At Home Program: Level 4, Month 1 – Legacy Collection

This core focused experience is geared to provide balance and strength to the hips and spine. Many of us spend a lot of time sitting in chairs, at desks and driving in cars. Let this thirty minute lesson refresh your hip joints and move them from a tight, closed position into shapes that open and strengthen your core in every range of motion. After experimenting with innovative pose variations with blocks that spark heat, muscular engagement and awareness you may never look at your yoga blocks or do a child’s pose the same way again!

Maintain your mental focus during transition poses like seated staff pose and give your body plenty of time to integrate its growing strength. These seemingly calm moments between exercises will take on new meanings as you deliver energy, integrity and awareness into them. Dial up your body’s knowledge around hip and spinal flexion in a child’s pose variation that is turned ¼ of the way up against gravity and perched on a block. Here seek to build great awareness and strength from the very top of the shoulder / core system via the serratus anterior that threads that work all the way down to the psoas.

While this class is challenging, there are interludes of soothing and lengthening poses like the leg stretch series on a block and head to knee pose. These shapes bring new ease to the front, back, and sides of your hips to inspire deep movement.
