Course Overview
Description
This four-part online yoga course is specifically designed to address tight hip flexors, a common issue for those who spend prolonged periods in seated positions behind desks or in front of computers. The hip flexor muscle group connect the legs to the torso, facilitating movements like lifting the knees towards the body. Extended sitting can shorten these muscles, leading to chronic tightness that adversely affects the pelvis, spine, and overall posture. Each video in this series features yoga poses that have been chosen for their effectiveness in elongating and mobilising the hip flexor muscles. These poses not only target the hip flexors but also work on loosening tight quadriceps, offering a comprehensive approach to improving lower body flexibility. In addition to learning techniques to counteract the impacts of a sedentary lifestyle, the course will also be beneficial for runners and athletes seeking to enhance their performance and reduce the risk of injury. The course will be suitable for intermediate and experienced yoga practitioners seeking to improve their hip flexibility and overall body alignment.
