90/90 Hip Switch
Move 2 of 5
Starting position
Sit tall on the floor with both knees bent at 90 degrees — one leg flared out in front, the other out to the side, heels pinned down.
8–10 sets
Breath — Inhale to prepare · Exhale to execute
How to do it
Keeping your spine tall, slowly pivot both knees over to the opposite side, then back. Move smoothly from side to side, letting the hips rotate open.
Keep in mind
Drive your back buttock down toward the floor as you rotate to open up the joint space.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
