Course Overview

Want to increase strength and mobility in your lower body and take your hip-focused poses to the next level?

In this workshop, you’ll explore hip joint movements that can both help you with everyday movements like bending and squatting and benefit your yoga practice—from forward bends and backbends to twists and arm balances.

First, you’ll practice a grounding seated flow three times, activating your core and progressively working with deeper ranges of motion in your hips as you work dynamically toward paripurna navasana (full boat pose). After that, you’ll head into a practice that includes doing blanket slides in pigeon variations, moving from seated to standing without using your hands, exploring challenging weight shifts in different types of squats, doing a supine version of visvamitrasana, and much, much more. 

Enjoy this opportunity to do deep, focused hip work in a fun way that will leave you and your hips feeling freer and stronger and ready to move with greater ease!

  • This adventure begins with a short resistance warm-up to wake up your hips. Carrie sets the tone by encouraging you to feel each movement, to avoid correcting yourself, and to be accepting of your natural asymmetry. After that, you’ll practice a grounding seated flow three times, activating your core and progressively working with deeper ranges of motion in your hips as you move dynamically toward paripurna navasana (full boat pose). The first time through you’ll use your hands for support in transitions, the second time you’ll try the transitions without hand support, and the third time you’ll...
