Warming up the hip adductors
There are many asanas that warm up that lengthen the hip adductors. They are stretched in standing and seated forward bends. The hip adductors are big muscles and they need plenty of time to relax deeply. Three of my favorite hip adductor warm up asanas are:
Supta Buddha Konasana
The hip joints and groins become open and flexible and the adductors and hamstrings are lengthened
Prasarita Padottanasana (standing split leg forward bend)
Strengthens and stretches the inner and back legs and the spine. If the adductors are tight, you will not be able to move forward.
Chandrasana - Lunge
A lunge with a backward bend that strengthens, tones, and lengthens the body; while giving a gentle squeeze to the colon. The adductors are lengthened in both legs in this asana.
