Figure 4 Hip Stretches
21-40 Minutes
•
32m
Most of the poses in this class feature hip openers that have the ankle over the opposite thigh in the 'figure 4' shape. You'll do some seated and supine poses to start, then come to standing for a sequence that includes some balancing (so stand close to a wall for a bit of extra stability), before finishing off with more seated and supine poses. It's nice and slow to give you time to get a really good stretch - I hope you enjoy it.
Props needed: A blanket and a wall if needed.
Mat direction: Long edge of the mat facing the screen.
