If you want to give shape to your hips and work on toning them, incorporating the following yogasanas into your regular practice can be beneficial:

  1. Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II): This pose helps strengthen and tone the hips, thighs, and glutes. Stand with your feet wide apart, extend your arms parallel to the floor, and lunge into a deep side lunge while keeping your back foot firmly grounded.

  2. Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana): Bridge pose targets the hips, thighs, and glutes. Lie on your back, bend your knees, and lift your hips off the mat, pressing your feet and arms into the ground. Engage your glutes and hold the pose for a few breaths.

  3. Fire Hydrant Pose: Begin on all fours, and then lift one leg out to the side, keeping it bent at a 90-degree angle. This pose specifically targets the hip abductor muscles and can help strengthen and shape the hips.

  4. Goddess Pose (Utkata Konasana): Stand with your feet wider than hip-width apart, toes turned out, and lower into a deep squat. Keep your chest lifted, engage your core, and press your knees outwards. This pose helps work the inner thighs and hips.

  5. Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana): Pigeon pose deeply stretches the hip flexors and outer hips. From a high plank position, bring one knee forward towards the same-side wrist, and extend the opposite leg back. Lower your upper body onto the mat or a support, and breathe deeply into the hip stretch.

  6. Chair Pose (Utkatasana): Chair pose engages the muscles in the hips, thighs, and glutes. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, sink your hips back as if sitting in a chair, and raise your arms overhead. Hold the pose while keeping your weight in your heels.

Remember to listen to your body, practice with proper alignment, and gradually increase the intensity or duration of your yoga practice. Consistency and patience are key in seeing progress. If you have any specific health concerns or limitations, it's always advisable to consult with a qualified yoga instructor or healthcare professional before starting a new exercise routine.
