Exercises for Stretching the Hip Flexors

9. Camel Pose

Kneel on a flat surface with knees and feet hip-width apart, toes tucked. Press the tips of each toe against the ground for balance. Place the hands fingers-down in the small of the back. Without rotating the pelvis, raise the chest up and bend back slightly. Once you have bent back as far as possible, remove the hands and place them on the heels if this is available. Press the hips forward to keep a straight line from hips to knees. Tip the head back only if this does not strain the neck.
