HIP MOVES FOR HEALTHY HIPS will help free your hips in order to perform every day actions with grace, ease, agility and confidence, while also preparing for more demanding yoga asanas and movement. In this workshop Bridget will guide you through a self care massage using the Yoga Tune Up® therapy balls targeting the hips/pelvis and thighs, to regenerate, heal and reveal your hidden tight spots, weak spots and injured tissues, aiding in more circulation to these areas. The workshop will also include Yoga Tune Up® mini-vinis, dynamic movements meant to warm up and move the joints through there correct biomechanics, along with other yoga postures and movements that lengthen and strengthen shortened and/or weak muscles surrounding the hips, legs and pelvis and create space in the hip joints. As we will explore the full range of movement possibilities in these areas there will be and emphasis on the importance of alignment of the joints to balance hyper-flexibility with stability.
The overall balance of movement in the hips and pelvis can improve physical conditions such as:
• Lower Back tension
• Sciatic/Sacrum issues
• Knee discomforts
• Mobility and Flexibility dysfunction
• Stability at the hip and sacrum joints.
