Hip Mobility and Gentle Twisting

In this lesson, we begin by focusing on movement and alignment in multiple directions while maintaining pelvic stability. Let your arms and legs guide the flow of movement, keeping a grounded awareness in your body to form a stable foundation.

As you move, work on extending your quadriceps and hamstrings to open the front of your pelvis. This extension allows for greater pelvic balance, deepens the groins, and creates more space in the front of your body.

Incorporate gentle twisting movements to engage your abdominal muscles and stimulate your kidneys, further enhancing your sense of internal balance and vitality.

Through these actions, your body will begin to quiet, and your mind will soften, leading to a deeper sense of peace and alignment.

Namaste.
