Hip Mobility Flow (October 2022)

Duration: 43 minutes

Emphasis: This class is all about the hips - you'll start sitting down for some warming up, moving the legs from internal rotation and external rotation and having a bit of fun moving up and down the mat. You'll then move into the sequences which include Balancing Table Pose (sometimes known as Balancing Cat Post) (Dandayamana Bharmanasana), a hip-circling lunge, Lizard Pose (Utthan Pristhasana), Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana), Sphynx Pose (Salamba Bhujangasana) and Locust Pose variations (Salabhasana). Then there's a bit of a challenge for you - making a stack of blocks to sit on and practising standing up and sitting back down again. A bit of balancing follows, standing on a block and swinging one leg, before lying down to rest in Savasana.

Props needed: A blanket to kneel on and a stack of blocks and bricks to make a seat.
