  • A Yoga Sequence for Happy Hips

    Tension and stress get stored in the body resulting in tight body parts. In yoga, the hips are thought to be where negative emotions are stored. So, releasing them, while physically, mentally and energetically good for you, may be an intense experience. Be patient and gentle with yourself; go slow. The surfaced emotion may feel like a weight has been lifted – and don’t be surprised if this is accompanied by tears! Try this 45 minute hip-py flow (especially if you’re a runner or sit at a desk/in a car most of the day) and let us know how you feel after.
