Yeah, I also meant to say that outwith practice just sitting on the floor in

cross-leg/lotus is meant to be good for opening the hips. The main reason we

in the west are so inflexible in the hips, so I heard, is the dreaded chair!

 

Cheers,

Hi! I urge you to be very careful with your knees and do NOT force

them into any lotus posotion if your hips are very tight. The most

common injury is from this. I would also suggest working on some hip

opening poses besides primary series outside of your practice. Some

good ones are splits and frog pose. I too have tight hips and

sensitive knees so I am on the same journey. Namaste!
