach you today: Warrior II and Triangle Pose.

Give them a try yourself, and really pay attention to the feeling of your hips opening up as you move. Do these anytime you need a good stretch. They're great for doing in your office at work, after a hard workout, or when you wake up first thing in the morning.
