Freedom for the Hips

Let's explore the five different directions of spine movement with an aerial hammock or traditional yoga props. A longer-held posture with a hammock applies a gentle push to soften up the different layers of connective tissues while the pull of gravity help lengthens the body to create space.

This class offers the option to use an aerial hammock or traditional yoga props to work towards Ardha Kapotasana, Half Pigeon. We will take time to warm up the body, open the hips, and chest while working with a lower height of the hammock to allows us to catch a Half Pigeon at flight.

With hammock at hip height, this class focuses on increasing the range of movement while respecting the need to maintain stability in our shoulders. We will take our time to hold the pose to allow the muscles around the shoulder girdles to release tension and to gain greater flexibility.
