This class targets the hips flexors, a common problem area for many, including runners, athletes, people with desk jobs and those with hyperlordosis. David guides you through a class that builds gradually toward a final series of deep openers for the quads and psoas muscles, starting and finishing with a guided relaxation.

This can either be done as a stand-alone class or as Day 15 of the Daily Dose 30-Day Intermediate Yoga Challenge.

I broke my ankle about 9 months ago, plus I've had hip flexor issues for a few years now. This class really helped loosen up some tight areas. Thanks David.

My right psoas is SUPER tight, and this class really helped to stretch to it. I spent a little bit of extra time in each pose that stretched out the right side. Definitely going to be doing this one regularly! Thanks David!

Great class! I have been doing a lot of the beginner classes, but this was a nice transition to an intermediate class; not too difficult, but definitely more work and took more concentration!

Thank you. I have lordosis and I run steps out a lot. This class was wonderfully paced, gently taught but challenging in all the ways necessary to get my hip flexors stretched out. Thanks for the important reminders about engaging the gluts - boy does that make a difference. Thank you for all you do. I have benefited enormously from the classes on this site and told many people about it!
