opening the hips and groin area

In this class we are focused on opening the hips and groin area – we store mountains of emotions in our hips! The area is closely linked with our reproductive system, our low back, and of course the digestive system. When any of these areas are disturbed, the hips and groin can become tight, painful, and stressed.

Additionally, the habit of sitting at a desk a lot is also a huge contribution to the lack of movement and tone which makes mobility more difficult challenging us and our daily behaviors.

This sequence includes:

Tadasana ( Mountain Pose )

Utthita Hasta Padasana

Utthita Trikonasana ( Triangle Pose )

Ardha Chandrasana ( Half Moon Pose)
