Hip Stretch Yoga

About this class

Hip Stretch Yoga is the ultimate class for, you guessed it, tension and tightness in the hips! Welcome to this MerryBody Slow Flow goodness, feel your hip flexors, glutes and hamstring ease and open as you breathe deeply and move mindfully through this 19 minute flow. If you’re a lover of Pilates… your hips will thank you for this!

Alignment notes

For pigeon, focus on squaring off the hips, the front hip draws back and the back him draws forward and down. During Double Pigeon, the most important thing to check in with is your stacked ankle. Be sure it is not sickling in, keep the foot flexed and strong. If you can’t, then take the option shown, easy crossed legged.
