Hi ᥫ᭡

This is a 30 minute practice specifically designed to target the area around the hips.

I am passionate about hip opening yoga classes since most of us experience a lot of tension here.

In this day and age, we spend a lot of time with our hips in flexion which is why it can be so potent and rewarding to stretch this area properly.

Hip-openers are also a great practice for cyclists, runners, dancers and athletes. Hip opening poses not only increase flexibility and improve posture, but they also help release stored stress and anxiety for overall mental well-being.

Beyond the regular stretch, hip openers play a crucial role in soothing the lower body discomfort, improving posture, and enhancing circulation. The hips tend to absorb a lot of emotions - particularly stress, guilt, fear and sadness. Opening the hips can create space for the birth of new ideas and opens us physically, spiritually and creatively.

You may experience deep releases, so please go gently with yourself and know that you are safe to feel discomforting emotions. I invite you to cry if you need to and really treat yourself and your body with a lot of love and compassion ♡

For background music when you practice, I recommend trying out the "Nervous System Regulation" playlist on Jade Journeys' Spotify:

I hope you enjoy the class - don't hesitate to let me know if you have any feedback or requests for other muscle groups you would like to target ꨄ

Lots of Love,

Natalie
