Intro to Yoga – Hip Alignment – Sunday March 31st, 12:30-2:30pm

Our hip joints are precisely engineered for powerful smooth movement.  Our pelvis is designed to house the hip joints and also as a “docking station” for the spine connecting the lower limbs to the core.  This powerful area is the fulcrum of all our movement.  It deserves careful attention when we practice yoga.  When we understand how to keep the hips well-aligned and stable as we move through asana (yoga postures) that same awareness follows us off the mat into our daily motion.  Keeping hips aligned and stable as we move means  the joints are preserved well.  When hips move out of alignment chronically, joint surfaces degenerate causing pain and limitation.  In our sitting society we tend to weaken the muscles that hold the hips in alignment and keep them stable.  Yoga helps us reawaken and realign this center of movement in our bodies.  Sign up Now for this healing workshop.

Join Bobby Reader for this mini workshop exploring alignment, stability and freedom for the hips and pelvis.  Keeping hips well-aligned and stable as we open the muscles of the hips and legs to support joint health and free movement.  This mini workshop leads you through a clear awareness of the front/back, top/bottom, and left/right sides of the pelvis and how to keep them as level as possible in our asanas.  Part of our ability to align the pelvis comes from strong core muscles and what is called Mula Bandha (a consistent tone and lift of the pelvic floor).   Just $25 for drop in students.  Preregister or show up early to register at the studio.  Click to Register Now.
