This is an excellent hip stretch that will help you relieve any hip pain and stretch your hips and groin as well as your hamstrings. It plays a pivotal role in stretching the entire body. It increases overall balance and stamina but also increases blood circulation and tones the muscles around the hip.

Go as far as you can, comfortably.Pull your arms back and down while squeezing your tailbone and sacrum to the floor.Breathe normally and attempt to hold the pose for one minute or as long as you can.Return to Savasana and repeat 5 times more.
4 Gomukhasana
When your legs pile over each other in the Cow Pose, the load on the muscle-tendon joints increases. In reaction to this stress, the spinal cord signals the muscles to relax.

the spinal column, on the floor below.Hold the position for 10 minutes, or as long as you can, before slowly bringing your leg back to the beginning position.
Bottom Line
Aside from having incorrect posture while sitting or sleeping, even reaching for anything in an elevated position can strain the muscles of the pelvic and hip area, causing significant hip pain.
