I'm looking for something short, ~5min, but if you have a longer one I'd love to hear it, too

I do a lot of hip external rotation, internal rotation, and hamstring stretches. My favorite hamstring stretch i learned from my physical therapist is to lay on my back with one leg propped up at 90 degrees on a doorway, my other leg not propped. I point the free leg straight forward (parallel to the ground) then slowly bring it up to 90 degrees then back down forward, and repeat. Great stretch.
