SUMMARY: Tight hips affect your lower back, your knees, and posture. By using this 15-min daily challenge, over 80,000 students have experienced huge gains in their hip mobility, even when starting from zero.

Unlock your butt-to-heels squat—finally!

1. Unlock your butt-to-heels squat—finally!

Anyone can learn to squat butt-to-heels with the right stretching system. Don’t believe me? Remember this: half the world’s population squats every time they use the toilet. The full squat is among your body’s basic ranges of motion, so unless you have major injury or illness, you can learn this pose at any age.

Sit cross-legged comfortably—like when you were young

2. Sit cross-legged comfortably—like when you were young

Remember in kindergarten, when you could sit cross-legged on the floor all afternoon? Now your knees pop up and it feels uncomfortable. If you don’t use it, you lose it. And that’s what’s happened. You have tight adductors, but with targeted stretching, you can unlock them to sit comfortably again and, more importantly, relieve pressure on your lower back and knees.

Reduce your back pain at the source

3. Reduce your back pain at the source

The problem with tight hips is that your lower back often ends up paying the price when you hunch instead of squat, and you walk around with an exaggerated anterior pelvic tilt.
In this challenge, you’ll train the exact myofascial systems that impact your kinetic chain, putting excess pressure on your lower back. The result? Better posture, less compression, and biomechanically sound movements.

Reduce your knee problems

4. Reduce your knee problems

Tight hips are the leading cause of duck-walk leg swings while walking and running, and that puts a tremendous amount of unnecessary pressure on your inner knee. Worse still, tight hips, compress your knees when you sit cross-legged on the floor or in a chair. If you want happy knees, you need to unlock your hips, so they stop creating downstream pressure.

Improve your full body posture

5. Improve your full body posture

Tight hips cause you to hunch instead of squat when you tie your shoelaces. This encourages excessive anterior pelvic tilt, leading to a forward hunch of your upper back and neck. Your hips are not the only thing that matter for good posture, but they’re the most important, since they are the midline and anchor point of your body. When your hips are unlocked, it’s so much easier to improve your posture naturally.

6. See results in just 15-minutes a day

Flexibility is best achieved through consistency, but the good news is you only need to commit to 15 minutes per day of targeting exercise. In this challenge, you simply press play and follow along as I guide you through 2-3 postures per day to systematically open your hips.

When you sign up for the challenge, I’ll send you access to my private Instagram account where you can message back and forth with me about any questions you might have. I’m a career yoga teacher, and I understand that sometimes students need help with just one thing to overcome a hurdle. I’m here for you.

Master the Science of Stretching techniques

8. Master the Science of Stretching techniques

The Science of Stretching methodology can unlock any joint or muscle in the body using passive stretching, breathe-to-relax, and time under passive tension (TUPT). This was developed from my studies in yoga, anatomy, and movement sciences. These are not just random warm-up stretches you already know, this is a targeted deep stretching protocol that will unlock your hips, and any other joint in the body as well.

Lifetime access (plus live masterclass bonus)

9. Lifetime access (plus live masterclass bonus)

Sign up today, and you’ll get immediate, lifetime access to the entire 21-Day Hip Challenge program. You’ll also be invited to a live masterclass with me that includes a Q&A session. Plus, I’ve included an amazing set of bonuses to help you on your flexibility journey (see below).

Designed for beginners, not ballet dancers

10. Designed for beginners, not ballet dancers

Most stretching routines simply recycle the same ineffective moves you learned in high school gym class or they demand the flexibility of a professional ballerina.

The 21-Day Hip Opening Challenge takes a completely different approach. It focuses on regaining your basic range of motion (bROM) through accessible, science-based exercises designed specifically for beginners who want real, measurable results.

Food & Flexibility Masterclass

$39 value – FREE!

In the same way body builders eat lots of protein and endurance athletes suck down sugary gels, there are specific foods that help (and others that hinder) your muscle and connective tissue growth and recovery. For many people, small dietary shifts or the addition of some very simple, inexpensive vitamins can make a huge difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Science of Stretching program is a 5-day, 15-min per day routine that you repeat weekly for four weeks, targeting hamstrings, hips, wrists, ankles, shoulders, and spine. The 21-Day Hip Opening Challenge also uses Science of Stretching principles, with a passive approach to stretching, but it’s 100% focused on hip opening. Many students do both courses.
No, this is series of pre-recorded videos that you can watch whenever works best for you. We recommend working through each video daily over the course of 21 days. You will have lifetime access to the material and can re-watch any of the videos at anytime.
Yes! If you join me (Lucas) every day for 21 days, you’ll see measurable and noticeable results. You’ll even see my own progress on video as we go (I usually only train hips once or twice per week, so practicing daily for 21 days will make a huge difference to me too).
Yes! Beginners often experience the biggest gains. These are extremely challenging, but very accessible poses. They take more mental focus than physical prowess, so you’re welcome no matter what your fitness level or ability.
All prices shown on the website are in USD. In your shopping cart you can choose your local currency. The price will be calculated according to the exchange rate on that specific date.
Just a yoga mat. Lucas will show you some props, but you can use things around the house (like pillows) as substitutes.
No problem! You’ll have direct access to me (Lucas) via Instagram direct message for 30 days. Ask questions, send pose photos (if needed), and I’ll help you stay on track.
If you want to keep making flexibility gains, keep stretching! If you’re happy with where you’re at, you can do maintenance stretching less frequently, but just as intensely.
YOGABODY Teachers College® is a registered school, so students who successfully complete the course will be given a 5-hour Continuing Education Certificate, which can be applied to the 30-hour-every-three-years minimum requirement for teachers.
This research refers to casual stretching done before workouts or competitions. Light stretches before a run, for example, will prime your nervous system but won’t prevent injury.

However, when you train for flexibility in a way that actually changes your body and movement patterns, this is proven to reduce injuries. This is why professional athletes undergo postural assessment, and why runners and cyclists are filmed to analyze the way they move. If you go from a dysfunctional running or walking gait to a functional one, the change is palpable.

About Lucas Rockwood

I’m a yoga trainer, studio owner, podcaster, and corporate wellness trainer. When I started practicing yoga, I couldn’t touch my toes, but within a very short period of time, I completely transformed my body and my life.

It frustrates me that, for the most part, the ‘how to’ teachings in yoga are horrible. Most yoga teachers do a great job of showing you how flexible they are, but they are lousy at explaining how they got there.

Since I’m not naturally athletic or flexible, the question of ‘what is the best way to make progress?’ has always been my focus. Over time, I’ve uncovered some very simple, yet powerful truths that I know will make a huge difference for you.

To date, I’ve trained more than 7,500 yoga teachers. I have 2.5 million listens of my wellness podcast. I’ve spoken on the TEDx stage, written a six-part series for Yoga Journal, and been interviewed on 16 different radio and television programs. In the corporate space, I train for companies like Meta and Noom. I’m also a dad, a nutrition fanatic, and a serial entrepreneur with an obsession for learning.
