Hip Joints Moving Freely

The focus of tonight’s class is the hip joint. The intent is to find ease and pleasure with our levels of mobility and stability with this joint.

The hip joint is a ball and socket joint. The head of the femur forms the “ball” and inserts into the socket of the pelvis. The ball shape allows for mobility in many directions, while the depth of the socket provides stability.

Tonight, we will sense and play with the flexibility, mobility, stability, stiffness, restriction and range of motion determined by this bone and joint relationship.

According to the founders of Nia: Healthy hip joints are vital to fluidity and power in your legs. When your hip joints move freely, your pelvis and thighbones can work together to support you in any range of motion.

Join me for class tonight: 5pm at NW Community Yoga, 701 NW 70th St Seattle, WA 98117.
