Bow Pose: Hip Flexor Release
This class is part two in a 4-part series taking you to bow pose (dhanurasana). Moving on from what you learned in Bow Pose: Core Strength, Rachel alternates between a brisk hatha flow and a series of deep, long holds, warming the body up so you can release the hip flexors and the front of the pelvis, ultimately making it easier for your pelvis to tilt back and your body to move into a backbend. This class also has a peak pose, dancers (natarajasana) and will prepare you for the next classes in this series: Bow Pose: Open the Shoulders, and Bow Pose: Ready for the Peak!

Perfect class! I am back to running after a 6 month hiatus and was feeling hip flexor soreness, I am backing off on my mileage and will do more yoga (again). Slacking off on yoga = poor running form. Thank you so much for a really well done class with great instructions on what/where to focus
Always excited for another class from Rachel. This one doesn't disappoint. Thanks for a great session.
Thanks for perfect blend of flow and strength, Rachel! One more for my bookmarked videos!
I loved the pace of this class. Really warmed up and stretched my hip flexor so. Also enjoyed the rotations. Will do this one again. Thank you Rachel
