Before taking a class it is important that you read the disclaimer and the tips below to get the most benefit from your class:

Make sure you have a clear space around your mat and are wearing stretchy, comfortable clothes so you can move easily.

Move within your range of movement, never forcing or straining. This is really important. Remember, you are trying to create ease and freedom within your body – it’s not a competition.

Don’t practice if you are feeling unwell or have an injury and consult your doctor before starting if you have a medical condition or are pregnant.

Make sure to leave at least 1.5 hours between eating a meal and practising yoga. Doing any exercise on a full stomach is not good for your digestion and might make you feel uncomfortable or nauseous.

Breathe deeply, relax and enjoy your yoga.

Thrive Yoga does not offer medical advice and does not accept liability for any damage or any injury caused whilst using the videos – you participate at your own risk.

Hip Flexor Strengthen and Stretch - November 2024

Duration: 30 minutes

Emphasis: In this class you'll be strengthening and stretching your hip flexors. Your primary hip flexors are the Iliacus muscle and the Psoas Major muscle - collectively called the Iliopsoas. These muscles are deep within your body, on either side of the low spine, and they lie over the front of the pelvis and join your upper thigh bone. They are responsible for lifting up your thigh, for example when you are marching, running or walking up stairs. You'll also be strengthening and stretching your front of thigh muscles and also your hip extensor muscles which include your glutes and your hamstrings. This is all quite science-y and anatomical but all you really need to know is that these movements are very helpful for all of us as, in our society, we sit a lot and the hip flexors can become tight and weak. Expect mostly lunge movements (one leg is in flexion and the other in extension) and squats plus some nice, quiet stretches at the end.

Props required: Two blocks plus a blanket for your knees/hips.

Mat direction: Short edge of the mat facing the screen.
