My favorite hip flexor stretch is a class off of doyogawithme.com led by David Procyshyn called Hip Flexor Heaven. You can find it here:
https://www.doyogawithme.com/content...lexor-heaven-0 I love it for two reasons: first, he does a really good progression to slowly work you into deeper stretches. Second, he focuses on flexing your glutes and I found that really helps me stretch out my hip flexors. I've found this has helped my lower back a lot. It is 35 minutes, but he spends the 1st and last 5 minutes in savasana, so you could easily skip that and make it 25 minutes or so. |

Thank you for the YouTube link to Sam Visnic! Glad to have found him and have subscribed to his channel. What has helped me with my hip issues, including strengthening my core after an injury that laid me low for an entire year was and still is Pilates on a Balanced Body reformer and this strange object called The OOV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL9wtYzi2dA |

Another vote for Pilates. I have had tight hips also for years. CS, almost daily, helped some, for awhile.
About 8 weeks ago I started doing Pilates on almost daily basis (and no CS). Pilates has made a huge different in flexible and strength in my hips, as well as my core. More Than Mat Pilates, Advanced is my favorite, but there are many other great ones out there. |
