Hip Opening Workshop

Who has tight Hips? Sitters, drivers, couch-surfers, glute-clenchers, runners, walkers, bikers, hikers, weekend warriors, athletes, active yogi's, not-so-active yogi's...We all do!

The Hips are a complex joint in the body comprised of many powerful muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels. The pelvic region is our center of gravity, maintaining important aspects of balance and providing deep muscular connections between upper and lower body. Strength and flexibility are equally important in the mobility and stability of the hips and pelvic region. This area is the storehouse for our creative power and the junk drawer for deep emotions and thoughts we may not even know we have. Hips are the most commonly requested area of focus in a yoga class.

In this workshop, you will be offered a specially sequenced practice designed to increase flexibility and range of motion, restore balance and alignment and improve circulation. This practice will aid in alleviating tension, tight muscles and the accompanying discomfort often found in the low-back and knees. In just two hours, your hips will feel healthier - more open and aligned, providing you a sense of freedom, release and relaxation.
