A Trip Around the Hips: Hip Opening Class
Many yoga students hear "hip opening" and think about long holds in frog pose or pigeon pose. Hip opening actually  involves a "trip around the hips" where the front, back, inner and outer regions of the hip are both stabilized and mobilized. This session will move beyond typical hip-opening classes and focus on the intelligent articulation of the femur in the hips socket through a  variety of standing, seated and reclined postures that will help students of all levels gain practical ways to make progress in all categories of postures. Whether you want deeper back bends, more advanced arm balances or a sense of calm and equanimity, hip opening will help! All levels. Not good for knee injuries.
