It's all about the hips today as we focus on a deep hip opener yoga flow. You will need two yoga blocks but if you don't have these at home you can use 2 hardback books instead. Your body will be thanking you for this deep release of tension and trapped emotion.
Some of the benefits to practicing hip openers in yoga;
- Improves lower back pain.
- Improves the stability of the body and they also improves your posture.
- Hip opening yoga poses work on increasing the strength and flexibility of the hips which can help prevent injuries in later part of life.
- Our hips are the area in which our body stores our emotions. By working through these hip openers you may feel unexpected emotions start to rise and be released.
Our advice is to let them come up, lean in to them, breathe, and then let them go.
