I need to be more flexible for high kicks. When I stretch far or try high kicks I have a pain in my hip.

Answer:

Yoga is great for increasing strength and flexibility.

---

lots of practice. you can only become more flexible gradually.

---

To become flexible enough to do the splits, practice doing the splits. Hold it for at least 30 seconds with a light stretch, every day if you can. You might want to see a physio about your hip pain though.

---

if you are not naturally flexible it takes some time. the best time to stretch is immediately after cardio when the muscles/tendons/ligaments are warm and pliable.
