Today we are continuing the Yoga for Olympic Lifters series with a hip and ankle mobility sequence. This thirty minute practice isn't just for Olympic weightlifters. It's also excellent for other athletes, beginners, and anyone who is tight in the hips in the ankles. But if you are an Olympic lifter, this will be a great practice to incorporate into your training to help with mobility which should also help with your lifts like squats, cleans and snatches. 

One of the most frequent questions I get when it comes to working out is how I deal with tightness from weight lifting. For me, it just comes down to making the time to stretch and incorporate yoga every single day - which isn't hard since my job is essentially to do yoga...but obviously that is tough for people with, you know, real jobs. :)
