Building mobility isn't the same as increasing flexibility, and there's a recurring theme I can spot in people who are trying to increase hip mobility, which is this: prioritizing stretching over developing a better range of motion.
I still believe there's a time and place for stretching muscles, but it's mobility you want to focus on if you have stiff hips that don't move or function well. And trust me, sitting in pigeon pose or other static stretches here and there won't deliver more mobile hips, even if they may provide temporary tension relief or a flexibility boost.
