30. Hip External and Internal Rotation
welcome to your body
•
15m
This class focuses on restoring and strengthening external and internal rotation in the hips.
Healthy hips are designed to rotate. When this rotational movement is limited, the glutes often struggle to activate properly and the body begins compensating through the lower back, knees, or surrounding muscles. Over time this can contribute to weak glutes, commonly called “dead butt,” and place additional strain on the pelvis and spine.
Hip rotation is also closely connected to pelvic floor function and overall pelvic stability. When the hips move well, the glutes, deep hip muscles, and pelvic floor are able to work together more effectively to support the body.
In this class we explore hip mobilizations, hinges, and pelvic rotations that help restore movement within the hip joint. These movements help build awareness of how the pelvis and hips move together while strengthening the muscles that support this mobility.
You will need a yoga brick, book, or folded blankets, along with a wall or low sturdy surface for support.
This class helps restore rotational mobility in the hips while strengthening the muscles that support healthy glutes, stable hips, and a functional pelvic floor.

31. The Glute and Inner Thigh Connection
This class focuses on one of the most overlooked connections in the body — the relationship between the inner thighs and the glutes.
Most people who want stronger glutes focus on the back of the hip. Some also work the side of the hip. But when these muscles feel stubborn, weak, or difficult to a... -
32. The Lunge Series
This class is a strength-focused session that builds power through the glutes by working the hip in the way it was truly designed to move — not just forwards and back, but rotationally, from the inside out.
The glutes are not a single muscle with a single job. They work in layers, and to build re... -

This class explores one of the most fundamental and underappreciated movements we do every day — walking — and traces it all the way back to where it begins: how we stand.
Most of us think of walking as automatic, something the body just does. But walking is actually a complex and beautiful chain...
