What is one thing runners and office workers have in common? Tight hips. If you're feeling a pinch or an ouch getting up and down from a chair or out of bed, you may benefit from some hip stretches.
I'm a yoga teacher and yoga therapist, and there are three yoga postures I do every day to keep my hips happy. I know sitting at my laptop all day puts my hip flexors—the muscles at the front of my hips—in a shortened position and this can lead to weakness, stiffness, discomfort and limited mobility in later life.
