Telluride Yoga Festival

Most people hold a lot of emotions and grief in their hips.  In the past year we have had to deal with so much sadness and the feeling of being out of control. By addressing the stiffness in our hips we can also start to work through our grief in a somatic practical way. It is now an acknowledged fact that tight hips can be a serious risk to your health. The AMA, American Medical Association, has publicly declared that sitting is the new smoking. Yogis of course have known this for a long time and there are many poses to help open the hips safely and effectively. There are four sides to the hips: the front, back, inner and outer, all of which are made up of the quadriceps and psoas (hip flexors), the hamstrings, external rotators and the inner groins. This class will cover all four sides and share poses to help you maintain your open hips throughout your life. We will also do some poses to open the feet as they are important too.
