Hips As A Gateway To Freedom / Free Your Hips, Free Your Life

Hips As A Gateway To Freedom / Free Your Hips Free Your Life

In this 3-hour workshop with Nicki Doane of Maya Yoga, explore how the alignment of your body influences the alignment of your mind as you embark on a journey to free your hips and, in turn, free your life.

Yogis have long understood the transformative benefits of opening the hips safely and effectively, and this session is designed to guide you through poses that help maintain open hips for a lifetime. With tight hips now recognized as a serious health risk—prompting even the American Medical Association to declare that “sitting is the new smoking”—this workshop offers timely, practical tools for improving your well-being.

Nicki will guide you in addressing the four sides of the hips: the front (quadriceps and psoas), the back (hamstrings), the outer hips (external rotators), and the inner groins. Through a thoughtful sequence of poses, you’ll learn techniques to safely and effectively open these areas, fostering both physical freedom and spiritual growth. This workshop serves as the perfect foundation for a weekend immersed in rich yogic teachings, setting the stage for deeper practice and personal transformation.
