I found a stretch that feels better than pigeon pose for releasing tight hips and glutes, and it's a game-changer for me

A senior woman doing a stretch.

The famous yoga pigeon pose isn't for everyone, whether it's due to preference, mobility, or injury. Recently, I found another stretch I think I prefer to pigeon pose for stretching tight hips and glutes; it's another yoga favorite called cow-face pose.

Cow-face, also called Gomukhasana in Sanskrit, is a seated posture that stretches your outer hips, shoulders, arms, and glutes, but for this variation, I am focusing solely on the lower body. Call it modified cow-face, if you will.
