Ultimate Hip Opening Workshop 2.0, Roberta Strickler, RYT 27+ yrs, 5/06, 1-3 pm
Explore the Connections of Your Feet, Ankles, Knees, and Hips in Whole New Way
During this two hour workshop, Roberta will guide you into the ultimate hip openers while exploring variations of traditional asana that engage the muscles of the feet and legs in a unique way. Using props and longer holds in standing poses, this class will have your muscles feeling like you "worked out," while your mind feels restored and rejuvenated. With asana designed to target deep connective tissues to improve total body energy flow, we will systematically release muscle groups in the feet, ankles, knees, groins, and hips. The workshop closes with sophisticated pranayama that will prepare the mind for meditation. Each person comes to meditation in a very unique way, and we will take time to explore and practice several paths.
Standing Asana: Longer holds, prop utilization
Expertly Selective Sequence: Targeting deep connective tissues
Isometric Engagement: Intentional Students will feel similar to post-workout recovery
Pranayama & Meditation: Clear energetic blockages in the body, techniques find deep focus
$40 Regular Exchange, $37 for all Members (automatically at checkout)
*Roberta will offer variations for those that would like to be gentler on their knees. While you will feel restored afterwards, this is not a restorative class - there are standing poses that will require muscle engagement and endurance.

“Our breath may be the most fundamental action we undergo continually without much thought or regard for it. Yet our breath has the power to influence our mood, sleep, digestion, stress level, and blood pressure. Our breath rate can access different energies of the nervous system; tapping into the fight or flight energy for a boost or the rest and digest energy for relaxation. Through this course, one can learn how to help manage one's nervous system, bringing balance and agility to the subtle body energies and responses for all of life's challenges.” - Tommy Miller
