How to do Kneeling Hip Hinge

On the floorFlowing movementBeginner

Kneeling Hip Hinge is a on the floor flowing stretch for your core, glutes and hips.

Step by step

  1. 1Kneel up tall with your knees hip-width apart and your hands on your hips.
  2. 2Make your back nice and long, like there's a string pulling up through your head.

What you should feel

Keep your back long as you hinge.

Form tips

  • Flat back, neck in line. Move from the hips, not the lower back. Squeeze the glutes at the top.
  • Move slowly… with your breath.
  • Feel your glutes gently working.

Make it easier

If your knees are sensitive, place a folded blanket under them.

Coming out of it

Come back to kneeling tall… and rest.

Muscles it works

Move slowly and stop if anything hurts. This is general guidance, not medical advice; check with a professional if you're injured or recovering.
