In this session we bring our focus to the hips! It might feel like we spend a disproportionate amount of time stretching and strengthening the hips (especially if they aren't a favourite!) and that's because our hips are a keystone to our body and its proper functioning. Often our daily activities such as sitting and sports tend to tighten and shorten the hip and glute muscles; relieving tension and increasing mobility and range of motion in the hips and groin improves posture and can help relieve back and knee pain, as well as release emotions, which we tend to store in the hips. So whether you are in the love or hate camp of hip stretching, the benefits are well worth giving these poses a chance. Flowing through a variety of postures including lunges, high and low squats, frog, cow-faced pose and pigeon we breathe and smile and welcome the release 🙂
