Why do yoga poses for the hip joint soften the body and have great benefits for other exercises?

Yoga practice can eliminate rigidity in the body, make the body soft, and make the joints flexible. An important joint for controlling body flexibility is the hip joint! In fact, the hip joint is the largest movable joint in the human body. It consists of the femoral head and the acetabulum. It is a multi-axial joint that can perform flexion and extension, retraction, rotation and circular rotation. Therefore, yoga poses for the hip joint can soften the entire body. At the same time, the hip is the main internal source of power for human horizontal movements and plays a large role in sprinting; the hip is also a key link for human horizontal acceleration and a motor for rapid movement of the human body, which plays a very important role in many sports. Of course, the joints and muscles of the hip are the interactive hub connecting the trunk and legs. Whether our posture looks elegant and natural is often determined by the state of the hip. In addition, exercises to strengthen the hips can also promote the function of the digestive and circulatory systems. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
