PRACTICAL TIP

Opening the Hip Joints

To open the hip joints, we need to spend as much time as possible sitting in Ardha Siddhasana.

Practice this posture after Virasana. Again, blankets can be used and slowly decreased in height as your flexibility increases. Keep the knees as wide apart as possible. You can eat, write, or watch TV in this posture. If one spends an hour in it daily, the hip joints will quickly open. After you have gained some flexibility, progress on to Siddhasana.
