I first learned about this concept of flow drills from Dr. Andreo Spina of www.FunctionalAnatomySeminars.com - so this is not my invention, I am sharing this idea and this one flow with you because I think you will like it and it will help you with not only hip flexibility, but also stability.  Together the two elements make up your 'mobility'.

The goal of the flow pattern is to move from one position to the next as smoothly as possible, you can try different paces for the movement, but be aware that going quickly helps hide defects in your movement pattern.

If you can go slowly with perfect control and smooth transitions from one position to the next, that is really what we are after.

You will notice in the video that I get a little 'plop' down to my one hip (I think it is my left hip, when I am moving to my left) -- this defect in the pattern highlights an issue in my movement.  In this case, it is likely a lack of external rotation/abduction on my right side so I cannot open up my hip and lower my pelvis all the way under control.

Start with 3-5 slow rotations in each direction -- pay attention to your movement.   Do you need a little 'hitch' to get started?  Do you need to use your hands to get past a sticking point?  Do you lose your balance?  Over time, try to smooth it all out.

Let me know if you like this one by leaving a comment below and I will be sure to share some others with you.
