Yoga for Hips

This practice will open up your hips & hamstrings whilst strengthening your hip flexors & core. We'll be exploring toe binds from many different angles which will improve your balance, strength & range of motion. Variations will be given throughout so you will have options as you build your way up to the more challenging poses. You might want a strap or blocks but they are not specifically cued for in this class.

Whether your stiffness is from sitting at a computer all day or climbing mountains, this class will focus on the chronic tension you deal with in your hips and hamstrings.

This class combines some dynamic stretching as well as longer holds to leave you feeling more mobile and open. Enjoy it any time of day!
