The Hip Helix

Hip strength and mobility are of paramount importance as our body ages and adapts. As a young hip replacement recipient, I consumed countless practices to prepare my hips for surgery and to foster repair post-operatively. This class is a treasure chest of practices that are helpful to your hips no matter what phase of build up or breakdown they’re in. This class includes pelvic floor work, dynamic and isometric challenges, single leg work and, of course, self-myofascial release.

After doing the THE HIP HELIX class, we recommend you also do the following class from the Library:

• Like BUTTer: A Treat for Your Seat

In each class from MOVE, BREATHE, ROLL – Innovate Series Jill leaves the confines of the ‘rectangle cage’ and brings you into her creative lab where she picks one theme and alchemizes it to help you identify body blind spots. Each class is a whole-body session full of surprises and novel therapeutic approaches that address mobility, pain, strength and soft-tissue recovery. If you’re hungering for something a little different, these sequences will interject some spice into your own practice and spark your own creativity.

Props increase our own spatial awareness. When we use objects, like props, they enlarge our feeling perception and how this felt sense extends into other substrates. Your nervous system functionally adapts its sense of feeling and size into the objects we connect with. By exploring our body’s field of influence and exfluence into different props, we solidify our own sensory-motor maps and better our coordination in every aspect of life.
