Hip, Hip, Hooray
Tight hips are one of the main reasons that students attend yoga classes. Tight hip flexors can be caused by a sedentary lifestyle, too much sitting at an office desk, and even biking, doing squats, weightlifting, and running. When hips flexors, extensors, quadriceps, and hamstrings remain in a shortened position for an extensive amount of time, it takes additional attention to get them to return to their original length.
This class is dedicated to releasing tight and stiff hips and inadvertently tight psoas muscles and a tight lower back. Since the hip joints bear a lot of weight we will also address hip pain around the inner groin area, outer hip, and even the knees.
Asansas: Standing Poses, Downward Facing Dog, Wide Leg Forward Flexion, Supta Padangusthasana Series, Hip Openers in Seated Asanas, Standing and Seated Twists, Hip Extenders such as Camel, Domes, and Bridge, Supported Inversions, and Restoratives.
Pranayama: Each yoga class incorporates pranayama techniques, such as alternate nostril breathing and diaphragmatic (belly) breathing, to calm the mind, soothe the nervous system, and optimize the body’s natural healing capacity.
Pranayama (breath work) maintains healthy lungs where gas exchange occurs (oxygen from the air is transported to the blood and carbon dioxide is eliminated from the blood into the air) and connects us to prana, where vital- life energy is exchanged with the trees where oxygen is received and carbon dioxide is given.

Healing Injury? For those who have a history of injury or trauma and notice that the effects of the minor/major injuries are beginning to interfere with your everyday lives, please note that all of the yoga classes are naturally healing.
Each yoga class is designed to help release stored pain, anxiety, stress, or tension you may be experiencing so that vital, healing energy – prana – can move freely through the entire body. When vital energy is flowing freely (not obstructed), you experience positive emotions, revitalized energy, mental clarity, lightness, pain relief, and an overall sense of well-being.
