re: Advice for hip flexibility with yoga?

Try attempting to sit in a squat position. Hold on to a pole or something solid for balance if needed. Try and just accumulate 2 mins every 3 days and just increase by 1 minute each week.

Attenpt to keep your torso as straight up and down as possible. Your ankles are prob tight AF too.

Or simply sit in a chair with good posture. Cross one leg over the other right on top the knee. Use your torso by leaning forward to add pressure. This is about as basic as it will get. If you aren't feeling anything put a phone book under your foot on the ground

And hip stretching can be somewhat painful esp if you sit all day at work and again when you get home. Just go slow and breath. You shouldn't rip anything but it can be somewhat painful.
