This class is designed to stretch and open your hips, and let go of the built up tightness and tension stored in this area. Begin with an integration series followed by several Sun Salutation A and B series to warm the muscles and prepare the body for your practice. Then move through a creative flow that incorporates many hip opening poses such as: Eagle Pose, Half Pigeon Pose, Runners Lunge, Double Pigeon Pose and more. Finally you will slow everything down with a surrender series followed by a relaxing Savasana so you can soak up the benefits of your class. The result is a more centered, more relaxed and more open you.
The 20 minute and 30 minute classes are more gentle and are perfect for the advanced beginner student.

| This was wonderful. Lisa is so peaceful and mindful of a breath lengthening pace. I felt graceful, strong, and proud in this flow. I appreciated that the hip openers were balanced between front and back hip, and that the standing balances were focused on the hips as well. |

| I love all of the hip opening classes, and these are no exception. I ve got both the 20 and 60 min, and I do them all of the time. I reserve the 60 min when I have a lot of time, but it is most certainly worth the extra time. Absolutely love the way I feel after this. I have a hip problem (which my doctor said SHOULDN T be helped by stretching, but is), and I love the focus on the hips. It s really improved my running and has lessened my hip pain. |

| I feel so great after I do this class. I`m on my feet at work sometimes nine hours a day and the Hip Opening Flow classes are great to keep me feeling good through the day. I alternate between this and the Hip Opening #1 because I feel like they are both beneficial in their own ways. This one doesn`t seem quite as challenging at first as the Hip Opening #1 but the benefits are what really matters. |

| After almost a year of doing classes through Yoga Download, this is still one of my favorite classes. When I`m really stressed or just need to unwind, I keep coming back to this class. Afterwards my hips feel open and relaxed. |

| I did this class after a long day on the road - felt much lighter afterwards. This class helps me gain back my equilibrium, and I also like the pose guide very much. Many thanks. |

| I do this class the day after I had a run. Really focuses on opening the hips. I can tell the difference afterwards! |

| Excellent class. Focus is obviously on opening the hips, but also includes some balancing poses and front/back stretches. This class made me discover my hips and walking feels so much lighter afterwards. Lisa Richards is a great instructor - perfect pace and clear, calm voice. |

| Another excellent class conducted by Lisa Richards! Every class I've done led by Lisa I have loved! She has a wonderful soothing voice, moves at a good pace, and offers helpful pose alignment tips and reminders. If you aren't sure which instructor to choose - get one of Lisa's classes - you'll be very pleased! |
