Yoga teacher (and teacher to other yoga teachers) Lucas Rockwood says you need three types of movement for hip mobility and flexibility: hip flexion, extension and lateral rotation.

The video below, published to the Yoga Body channel, details why these three movement patterns matter for functional movement and how a lack of any of the above could inhibit how you move. Functional movement pattern issues only become more prevalent as you age, so fixing them now can help you live and feel better, whether it's during exercise or just moving about your day.
