JANUARY 18th, 2.30-4.30 PM
At Mysore Yoga Copenhagen
Hip joints connect our lower body (legs) to our torso through the pelvis. It is held by a strong ligaments and muscular structure that makes it very stable while allowing movements in different axes: flexion, extensions, rotations, abductions and adductions …
In yoga, the region of the pelvis and hips is the seat of two vital energetic centers (Cakra) called Muladhara (Root) and Svadhisthana (the Sacral or dwelling of the self) Cakra. The root Cakra reflects our connection to earth, our foundations and it supports our stability. While the sacral Cakra reflect our creative being and our potential. It supports personal expansion.
Hips mobility and stability play a key role in our daily life and in our Yoga Asana (Postures) practice as well. Unfortunately, our modern lifestyles (sitting for too long), pathologies or even natural aging can reduce the hip range of motion and sometimes even impede the normal functioning of the joint. Practicing extreme forms of asana can also lead to a destabilization of the joint.
During this workshop, we will use yoga asana to restore and/or enhance hip joint mobility. We will learn to practice in a safe way that strengthens and stretches the muscles while respecting individual range of motion and preserving joint stability. These exercises and techniques can be used/included afterwards in your daily yoga practice or for your personal body work routine. »
