A repeated movement in this lesson is with the ankle on the other knee, slowly tilt the standing leg to bring the hanging knee closer to the floor. You’ll improve mobility not only in the hip joint but also in the chest and shoulders that will facilitate the leg movement.
The position described above is helpful also for those with Sciatica or Piriformis Syndrome, when you will lengthen the piriformis muscle, the hamstrings and the hip extensors.
