Mindful Flow for Hip Mobility

Your hips are going to love you after this practice! We start reclined on the floor and stay there for over 35 minutes practicing some hip circles, leg stretches, reclined twists, and bridge variations that get your legs singing! Next we get onto all fours for some low lunge variations to open the hips and lengthen the hamstrings (there's a twist in there, too, to wake up the spine!). On our feet we move in and out of triangle pose while balancing a block or book on our top hand (hello shoulders!). Then we have a seat on a couple blocks or stool to find inward and outward rotation through the hips in preparation for lifting off the block into a squat pose. We end with relaxation in savasana.

Props recommended: two yoga blocks and/or a stool or a stack of cushions
