20 Minute Hip Mobility Routine - THIS WORKS

Do this regularly and you are going to see a huge improvement to your hip flexibility - you just have to be consistent. Try it 3 times per week for the next 6 weeks and I know you will not regret it.
AS ALWAYS - Check with a physician before embarking on new fitness or exercise routines, including mobility.
Can't wait to hear how it felt for you.

I want to thank you for this - I can't believe how much tension and trauma I carry in my hips. I'm a runner and find my hips gathering stress and tightness as I push my distance. Doing this workout multiple times has caused a physical and emotional release for me, that is quite amazing! 😘

[@Tazer1100]

YOU WERE RIGHT! After doing this regularly for a month, the difference in my hip flexibly is insane! Love it! Thank you so much 😊

[@Mwahamanamadama]

Yes!! Also digging the progress bar in the screen! Stopped me from checking time left 😁 Thank you!!

DAY 5 - I have been enjoying this routine. It's effective and 20 minutes passes by quickly. As mentioned, I'm continuously sinking deeper into the poses, and there is not one pose that I like more than the other. Also, I am starting to realize that perhaps I have been holding on to too much tension around the hips for the longest time. I am glad that I made it a goal this year to care more for that area of my body. Also, I believe it is linked to how I manage stress throughout the day.

DAY 6 - I missed a day, but everything is alright. Got back on track today. I did not have access to yoga blocks this time around, so I used a cushion to raise my hips, and a pair of platform Crocs to rest my hands. Now, after returning again to this routine, I feel great 😊 Just what hips needed!

[@iamkaysandiego]

DAY 7 - It has officially been TWO WEEKS 🥳 Any forward bend yoga posture is still a struggle for me, so the transformation is not miraculous, but there has been realistic improvement since day 1. My hips don’t feel as tight as they did initially and I now have a routine that I can return to over and over again to counteract the effects of sitting at a desk. Going forward I could keep this up for an entire year, and take timelapse videos once a month to document my progress. Thanks Shona for what you do best! 💛

[@vidisharai243]

Shona you have helped me so much with my approach to yoga and more consistent practice. I love the variety you offer here, your period pain flow was a game changer for me. Keep doing/being you, you are helping so many! :)

[@shona_vertue]

THank you for this message :) it's made my week. I just made another gentle yoga practice for sickness or period - so you can change things up a bit. Hope you like it.

[@kellypantaleoni5166]

Thank you! I’ve been working on mobility and flexibility for two years now and you are right: the more consistent you are the more you see and feel changing😉

[@shona_vertue]

thank you for watching Kelly :) totally consistency and compliance :)

[@Linda9.12]

As always I love how you explain things so clearly. I have your mobility programme (well, I have them all) and this will be a nice wee change. Thank you Shona. You’re the best. Sending love & gratitude from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️

[@shona_vertue]

ah yaaaay!!! Well I'll make more stuff so you can add on and change things up. I know I need to add some ankle mobility in there too. Let me know if you have requests

[@Linda9.12]

@@shona_vertue a quickie for back & shoulders would be really good……oh and wrists! Thank you for all your valuable content 💗

[@iamkaysandiego]

DAY 3 - My body craves to do this routine every day, but I'm sticking to doing this every other day just to make it more sustainable for the long run. When I do the 90° with the legs, I can now bend my body forward with my forearms on the block, and I feel comfortable in the posture. I even managed to raise my right leg off the floor!

[@workouteveryday]

Very useful video for me, thanks

[@maddiepope629]

Shona, you've been instrumental in keeping my hips and emotional self happy over the years! Thank you so much - do not underestimate how many people you've supported through your work on KZbin. Speaking of lungeing properly... could you do a how-to video on it? I'm forever worrying that I'm not doing them correctly and want to avoid injury! x

[@shalinipuri1548]

Hi Shona!!!! Thank you for being so considerate to our tight hips 😘

[@shona_vertue]

I love your hips whether they're tight or flexy.... I just want them to be comfy and functional. :)

[@CornyPowerRiegel1]

I haven't done a video of you in a while, i guess now i do more :D i really really love your videos. i always get to know new stretches *.*

[@iamkaysandiego]

DAY 2 - My hips tightened up again since the last time. Nevertheless, my hips opened up at a faster rate. My body has in a way become more familiar with the poses. I also gained more awareness over my body, such as my right hip (the dominant side of my body) is way tighter than my left side. I feel good doing this routine that puts my hips back to "reset".

[@CaseyWillax]

Can we please get a full video breaking down that insane connection with the mind and limiting flexibility?? 🙏🙏

[@iamkaysandiego]

DAY 1 - You heard Shona: "Every second day, for the next two weeks" So, I guess I'll be posting my progress here for a total of 7 days! First time doing the routine, and I already feel instant 360° release around the hips, including the lower back!

[@calikatsai]

A) My hips feel great. Thank you. I have a lower back injury and it works down into my left hip so this is great. And B) Love the new Spotify single. 🤣

[@esmeraldamejia2920]

Tough, I love it 💖

[@sarahh781]

amazing hip class ... also where is your yoga outfit from as i love it? Thanks xxx

[@shona_vertue]

This outfit is crop shop boutique

[@teaganmorris845]

Hypermobile crew.. is this something we can subscribe to? I'd love to see more videos

[@iamkaysandiego]

DAY 4 - My hips continuously tighten up on the days in between. Nevertheless, I am able to sink deeper into the poses more and more every day. There has been transformation since I started, but I feel that I will notice significant transformation if I keep it up beyond two weeks.

[@csscott9803]

I love you when explain about meccamoreptor

[@csscott9803]

10:33 you so hilarious, Shona 😂😂😂😂😂

[@shona_vertue]

haha glad you found it funny :)

[@phannybrce]

My body loves you so much!

[@shona_vertue]

Oh thank youuuu - I love your body. :)

[@ellienelson4135]

Felt so much better after this!

[@shona_vertue]

Yay! Me too

[@csscott9803]

8:35 hilarious Shona 😂😂😂😂

[@emmanettuno3579]

How do you prevent knee pain in the last child poseish one? Also in the one where you tuck the foot near the body.

[@csscott9803]

[@AnaLenic007]

Hi, thank you for the video. Please do a postpartum hip mobility. I do not know if it happened due to birthing stress but my hips are so closed after birth :/. And frog variations please...

[@beyondthebop]

Seeing you uploading a new video made me super excited but then I broke my arm and now neither can I do any yoga nor can I work out :( Could you please create a hands-free yoga practice or do you have any tips what I can do? I’m afraid of losing the muscle mass I’ve worked so hard for by not being able to move as much. UPDATE: My arm is a lot better now and I do yoga again on a daily basis. I can even do downward dogs and chaturangas again. Only moves where I have to use only that arm as support don't work for me. I'm so happy I can finally do your practices almost completely again! They've already helped me so much! Thanks a lot, Shona!

[@shona_vertue]

oh my goodness!!!! NOOOOOO!!!! Of course ... I will film it as soon as I can. I think this sequence could work for you as it's mostly hip based, but I'll also make another one of course.

[@pam9776]

Do you know anyone with fibro/ other chronic pain conditions that affect all their joints (especially neck and back&shoulders), who were able to get back to lifting normally after working on mobility? I’m just suffering these days

[@csscott9803]

Can't wait you that song? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@csscott9803]

You always kick butt in your videos, Shona 😁💦💪👊

[@shona_vertue]

thank you for the support - always 💕
