How many of you have felt tightness in your hips after a long day of sitting, walking, or practicing?
Or wondered why certain shapes like Warrior II, Pigeon, or Chair feel accessible one day and impossible the next?
Even though our bodies are built to move freely, the hips tend to hold onto things like tension, habits, and imbalance. They’re the literal and energetic bridge between our upper and lower body. Our hips are the center of gravity that affects everything from posture to balance to lower-back health.
When we move with awareness and alignment, the hips become a powerful source of stability, mobility, and strength. When we don’t, they can be the root of discomfort, strain, or even injury.
The good news? Your body already has the wisdom to restore harmony, it just needs the right understanding and attention.
That’s exactly what our upcoming workshop is all about.
Powerful Poses: Connecting hip anatomy and biomechanics to your yoga practice. Sunday November 2nd at 4:30pm at our Auke Bay location.
Level up your practice or teaching in this 90-minute alignment fundamentals workshop with Dr. Sarah Stekoll! You’ll deepen your understanding of hip anatomy and learn how intelligent alignment supports both mobility and stability in every pose.
Whether you’re a student looking to move with more ease and confidence or a teacher refining your cues, this workshop will equip you with tools to move smarter, stronger, and injury-free.
You’ll explore:
• Bony structure of the pelvis and femur
• Ligamentous design
• Muscular function
• Applied alignment
In so many cases, hip discomfort or imbalance comes from repeated patterns we don’t even notice. This workshop offers a chance to slow down, tune in, and build awareness that carries far beyond your mat. I will carry into how you walk, stand, and live in your body every day.
Because when you understand the why behind movement, every pose becomes an opportunity for healing and growth.
