hip opener
Joint mobility pose
A hip opener is a yoga pose or stretch that increases flexibility and range of motion in the hip joints.
The hips hold tension from sitting and emotional stress, so hip openers like pigeon pose are often emphasized in yoga practice: We ended class with some deep hip openers.
The term extends to any exercise targeting hip mobility.
