17. Hip Mobility and Stability: Building Control

18m
This class focuses on opening the hips while also building the muscular support needed to stabilize the pelvis.
You will need a yoga brick for this class, or something similar such as a thick book or folded blankets to help support the body in certain positions.
We explore deeper hip stretches that help open the muscles surrounding the hip joint and pelvis. When the hips become tight from sitting, stress, or repetitive movement patterns, they can begin pulling on the pelvis and spine, creating tension and limiting freedom of movement.
In this class we not only create space in the hips through stretching, but also introduce gentle mobilizations that begin activating the muscles needed to support this new range of motion.
As mobility increases, the body learns how to stabilize the pelvis so that the hips can move with both freedom and support.
This balance between opening the hips and strengthening the surrounding muscles helps reduce unnecessary strain on the spine while allowing the hips and legs to move more efficiently.
