Hip Opening for Lotus: Standing, Seated, Elevated

10 mins

This builds repeatable patterns for opening the hips toward half and full lotus. You’ll work three versions of the same “flip” action—standing, seated on the floor, and seated on a block—with easy, medium, and advanced options in each. The focus is taking the leg out on a diagonal, pre-rotating, and flipping into a momentary half lotus while keeping a neutral pelvis, long tail, and lengthened thigh. Steady rhythm generates heat, coordination, and confidence in your lotus mechanics.
