"The Extendables" (27th October)

47m
Tight hip flexors? Quads? Sore lower back when you stand or walk? This ones for you....
In this class we focus on improving hip extension by improving the position of our pelvis and our rib cage. Often, tight hip flexors and quads are a result of a forwardly tilted pelvis and, although they feel like they need to be stretched, can be resolved by re-orienting our pelvis. We start class with some breathwork to do just this. Then we work on hip extension; starting by isolating the joint motion and then adding complexity by bringing in more joints and patterned movement.
Equipment:
An Elevated Surface (couch is ideal).
A Cushion (for the floor).
A Yoga Block/Stack of Books.
Some Wall Space.
