Yoga Poses to Help with Hip Replacement Recovery

These are common yoga postures but performed with a variation that  focuses on health and safety after a total hip replacement. As you start  your yoga practice, always consult with your doctor and a physical  therapist so that your recovery continues to progress toward full  recuperation.

Extended Mountain Pose
