Want to improve your hip health but don’t have much time? Yoga and mindfulness teacher Esther da Costa has created a simple three-pose routine that opens up stiff hips while also developing your core muscles and activating your glutes—and it only takes seven minutes to do.
The workout is based on the half moon pose, which is similar to a single leg touchdown. There are three variations to try, each of which require hip mobility, balance and core strength to perform. Da Costa recommends repeating each move five to eight times. You don’t need much equipment to do it, but a yoga mat will come in handy if you have one.
