Tight hips are not a condition in themselves, but often a symptom of poor body alignment and lifestyle habits. They can contribute to additional issues such as lower back, knee, ankle, or foot arch pain. On the other end of the spectrum, overly mobile hips can also create problems, including degenerative disc issues and hip joint inflammation.

The muscles of the lower body are naturally strong, yet they often become weak and tight due to underuse and improper movement patterns. Developing hips that are both strong and mobile requires dedicated and mindful practice, and the process is rarely comfortable. However, once you learn how to properly align and activate the hips, you can continue to improve safely on your own.

In this three-part workshop, we will explore: 1) The general structure and function of the hips. 2) The six directions of thigh bone mobility. 3) Pelvic floor health and activation (including Kegel exercises)
