HIP OPENER WORKSHOP - NEW YEAR, NEW HIPS,

The Hip Opener workshop will include a series of yoga poses focussed on the hips, releasing any physical and emotional barriers to prepare your body.

Our bodies are incredible machines that are designed to move. However our busy lifestyles, and exercise schedules can result in over exercising placing too much strain on our bodies. The way that we move our bodies can lead to hip and lower back problems i.e. Tight, stiff and painful hips and lower back. 

Over time, the hip muscles that join your abdomen to your legs become tight, disrupting the muscles and structures both above and below the hips, consequently resulting in knee problems, lower back pain, and even shoulder and neck pain are connected. Vigorous exercise such as; running, cycling and contact sports can cause repeated use of the hip flexors to lift the leg to propel you forward, placing too much emphasis on the hip, knee and ankle joints. 

Our body also holds emotions in tense muscles and the deep muscles of the hips are often the centre of many embedded and suppressed emotions.
