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.

Namaste. I will use this regularly as I suffer chronic bursitis in my hip. After this mornings workout, I was having some hip pain and felt the need for a good stretch- this session was AMAZING! Thank you kindly :)

David, I've never had such an effective and soothing yoga session (at home or at a studio) as I just did with your video above. Your explanation of the fundamentals is spectacular, the pacing was great, and you have a very soothing approach in the session. Thank you 1,000 times.

Hips are tingling-feeling relaxed-thanks for the class:)

David,
Your pace and voice were soothing. I approached this with hesitation but left with a sense of reassurance and new life in my hips. I do have a problem with the muscles down the back of my thighs cramping when doing that typical runners stretch, while grabbing my foot behind me. I feel that continuing to visit this class will help me work that out. The wide leg stretches between each set really helped release those cramps and lengthen the muscles.
Thank you this was an unusual sequence in a great way,
Becky
