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!

Rachel is truly wonderful teacher. I can't say enough good things about her knowledge of anatomy and the ease of following her cues. Another masterfully taught and much needed practice... Thank you!!!
I love the sequencing and ques in this flow.
This well-rounded class goes great with running! My whole body feels eased up (hip flexors certainly included, but not limited to). Rachel has a gift for teaching subtle actions that enliven each pose. Thank you!
I loved this flow. I loved the tic toc (so simple and yet it felt so good) and I loved the hip openers. Thank you :)
