Details

We will be presenting the anatomy of the hips and show that hips are very individual joints, which are determined by gender and culture.

During this workshop we will introduce the anatomy of the hips and how it affects our stance and how it has a direct relationship with most of the asanas whether we do standing, sitting, back bend or inverted poses.

We will be presenting a progressive sequence of poses over the two days, which will take you into a deeper emotional, mental and physical foundation of your asanas practice.
