Ariele Foster – Yoga for 3D Hip Stability

Check it out: Ariele Foster – Yoga for 3D Hip Stability

“Hip opening” is a widely requested theme in yoga classes, but the sedentary habits of modern life that contribute to tightness are best served by the opposite—stabilizing. Join Ariele Foster, PT, DPT, E-RYT, founder of YogaAnatomyAcademy.com, for a four-week on-demand workshop that will dive into foundational hip anatomy and practices that will cultivate strong, mobile hips. Approaching yoga asana from a stabilizing rather than “opening” mindset requires a huge paradigm shift, but if you’re ready to discover the antidote to sitting, don’t miss it.

THIS WORKSHOP IS AVAILABLE ON DEMAND.

CLASS FORMAT:

• 60% lecture & discussion (approximate)
• 40% practice (approximate)

CURRICULUM

Each session will include discussion, practice, downloadable reference PDF, and quiz.

Session 1: Review foundational hip anatomy, with a physical practice examining hip flexors and extensors (forward and backward motions of the hip). You’ll also look at the literature around stretching vs. strengthening.

Session 2: Explore lateral and medial (side-to-side) stability and these muscles’ role in maintaining balance.

Session 3: Look at rotation of the hip, along with the role these rotator muscles and mobility play in agility.

Session 4: Tie together all direction of motion for a path forward to three-dimensional hip stability for life.
